“I built it as a present for my girlfriend for her birthday last summer,” Moss explains. Locket, he admits, was originally a personal side project - not his main focus. The idea for the app was dreamed up by Matt Moss, a former Apple Worldwide Developer Conference student scholarship winner and recent UC Santa Barbara grad, who had been building a user research and testing platform called Hawkeye Labs. In other words, it turns Apple’s widget system - typically used to showcase information like news, weather, inspirational quotes or photos from your own iPhone’s gallery - into a private social networking platform. A new social app, Locket, popped to the top of the App Store charts in recent days thanks to its clever premise to put live photos from friends in a widget on your iOS homescreen.
