About the startup

Locksy is the only native AI teen social and messaging app where the countdown starts the moment you hit send — not when they open it. Time ticks for both of you and every second counts. Your friends don't need the app — send a shot, clip, voice note, or message and the timer begins instantly. They'll race to unlock before it's too late. No waiting. No delay. Just the rush. They have one chance to open it before it disappears forever. No replays. No second chances. Just the moment. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a shot, clip, voice note, or message. 2. Lock it and set your vanishing timer. 3. Send it — the countdown starts for both of you. 4. It's opened once… then gone forever. Simple. Ruthless. Addictive. WHAT YOU CAN DO — Secret Drops with live dual countdown timers — Shots, clips, voice notes, and private chat — Stories that exist only for a limited time — Group drops and private chatrooms — Send to friends even if they don't have the app yet BACKROOM Pulled in. Locked in. No outsiders. Your best friends pull you into the Backroom — just your real ones, no randoms, no cap. Pull up, vibe out, drop whatever's on your mind. It's giving cosy. It's giving safe. It's giving "finally, a group chat that's actually just us." LOCKSY AI REMIX Type it. Watch it cook. Drop it. Locksy AI Remix is the first native AI creative layer built directly into a social app — not a filter, not a preset menu, not a separate tool. Type what you want, watch your shot transform in seconds, and drop it before the countdown hits zero. Every drop deserves its own prompt. You're in control. Just type it and it's real. WHY LOCKSY Most social apps are built for permanence. Locksy is built for moments. Locksy is not just another social app with an AI feature bolted on. It's the first social and messaging platform to build native AI directly into the core experience — fast enough to keep pace with a countdown, seamless enough to disappear into the flow. The way ChatGPT changed how people search, Locksy AI Remix is changing how teens create and share. What you send is not stored forever — it lives, it hits, then it disappears. YOUR MESSAGE. THEIR HEART RACING. ONE CHANCE TO OPEN IT. Free. Always will be.
