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

The real cost of a free chat site is usually nobody being there. We point everyone at the same window — 9PM to 1AM Eastern — rather than pretend it's busy around the clock. The header tells you if you've arrived during it.

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?

No. A nickname is the only thing collected. No email, no phone, no profile.

Do I need to download an app?

No. It runs in the browser on any device.

Is it text or video?

Text only, deliberately. Video is what made Omegle unsafe and eventually shut it down.

When are people actually online?

9PM to 1AM Eastern is the busiest window. Outside it you stay queued until someone appears.
