I think people have a special reverence for native mobile apps. Since there's a higher barrier than websites, they feel pretty special. But building a simple native app is pretty easy and there are ample open source apps you can clone and tweak.

So on that note I feel like a custom built "couple" app that does something simple, maybe a shared photo album with some personal touch that you couldn't get on a non-customized product.

My 2 cents

Like for example pull imgs via API from Instagram,Google Photos and Flickr and then display imgs by doing just one search and all in one place :) MyPhotosAreEverywhereHowCanISearchThemAllAtOnce.com

Yes. Do this. Package it as a native app.

Coding for two possible users is also so much easier than arbitrary users. Hardcode all the things.
