Ziggy
Your relationship, gamified into a tiny cute companion
Most couples apps sit unopened. Ziggy lives on your Home Screen instead. You two share one pet. Feed him, play games, send doodles — and he reacts. He sleeps at night, sulks if neither of you has fed him by 7pm, and lights up when you visit. Draw something and it lands on your partner's Home Screen widget in seconds, no app opening needed. Built solo, for two people who wanted something smaller than a chat app and warmer than a shared calendar
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Ziggy because every couples app I tried had the same problem: you have to remember to open it. We'd download something, use it for a week, and forget it existed.
So I started from the other end — what if it lived on the Home Screen, where you already look a hundred times a day?
Ziggy is a little pet that two people share. He follows the clock, sleeps at night, and sulks if neither of you has fed him by 7pm. Draw a doodle and it appears on the other person's widget within seconds. There are five tiny games, photos that disappear, and notes that land on their screen without either of you opening anything.
The hardest part wasn't the drawing or the games — it was making the widget genuinely reliable. iOS quietly budgets how often a widget may refresh, and I lost an embarrassing amount of time working out why mine froze halfway through the day. It was asking for a refresh four times per action and spending the whole day's allowance by lunchtime.
It's just me building this, and my partner is user number two, so everything gets tested on our own relationship before it ships.
One thing I keep going back and forth on: would you use this with a close friend, or does it only really make sense for couples?
