SAN FRANCISCO - TelAve -- Something is happening in US high schools that the major social platforms did not see coming. Teenagers are leaving the feed behind.

The Feed Is Over for Gen Z

US teens in 2026 are done with algorithms, follower counts, and permanent archives.
They want private. They want real. They want gone when it is over.
Locksy is exactly that.

What Makes Locksy Different

Locksy is the AI-powered teen social chat app built in Silicon Valley.
It is free. It is iOS only. It is available exclusively in the United States.
And it does something no other social app has ever done.

The Countdown Starts When You Send

On every other social app, the timer starts when the recipient opens the message.
On Locksy, the countdown starts the moment you hit send.
Both sides race the same clock simultaneously from the instant the Drop is sent.

Content is permanently deleted when the timer expires. No recovery. No replay. No archive.

The Camera That Never Stops

The Locksy Smart Camera never stops.
Not for notifications. Not for mode switches. Not for any reason.
Photo, video, voice note, and text are all accessible in one tap without ever leaving the camera view.

For US high schoolers whose moments exist for seconds — this is the only camera that actually keeps up.

AI That Executes Whatever You Describe

Locksy AI Remix is the first generative AI creative layer built natively inside a social app's content flow. No preset menu. No finite filter library.

A blank prompt field. Any creative direction described in plain language. The AI makes it in seconds. Teens describe anything they imagine. AI Remix executes it before the countdown runs out.

Private. Ephemeral. Free Always.

Everything on Locksy is permanently deleted when timers expire.
The core experience is free — always.

US Teens Are Spreading It Themselves

Nearly 99% of Locksy users bring in at least one new friend almost immediately.
