How it works / Frequently asked questions

Unseenly is a personal space where you can keep web addresses, people, notes and events that you would rather not leave in their usual places.

It is not a social network or a chat, and it does not connect users.

Sometimes the issue is not remembering something, but where it is stored.

A number in your contacts, a bookmarked page, a note in Notes or a calendar appointment can be very convenient. But you may not want certain things to be kept there.

Unseenly keeps them separate.

No.

You can use Unseenly on a computer, phone or tablet without installing an app.

No.

There is no app to install and no compulsory icon is added to your phone.

Open Unseenly in private browsing mode if you do not want it in your browser history.

A website cannot automatically remove its own visits from browser history.

No.

Unseenly does not use browser or device notifications.

No.

It does not access your phone contacts or synchronise them.

No.

Events saved in Unseenly remain separate from your phone or computer calendar.

No.

This is a deliberate design choice: some things need to remain separate.

No.

There are no public profiles, user searches, friends, followers or suggested people.

No.

A person saved in your Space is simply your private entry. Unseenly does not try to match them to other users.

Yes.

You can add a phone number, email address, web address and other contact methods such as Telegram, Signal, Kik, WhatsApp or other services.

They are words you choose to organise and find saved items more easily.

For example: travel, personal, to read, Rome, work.

Each section has its own filters, keywords and sorting options.

For example, you can show only pinned items or filter by keyword. There is no global search on the “My Unseenly” page.

No.

Everything you save in your Space is private by default.

Yes.

Personal content is stored encrypted in the database.

Encryption is handled on the server: Unseenly must be able to decrypt data when it needs to display it to you or provide service features.

No.

Content is not analysed for advertising, profiling or marketing.

No.

We currently do not display advertising.

No.

The aim is to use only the technical cookies required for the service to operate securely.

Yes.

When you delete a web address, person, note or event, it immediately disappears from your Unseenly and its count.

For a few seconds you can undo deletion. After that, the item is permanently deleted.

Yes.

You can permanently delete your Space and its associated data.

The action cannot be undone.

It is a message designed to be read only once.

After it is successfully read, the content is no longer available.

No.

They do not need to sign up or install anything.

The recipient receives a link and must know the passphrase.

The link finds the message. The passphrase opens it.

Preferably not.

Send the link through one channel and share the passphrase separately: aloud, in person, through another channel or by using something you both already know.

Sending everything together rather defeats the point.

No.

Simply visiting the page does not destroy anything.

The message is consumed only after the correct passphrase is entered and the recipient explicitly opens it.

Apps, email services, security systems or automatic previews can open a link without the person actually reading it.

Yes, but each person must have a separate copy.

Each copy then self-destructs independently.

No.

Unseenly can create multiple copies of the same content.

No.

You do not need to provide the recipient’s name, email address or phone number.

Yes.

You can see whether a copy has not yet been opened or when it was opened.

The receipt does not prove anyone’s identity. It only shows that someone with the link and correct passphrase read the message.

The message content is deleted.

Only a minimal technical receipt may remain, such as the date and time it was opened.

During the Beta, an unread message expires automatically after 7 days.

The content is destroyed when it expires. This period may be refined before the final release.

No.

Unseenly can destroy the copy stored on the server after reading, but it cannot prevent the recipient from photographing, copying or capturing what appears on their device.

Yes.

From an Event you can create self-destructing copies containing the information you want to share.

The Event remains in your Space; copies for other people are destroyed separately after reading.

No.

There are no conversations, inbox, friends list, online presence or message history.

Not inside Unseenly.

They can reply through whichever channel they prefer.

Unseenly is already usable, but the service is still being refined.

Some features may change before the final release.

No.

No payment is required during the Beta.

No.

If a paid service is introduced in the future, you will have to explicitly choose whether to buy it.

No.

Spaces created during the Beta are intended to become legacy Spaces and retain the special limit assigned during this phase.

A free version is planned, but its final limits and features will be decided after observing real use during the Beta.

You can request a recovery link at the email address associated with your Unseenly.

Yes.

The new address will need to be verified.

Your verified address is required to recover access to your Unseenly if you forget your password.

That is why it is important to keep it up to date.

No.

To prevent unauthorised access, support cannot manually assign a Space to someone who can no longer prove access using the available tools.
