ABOUT

Brake. is a web service for time-lock encryption.

Encrypt a URL or text into a link that cannot be opened until one minute, one hour, or one day has passed.

Images, video, audio, and documents work too
(up to 5MB).

For content that deserves attention.

🔍

It raises the cost of a glance, so what matters isn't lost to the scroll.

For launches and announcements.

🚀

Design the moment of release. The information is shared only among those who can wait.

For gifts to someone you know.

⏳

A brake on the flow of information — one breath while you wait.

And more

💡

It's up to you. Surprises, time capsules, anything.
