2. Let’s Get Started

2.1 Installing Tinké App

Before you can use Tinké, you must install the Tinké app on your compatible devices. You
can install the Tinké app from Apple App Store or Google Play Store by searching for
“Tinké”.

2.2 Registering for an Account

Once you have installed the app, you can choose:

• Log in option to login to your Tinké account (if you
already have a registered account) to start your
measurement or check your readings; or

• Guest Mode option to perform a quick one-time
measurement (if you do not have an account and
do not wish to register for an account); or

• Create Account option to create your Tinké
account (if you do not have an account) to save
and track your readings.

Select “Create Account” to register for an account.

2.3 Selecting a Measurement

When at Guest Mode or your Tinké account Homepage, choose either VITA or ZEN to
start.

Vita Index is your personalized fitness score created by analyzing data collected from

your fitness level.

Zen Index uses your heart rate variability to determine your level of relaxation after 60
seconds of controlled breathing.

2.4 Connecting your Tinké

device.
