Built for People Who Want to Feel Closer
We believe emotional connection is the foundation of every meaningful relationship. At MBOA, Inc., we build tools that help partners share their inner worlds — not through surveillance or tracking, but through presence. Whether it's a romantic partner, a close friend, or anyone who truly cares about you — BeSeen exists because we think feeling seen shouldn't require a conversation every time. Sometimes a gentle signal is enough.
What is BeSeen?
BeSeen is a privacy-first mood journal designed for iOS. It helps you track your emotional wellbeing through quick, expressive check-ins — without sacrificing privacy or creating pressure.
Every check-in captures your mood across five levels — from Heavy to Great — along with emotion tags, context about what you're doing and who you're with, freeform journal notes, photos, and even voice memos with waveform playback. A daily progress ring fills with mood-colored segments as you reflect throughout the day.
What We Mean by “Partner”
In BeSeen, a partner is anyone you trust with your emotional world. A romantic partner, a best friend, a sibling, a parent — whoever truly cares about how you're feeling. BeSeen isn't limited to romantic relationships. It's built for any two people who want to stay emotionally connected.
Designed for Two
BeSeen's partner features let you and someone you care about share emotional presence without oversharing. Link with your partner using a unique invite code, then choose from four sharing tiers — from a simple mood indicator to full context including notes and photos.
See your partner's latest mood in real-time on a dedicated partner card. Send a gentle Buzz — a haptic nudge that says "I'm thinking of you" without words. Exchange Replies to each other's check-ins, or share Invisible Ink messages that disappear after being read once. Auto-share keeps your partner updated without any extra effort.
Insights That Matter
BeSeen automatically generates weekly insight cards showing your mood trends, dominant feelings, and whether things are improving, stable, or declining. Track consecutive-day streaks and celebrate milestones together. A mood calendar gives you a color-coded month-at-a-glance, while detailed stats reveal patterns by time of day, your most frequent feelings, and the contexts that shape your emotional landscape.
Privacy by Design
All your data lives on your device in a local SQLite database. There are no mandatory accounts and no cloud tracking. The only time data leaves your phone is when you choose to connect with a partner — and even then, you control exactly what gets shared.
You can export your data at any time. When you delete your account, everything is wiped — local database, files, server profile, and all partnership data. No traces left behind.
