Locket

Locket is a photo-sharing application that allows users to send photos directly to the home screens of friends and family through a widget. The app is designed for sharing personal moments with a close circle of people, rather than a large social network. The company was founded in 2022 by Matt Moss, who initially created the app to share photos with his girlfriend.

Locket operates on a simple premise: users add the Locket widget to their home screen, and when a friend sends them a picture, it instantly appears in the widget. This creates a more intimate and immediate way of sharing photos compared to traditional social media platforms. The company has a straightforward business model, offering the app for free on both iOS and Android. While the current revenue model is not explicitly detailed, potential avenues could include premium features or partnerships in the future. The company has successfully raised $12.5 million in funding, indicating strong investor confidence in its growth potential. Locket was also recognized with an Apple Award, further validating its user experience and design.
