Four Brothers from the Philippines, One App: Building Todochi for Shipaton 2026
Meet Lagooners, four Filipino brothers joining Shipaton 2026 to build their first mobile app and share every lesson, challenge, and milestone along the way.
The Lagooners, a team of four brothers from the Philippines, are participating in RevenueCat's Shipaton 2026 hackathon. This is their first hackathon together, and they hope it won't be their last. The team aims to create a scheduling and reminder app called Todochi, designed to make productivity feel more engaging. Instead of relying on standard notification sounds and text, Todochi allows users to receive reminders through character companions with unique voices and personalities.
These characters can stand out from generic notification sounds and deliver reminders in a more personalized and engaging way. The team is currently in the early testing stages of Todochi, working on a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that focuses on providing a scheduler and reminder application with a few selected characters. The app will eventually expand to include more characters, additional interaction methods, and customizable characters.
The Lagooners plan to monetize Todochi through a premium subscription model, offering users access to more refined characters and enhanced experiences in exchange for a subscription fee.
