Overview
Time Hug is a web app I built as a solo founder to help people reunite with their younger self. You upload a recent photo and a childhood photo; AI combines them into a single image of you hugging your younger self. The idea is simple and nostalgic: a tangible way to connect past and present through a single, emotionally resonant image.
How it works

- AI combines them into a single image of you hugging your younger self.

Why it matters
Nostalgia and autobiographical memory are linked to well-being and identity continuity. Time Hug turns that into something shareable: a concrete image that bridges who you were and who you are. AI here serves a personal, emotional use case — not productivity or automation, but connection. The credit-based model keeps it accessible and avoids the subscription fatigue of most SaaS products.
