How TapForward Works
Create a message. Share your personal link. As people open your link, your counter grows. When it reaches the goal you set, your message unlocks—for you. Everyone else gets their own link to unlock for themselves.
The flow in 3 steps
Create
Write your message and set how many unique opens are needed to reveal it.
Unlock
Each unique open on your link moves your counter. Hit the goal and your message appears.
What’s happening behind the scenes
Everyone gets their own link
When someone visits a message, we generate (or reuse) a personal link for them. Opens counted on your link help you unlock—opens on their link help them.
Unique opens, not spammy refreshes
We only count unique opens, so refreshing the page won’t inflate the counter. This keeps campaigns fair and fun.
Time-boxed visibility by plan
Messages expire after a set window from creation. Keep momentum high with a clear deadline.
Visibility is counted from the exact time the message was created.
Privacy-first by design
Your message stays hidden until it unlocks. Share safely, keep surprises secret, and control when content reveals.
