Your privacy is sacred to us

The Story

Every day, you cross paths with strangers who could change your life. The person reading next to you at the cafe. The familiar face at your regular park. The stranger at last week's concert who shares your taste in music.

These are familiar strangers, people who occupy your physical world but remain invisible in your social one. Craigslist's "Missed Connections" was full of these stories. Regret. Wonder. "What if?"

Seen turns those missed connections into found ones. Not through swiping or algorithms, but by mapping the actual, physical story of your life, the coffee shops, bookstores, trails, and gatherings where you spend your time.

We reveal who else was there, but only after you've both left. No surveillance. No stalking. Just retrospective discovery and the choice to connect. Privacy isn't a feature, it's the foundation.

This is your journal. Your map. Your story, revealing itself one crossed path at a time.

How It Works

Discover connections that were always there, waiting to be found. Simple, safe, and serendipitous.

1

Visit Places

Go about your life. Seen quietly tracks the meaningful places you visit, cafes, parks, events, not every step you take.

2

Crossings Appear

After 24 hours, discover who else was there. No real-time tracking, no surveillance, just retrospective revelations.

3

Reveal Together

See blurred profiles with hints. Both choose to reveal, spend a Spark, and the connection becomes clear.

Not a radar. A memory. All crossings are revealed 24+ hours after you've both left.

Your Story, Mapped

More than a social app, Seen is a living journal of your life's geography and the people who share your spaces.

Crossed Paths Discovery

Discover who visited the same cafes, parks, and events as you, but only after you've both left. Retrospective, never real-time.

Shielded Spots

Mark your home, work, or any sensitive location. No crossings will be generated within 100 meters of these zones.

Ghost Mode

Toggle invisibility anytime. Location tracking pauses instantly, and you won't appear in anyone's crossings until you're ready.

Mutual Reveal

Profiles start blurred. Both people must choose to spend a Spark to reveal each other. Privacy and consent built into every connection.

The Journal

A daily timeline showing where you've been and who crossed your path.

Visit-Based Tracking

Only logs meaningful places where you spend time. Battery-optimized, not GPS-draining continuous surveillance.

“Not a radar. A memory.”

Privacy Isn't Optional

Your safety is built into every line of code. These aren't features, they're fundamentals.

Never Real-Time

All crossings are revealed 24+ hours later. No live tracking, no surveillance.

Shielded Spots

Mark your home, work, or any sensitive location. No crossings within 100 meters.

Delete Anytime

Instant history deletion. Complete right to be forgotten, no questions asked.

How We Protect You

Ghost Mode: Toggle invisibility anytime. Your location tracking pauses instantly, and you won't appear in anyone's crossings.

Visit-Based, Not GPS: We don't track your every move. Seen only logs meaningful places where you spend time (5+ minutes), optimized for battery life and privacy.

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know about how Seen works, protects your privacy, and fits into your life.

Not necessarily, but it can be. Seen is a social memory tool that helps you discover meaningful connections based on shared physical spaces. People can use it to meet potential romantic partners, for finding friends with similar interests or networking. Think of it as a journal that reveals who was part of your story.
Absolutely not. This is our core promise: all crossings are revealed 24+ hours after you've both left. There's no way to see where someone is right now. Plus, you can shield your home, work, or any sensitive location—no crossings will be generated within 100 meters of these spots.
You have complete control. Ghost Mode lets you go invisible anytime, location tracking pauses instantly. You can also permanently shield sensitive locations, review and reject pending visits before they're used for matching, or delete your entire history with one tap. Privacy isn't a feature, it's the foundation.
When you and another Seen user visit the same place, a 'crossing' is created, but you won't know about it until 24+ hours later. Initially, you'll see a blurred profile with a username. Both of you must choose to reveal (using a 'Spark') to unlock full profiles and start chatting. It's mutual, intentional, and respectful.
