Founded in 2012, Wickr is an American software company. The company developed the instant messenger app Wickr Me.

The app also offers features such as self-destructing messages, where messages are automatically deleted after a specified period, and secure file sharing, allowing users to send and receive files securely.
The software is available for the iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems
