## What is TickBox?

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
- Write a message, pick a photo or record a voice note.
- Choose when it unlocks - from 5 minutes to 48 hours.
- Your friend receives it instantly but sees only a countdown.
- When time is up, the content is revealed with an animation.
- A push notification alerts them the moment it unlocks.

PERFECT FOR
- Birthday wishes that arrive exactly at midnight.
- Surprises for friends and family.
- Building anticipation before big news.
- Fun challenges between colleagues.
- Love notes with a twist.

CHAT WITH FRIENDS
- 1-on-1 conversations with time-locked messages.
- Group chats with up to 50 members.
- Reply to messages and add reactions.
- Read receipts so you know when messages are seen.
- Real-time typing indicators.

STAY CONNECTED
- Add friends by @username or QR code.
- Share your QR code so others can find you.
- Friend requests with accept/decline.
- Block and unblock users anytime.

YOUR PROFILE
- Choose a unique @username.
- Pick an emoji avatar.
- Set a display name visible to friends.

SECURE BY DESIGN

- No one can read locked content early - not even by modifying the app.
- Server-time validation prevents clock manipulation.
