Free, no signup
Talk to strangers online, actually free
"Free" is doing a lot of work on most chat sites. Usually it means free until you want to message someone, or free if you hand over an email and a phone number. Here it means there is nothing to pay and nothing to give.
What free means here
No paid tier, no credits, no payment form. And no account either — no email, no password, no social login, no photo. You type a nickname and you're in.
Nothing to install
Runs in the browser, phone or laptop. Nothing to install, and nothing sitting on your home screen for someone else to notice.
The catch, stated plainly
You can visit at any time, but this is an early community and the queue can be quiet. Join when you have a few minutes to wait. If nobody connects, you can leave and try another time. We do not guarantee an immediate match.
Frequently asked
Is it free with no catch?
Yes. No paid tier, no credits, no payment form. There is nothing on the site to buy.
Do I have to give an email or phone number?
You use a nickname without registering an email address. This does not guarantee anonymity: what you share, technical service data and, in video chat, your image can reveal information. Read the privacy page and keep personal details private.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs in the browser on any device.
Is it text or video?
You can use text chat without a camera. Our separate video chat beta and its availability are at /video.
When are people actually online?
The site is available around the clock, but you need another person in the queue. It can be quiet; you can leave and try again later.
