Locket Founder: I built this app for my girlfriend and it took off! | Matt Moss | EP 363 - Vietcetera | Podcast - Nhac.vn

On social media, anyone can become the “best version” of themselves, with perfect photos and carefully selected moments. Yet behind this polished appearance, the sense of genuine connection has gradually faded. Many young people are now looking for a way to share that feels closer and more sincere, where emotions do not need to be edited or displayed, but can appear in their most natural form.

From that simple desire, Locket Widget was born. The app allows users to send photos directly to the home screens of their friends and loved ones, bringing back a sense of authentic connection with the people who truly matter.

The story of Locket also reflects the power of an idea rooted in everyday emotion. What began as a small project created as a gift for the founder’s girlfriend quickly became a global phenomenon with millions of users. Its journey shows that when technology is built upon human feelings, it can not only create something useful but also inspire empathy and connection in the digital era.

In this week’s episode of Vietnam Innovators (English), join host Hao Tran in a conversation with Matt Moss, Founder of Locket Widget, to explore how he turned a personal project into a globally loved product, and how young creators today are redefining the relationship between technology and human emotion.
