TickBox - Time-Locked Messages

Send time-locked messages! Friends see a countdown until your message reveals.

Send a message. Set a timer. Wait for the reveal.

TickBox lets you send time-locked messages to friends. Set an unlock time - 5 minutes, 12 hours, 2 days - and your recipient sees only a mysterious countdown. When the timer hits zero, your message is revealed. Text, images or voice - every message becomes a surprise.

HOW IT WORKS

- Choose when it unlocks - from 5 minutes to 48 hours.
- Your friend receives it instantly but sees only a countdown.

- A push notification alerts them the moment it unlocks.
