THE BOARD • One-tap "tonight" status: a time, On now, Later, or Not tonight • ETTKB — the Estimated Time to Keyboard, the squad's converging time, with quorum so the night is real • Nudges: hurry someone up or roll-call the whole crew (etiquette limits included) REACTIONS WITH PERSONALITY • Fourteen emotes, each with its own look, sound and buzz — one tap to send, hold for the tray • See who reacted to you and with what, and set a thought bubble that floats from your avatar • A once-a-day Super React the whole crew hears about WIDGETS FIRST • Home Screen widgets for the board, your time, and the countdown • A Live Activity lobby countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as game time approaches • Control Center widget, Apple Watch complications, and Siri shortcuts DISCORD, MEET STEAM • Link Discord and run the board from your server: /ttkb, /ettkb, /onnow, /geton — the TTKB bot announces who's on • Link Steam and TTKB shows "on now · in game" automatically • The Sneaky Game rule: nobody sees you're playing before the time you set.
