## What is Tokii?

Tokii is a proximity-based chat app designed to help people connect nearby — with strong age-based safety protections, especially for teens.

--- --
** Connect by Being Nearby **

To add friends on Tokii, simply open the app together with someone nearby.
- No friend search, no phone numbers, and no IDs to exchange.
- When you’re close to each other and both have Tokii open, you can connect instantly.
- Connected friends appear in your *Around* list when they are nearby.
- Add friends to *Picks* if you want to keep them in your list and allow messaging.

--- --
** Built with Safety First **

Tokii is carefully designed to ensure safe communication, particularly for users under 18.
- Tokii is available to users aged 13 and older.
- Age is required during signup and cannot be changed later.
- Age information is used only to enforce safety rules — not for advertising.

--- --
** Extra Protection for Teens **

For users under 18, Tokii automatically applies stricter rules:
- Age-filtered discovery
* Teens can only discover nearby users within a limited age range.
* Anonymous adults outside this range are not visible or reachable.
- Message approval required
* Teens can receive messages **only from users they explicitly approve (Picks)**.
* Messages from unknown users are automatically blocked.

--- --
** Bluetooth Without Location Tracking **

- Tokii uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) only to discover nearby users.
- No GPS, no precise location, no location storage.
- BLE discovery always respects age-based safety filters.

--- --
** Stay Anonymous **

- No real names, emails, phone numbers, or contacts required.
- No social media login.
- Users interact using pseudonymous profiles only.

--- --
** Control & Moderation **

- Block or report users anytime.
- Reported content is reviewed, and repeated violations may lead to suspension.
- Automated moderation helps keep conversations safe and respectful.

--- --
** No Ads. No Tracking. **

- Tokii does not include ads.
- Tokii does not use third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

Tokii is designed to help people connect nearby — while protecting privacy, respecting age boundaries, and keeping users safe.
