Sometimes you want to do more than send a message, but arranging a delivery is too much or the timing is wrong. Spot lets you send a friend, coworker, or partner a specific café item through iMessage without making them use it right away. They save it to Apple Wallet and redeem it in-store whenever they want. It’s a personal way to say thanks, cheer them up, or share something you love without sending cash or a generic gift card.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Tristan, the maker of Spot.
I kept coming back to a simple gap in how we show up for people: sometimes a message feels too small, but arranging a delivery feels like too much.
A friend does you a favor. Your partner is having a rough day. You want your boss to try the matcha you love. Delivery forces the timing, while Venmo and generic gift cards lose the thought behind what you wanted to give.
Spot fills that gap:
☕ Choose a specific drink or snack from a local café
💬 Send the gift inside your iMessage conversation
🎟️ They save it to Apple Wallet and redeem it in-store whenever they want
You choose the item. They choose the moment.
We’re launching in San Francisco with six local cafés already on board. We want to learn whether item-specific gifts can make everyday gestures feel more personal without adding delivery logistics.
I’d love your honest take: what moment would make you send a Spot, and what would you choose?
Is it only available for US users? I’m Japanese and it says it’s not available for my region
