Private social, for real life

Your people.
Your plans.
Your circle.

OMA brings conversation, moments and everyday coordination into one private place—and creates the trusted foundation for a new family of private social services.

Social media got bigger.

We think it’s time
to make it closer.

Groups are the new social network. One private foundation can serve many real-life relationships.

One home for your real life

Chat first.
Everything else follows.

OMA begins where your friendships already live: in the conversation. The useful things around it stay within reach.

01

Talk naturally

Chat stays at the center, with the people and context that already matter.

02

Share privately

Photos, videos and everyday moments go to your circle—not a public audience.

03

Make things happen

Plans, locations and shared expenses live beside the conversation that created them.

Designed with boundaries

Privacy should feel
effortless.

Not a settings maze. Not a promise hidden in legal copy. Privacy is part of how OMA behaves.

01

Private by default

Your group is the boundary. Nothing is public unless you choose it.

02

People, not algorithms

No influencer feed and no engagement machine deciding what you see.

03

Permission with a clock

Presence and location are explicit, temporary and easy to stop.

04

Built from Europe

GDPR-first foundations, minimal metadata and a path to end-to-end encryption.

Plan · coordinate · remember

More time together.
Less app-hopping.

The broader OMA vision

Purpose-built experiences.
One private foundation.

OMA starts with friend groups and trips. The same trusted identity, consent, relationship and coordination layer can power other parts of real life—without rebuilding public social media.

The current MVP remains focused on private friend groups and trips. These services show how that foundation can expand over time.

A return to the original idea

Built once before.
Reimagined for now.

In 2000, Ville Penttilä co-founded Wiral in Helsinki—building presence, messaging and location-based social experiences years before smartphones made them everyday behavior.

OMA brings that original conviction into a new era: technology should help real friends stay close, without turning their relationships into content for an audience.

“The next great social network won’t be public. It will feel like your own circle.”

Ville Penttilä Founder, OMA Labs

For investors and partners

Let’s build the private
social layer for real life.

OMA Labs is building a private-social foundation that begins with friend groups and can expand into dating, youth, clubs and event experiences. We welcome investors and partners who share this long-term view.
