Services · Mobile app development · Matrimonial apps
Codeeo offers matrimonial app development in Saudi Arabia for khatba agencies, family matchmaking services and charitable marriage associations that want to serve families across the Kingdom. We build guardian managed profiles, photo privacy that families control, matchmaker workspaces and the consent and data controls that the Personal Data Protection Law expects. The result is a service that families in any region can trust with something as personal as a marriage proposal, and that you can extend from one city to many.
A national service has to respect that customs differ between regions while the legal framework stays the same. We design one platform with regional settings, so matchmakers in each area can follow local etiquette while compliance, security and reporting are handled once. Families moving between regions keep one account.

What the platform can include
Running a matrimonial service across Saudi Arabia means dealing with national systems once and regional differences many times. Identity, payments, invoicing and data protection follow national rules set by bodies such as SDAIA, ZATCA and the National Cybersecurity Authority. Matchmaking etiquette, the role of the extended family and how quickly photos are shared vary from Najd to the Hijaz, the south and the Eastern Province. The capabilities below are the ones that matter most at national scale. Some belong in the first release for every operator; others, such as association case management or multi region reporting, depend on your model. We set the order with you in discovery and plan the platform so that adding a region never means rebuilding it.
Identity confirmed through Nafath, via an approved provider route, so every guardian and candidate is a real adult resident. The platform keeps only the result of the check and the date, which limits the personal data you hold and makes the verified badge meaningful. Families abroad can be checked by a matchmaker instead.
Fake and underage profiles are stopped before they reach a family.
Separate, recorded consent for each purpose, optional fields for anything the PDPL treats as sensitive, such as religious belief or health, and a self service area where families can see, correct or delete their data. Retention periods are set with your adviser.
Your data handling can be explained to SDAIA and to any family who asks.
Distinct account roles for the guardian, the candidate and other relatives, with the guardian approving contact and the candidate confirming their own listing. The rights of each role can be adjusted per region or per service without changing the code. A candidate can request a direct login once the guardian agrees.
The family hierarchy is built into the platform rather than left to chance.
Matchmakers assigned by region and city, each seeing only her own families and proposals. National administrators see totals and quality measures without opening family files. Families choose whether to be visible in their own region only or nationally. Workload per matchmaker is visible so no region is overloaded.
You can open a new region by appointing a matchmaker, not by redeveloping the app.
Every photo release is a recorded event: who asked, who approved, when it expires and when it was withdrawn. The ledger supports disputes and complaints, and the same structure works whether a region shares photos early or only after a family visit.
Any question about a shared photo can be answered from the record.
When families agree to proceed, the app explains that the marriage contract is registered through the Ministry of Justice's official channels, including Najiz and a licensed marriage registrar, and links there. The app does not draft or store contracts itself.
Families leave the app for the official process at the right moment, with no confusion.
A short explanation at the engagement stage that Saudi law requires premarital screening through the Ministry of Health, with a link to official information. No results or health details are requested or stored, keeping sensitive health data out of your systems.
A required national step is flagged without creating a health data liability.
mada, Apple Pay, STC Bank and SADAD for packages and registrations, connected through a licensed payment provider, with electronic invoices produced in line with ZATCA's Fatoora requirements and exported to your accounting system. Failed payments retry politely without blocking a family's profile.
Payments and tax invoices work the way Saudi families and auditors expect.
Dates of birth, visits and package periods shown in both calendars, with the family's preference remembered. Prayer times by city are used to avoid suggesting visit slots that clash, which matters when guardians in several regions share one schedule.
Scheduling feels natural to every family in every region.
Dashboards showing registrations, proposals and outcomes by region, and audit logs of every staff access to a family file. Security controls follow the National Cybersecurity Authority guidance your adviser considers relevant to your service. Logs are retained for the period your adviser sets.
Leadership sees how each region performs and every sensitive access is traceable.
Who this is for
National scale changes the brief. A single matchmaker can rely on memory and trust; a platform covering several regions needs rules, roles and records that work without her. The operators we build for in Saudi Arabia usually fall into one of the four groups below. For each we start with discovery, held in person at our Riyadh office or by video call for teams elsewhere in the Kingdom. Whatever the group, the first question is the same: what must be true for a guardian in any region to trust your service with a daughter's or son's details?
You are bringing several established matchmakers in different cities together on one platform. Each keeps her own families and her own way of working, while you provide verification, payments and support centrally. We build regional workspaces, national administration and clear rules for when a family can be suggested outside its own region. Financial settlement between the brand and each matchmaker can also be tracked in the admin view.
Each matchmaker keeps her relationships; the brand provides the infrastructure.
Charitable associations that help young people marry often combine matchmaking with premarital courses and family counselling. We separate support records from matchmaking data, add volunteer roles with narrow access and produce reports for your board and for the National Center for Non-Profit Sector's requirements as your adviser defines them. Branches can share a national pool of families or keep separate lists, depending on your policy.
Confirm with your adviser what your licence covers.
You launched in one city and families elsewhere are asking to join. We review the existing app for privacy gaps, then plan regional settings, matchmaker recruitment tools and stronger moderation, so expansion does not weaken the trust you built at home. Where the current code cannot carry the load, we say so plainly. Where it can, we keep what works and avoid a costly rewrite.
You want to enter the Saudi market with a serious, family centred service from day one. We help you choose a launch region, design the consent and guardian model, and build a first release that can pass app store review, satisfy your legal adviser and grow to new regions on a planned schedule. We also prepare the documentation investors and auditors usually ask to see about data handling and security.
How we work together
National operators usually commission a fixed scope first release for the launch region, followed by a retainer that covers regional expansion, compliance updates and new features. Larger programmes often take a dedicated team from our 80+ people across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Discovery can take place at our Riyadh office. Cost is driven by the number of regions and roles, the verification route, payment and invoicing integrations, how much moderation is automated and the depth of reporting your leadership needs. Each is explained in the proposal so you can phase features across regions.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native or cross platform apps for iOS and Android, web workspaces for matchmakers and administrators, and a backend with encryption, role based access and audit logging. Hosting is chosen to meet your data residency and transfer obligations under Saudi law.

03Marketing and tracking
Several national frameworks, confirmed for your model by a Saudi lawyer.
The Personal Data Protection Law, supervised by SDAIA, governs consent, sensitive data and transfers abroad. ZATCA rules cover electronic invoicing, the e-commerce law applies to paid online services, and NCA guidance shapes security expectations. Charities have their own registration rules. We are developers, not legal advisers, so we build to the requirements your lawyer confirms and keep the controls easy to update. Store policies from Apple and Google on age ratings and user generated content apply on top of Saudi law, and we prepare the review notes they ask for.
