Built a face-swap meme app for me and my group chat — YouInMeme (iOS + Android, free)

Hey r/SideProject,

I built out YouInMeme, a free face-swap meme app on iOS and Android. Sharing this here because this sub is the best "what are people actually building" feed.

The idea: make the funniest memes even funnier by putting you or your friends in them without all of the hassle. I wanted that to be a 10-second thing instead of a Photoshop session.

What it does:

  • Selfie to face-swap into any meme template or GIF
  • Library of trending memes, or drop your own in
  • Save to camera roll, share anywhere

Where I am: still very early days. About 100 users, mostly my own family and friends group chats. Trying to figure out if the wedge ("personalized memes hit harder") actually generalizes outside my bubble.

Built solo over 3 months with a couple hours here and there everyday after work — happy to talk stack / decisions in the comments if anyone's curious.

Genuinely curious about:

  • Does the use case make sense?
  • Meme/GIF templates you wish were in there
  • Anything obviously broken or confusing

Happy to answer any questions. Happy to give honest feedback on whatever you're building too. Please take it easy on me, this is the first app I've built hah.

Started as a dumb side project. Now it’s an app. Classic story.

Basically you upload a photo, pick a meme or GIF, and it swaps the face. The results range from “actually pretty good” to “hilarious beyond repair”, which honestly makes it better.

I’ve been quietly terrorizing my friends group texts with these for weeks. Someone finally asked how I was making them so I figured I’d share.

The app is YouInMeme. It’s free to try, no account needed to mess around with it.

Here’s what happened when I put my face on the “Yes!!!” Gif from Old School when Will Ferrel shot himself the dart, then Anakin, and then Legolas and way more!

Would love to hear what hilarious creations you come up with. Drop them in the comments
