Welcome to Seldeo

Why Seldeo

Most social apps grow by pulling more strangers into your feed. Seldeo grows by helping you keep the people you love in the same place. Family group chats, close-friend stories, memorial pages that outlive a browser tab — that's the surface area we care about.

We started Seldeo because the tools we had were either too public (broadcast networks that reward outrage) or too closed (a lone messaging thread with no way to preserve a moment). We wanted something in between: private by default, expressive when you want it to be, and durable enough to leave for the next generation.

What ships on day one

  • Posts, stories, and reels — with per-post audience controls. You choose friends, a circle, or public before you hit share.
  • Direct and group chat — end-to-end encrypted between paired devices.
  • Video and audio calls — powered by Agora, with picture-in-picture on both iOS and Android.
  • Memorials — turn a profile into a shared memorial with contributor invites.
  • Reels with music — licensed background tracks via Soundstripe.

What ships next

We are working through the feature drop calendar publicly. Expect these in the next few months:

  • Circles v2 — smart audience suggestions so you never post to "everyone" by accident.
  • Voice memos on posts — reply to a photo with 30 seconds of audio.
  • Legacy contacts — designate up to three people who can memorialize your account.
