SaidSo brings freedom and integrity back to posting on social media. Whether you’re looking to simply share your story, some thoughts and views, or you’re longing for a place to flex your natural rights to freedom of expression and free speech, SaidSo is the one-stop app for you. SaidSo allows you to securely upload and store your posts in a social media format that also serves as a personal post-repository: it’s a ‘time capsule’ where your voice will be archived on blockchain forever. SaidSo’s proprietary blockchain architecture guarantees that your posts will be tamper-proof, free from ever being removed, reported, or lost. No censorship. No shadow-banning. No bias. No suppression. Permanent. Immutable. Freedom. Publish posts freely and unhindered: • Share your SaidSo posts to any of your other social media accounts with ease. • No comment section! Keep the focus on your message by expressing yourself without fear of judgment or the distraction and derailment of unwelcome scrutiny or feedback. • Write up to 1,000 characters per post. • Add multiple photos and videos to posts. • Zero ads. No unwanted content suggestions. Guaranteed secure and protected social media experience: • Blockchain allows you to record and store what you said with the guarantee of it never being tampered with, deleted, or censored. • Biometric verification using Face ID or Touch ID eliminates fake accounts and bots, preventing anyone but you from accessing or manipulating your account. • Make your mark in permanent posts. Once you publish a post, it’s forever. • No edits or deletions: no take-backs means more, and full, accountability for fake and hate-speech. Limitless publishing, recording, storing, and restoring of what you said: • Did your post get taken down on another social media site? Simply restore it from the original post archived on SaidSo. • Prove you said it, when you said so. Each post is allocated a unique hash value that serves as evidence to validate each post and your voice. Stay updated and connected with your community: • Full autonomy and control of your homepage with absolutely no content suggestions or filtering: only see posts from those you follow. • Purely chronological display. No automated feed-ranking eliminates timeline confusion. • React to posts by upvoting the posts you like and downvoting the ones you don’t. (Note: SaidSo is currently invite only, which means you'll need to have an invite code, or be invited by someone who already has an account to be able to create an account and use SaidSo.)

Social media wasn't built for your actual friends. It was built to keep you scrolling. Think about it. When did you last open Instagram to see what your best friend is actually doing right now? Instead, you got ads, influencers, and an algorithm deciding what matters. Three hours later, you're watching strangers argue about something you don't care about. Authentic is different. Just your people. Just their faces. Open the app and you see the people who matter to you—what they're doing today, where they are, how they're feeling. No feed. No algorithm. No ads. No influencers. Nothing to scroll. — HOW IT WORKS Share moments with your people whenever you want. A photo from your morning coffee. Your view from the office. Dinner with your family. Your people see it. That's it. But there's also something called a Glimpse. Once a day, at a random time, you get a notification. You have 2 minutes to share a photo—whatever you're doing right now. No planning. No staging. No picking the perfect angle. Just your life, in that moment. You don't pick the perfect moment. The moment picks you. That's what makes it real. Your people are doing the same thing. So you see their unplanned moments too. Tuesday at 2:47pm. Saturday morning still in bed. The boring parts. The real parts. — WHY I BUILT THIS I'm Atin. I got tired of the doom scroll. I wanted a place to see my friends' faces without the noise. Without spending an hour I didn't mean to spend. Without feeling worse after than before. So I built something smaller. Something focused. Something that takes a few minutes a day, not a few hours. No hundred million dollars in funding. No growth hacking. No "engagement optimization." Just a place that respects your time and your relationships. — WHAT YOU GET • Your people's faces, front and center • Share photos anytime, or capture a daily Glimpse • No algorithm deciding what you see • No ads, ever • No follower counts or likes • No strangers, no influencers, no "suggested for you" — The social app for people who are tired of social media. Instagram is for influencers. Authentic is for humans.
