1. Doing It

Description: “The Activity Sharing App for Introverts” — a minimalist way to share what you're doing with friends. There’s no likes, comments, or expectations; it’s all about quietly letting others know what you’re up to.

Origin: The site (doingit.app) doesn’t explicitly state its location, but several app directories and the branding style strongly suggest a South African origin.
(Exact development location not publicly confirmed.)

2. Ayoba

A “super-app” developed by Progressive Tech Holdings. It’s a messaging and content platform used across Africa, offering chat, music, news, and services in multiple languages.

Origin: Built by a company based in South Africa.
(While not explicitly cited yet, widely reported as South African-built.)

3. SnapScan

A mobile payments app launched in 2013. It enables users to pay with QR codes using their phones—streamlining transactions across South Africa.

Origin: Developed and headquartered in South Africa.

4. Zapper

A QR-based payment and rewards app that allows users to pay, shop, and engage with loyalty programs all in one place.
Origin: A prominent South African fintech app. 

5. Checkers Sixty60

An on-demand grocery delivery app that promises deliveries within 60 minutes. It’s been especially popular in South Africa since its launch in 2019.


Origin: Developed by Checkers (part of Shoprite Holdings), a major South African retail group.
