Pigeon can send text and GIF messages currently, with more types in future.
It can receive and display formatted texts, images, videos, voice notes, GIFs, reactions, delete messages, open links.
Hi Product Hunters,
My name is Vincent, and I am the creator of this app. Drop any question you have below!
The app is free to try with some limitations, so feel free to give it a download.
It works on Apple Watch running watchOS 8.0 and above, and can run independently.
The limitations are that you cannot:
- view older then the top 10 chats in your "All Chats" list
- view older messages
- send messages (any type)
- send reactions
A subscription unlocks these limitations. By the way, for new subscribers, there's a free 7 day trial! Cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be charged!
Also, an upcoming update will add the option to enlarge message font sizes!
@vincentneo Great job on creating this app, Vincent! Just curious, what was your inspiration behind it? Excited to try it out with the free trial and looking forward to the upcoming update with larger font sizes.
@jorexnovik A user of one of my other apps (a local weather iOS app that included a watch app) once asked if I would make a Telegram client for the Watch, because Telegram no longer includes a watch app anymore, and that there were not much third-party choices in that area either.
I didn't actually use any such clients on the watch before, only the official Telegram iOS app, but I felt that indeed, having such an app could bring convenience to some.
I looked into how to implement such a client, and eventually found interest in it building it, which lead to the release of this app!
Pigeon is the perfect addition to my Apple Watch! Sending messages and GIFs has never been easier. Can't wait to see more types of messages in the future!
