Why we built this

The category has a design problem, not a demand problem

When Omegle shut down in November 2023, it had been running for fourteen years and still had enormous traffic. People had not stopped wanting to talk to strangers. What had stopped working was the business of moderating them.

Look at what replaced it and you see the same product rebuilt with the same flaws: no verification, so bots and ban evasion are trivial; moderation that is automated or absent; consequences that reset the moment a session ends; and a design that deletes every connection the instant either person leaves.

That last one is the most under-discussed. Random chat has produced hundreds of millions of conversations and almost no lasting friendships, because the architecture guarantees that nothing survives. The format is not inherently bad at producing connection — it is specifically designed to prevent it.

What we decided to do differently

Treat moderation as the product. A staffed team covering around the clock, permanent blocks, network-level bans for repeat offenders, and age assurance that is actually enforced. This is expensive and it does not show up in a feature list, which is precisely why most of the category skips it.

Give conversations a starting point. Interests-first matching is a small change with a large effect. It turns "hi" and "asl" into an actual opening exchange.

Let good conversations continue. Friend requests, saved chats and message requests after a disconnect. These are the features that make the platform produce something rather than just process something.

Keep nothing you did not ask us to keep. No transcripts, no advertising profiles, no third-party trackers. Anonymity should be a property of the system, not just of the interface.

On being honest about numbers

Most sites in this category publish figures like "5M+ conversations" with no basis, no methodology and no way to check them. We think that is corrosive, and it is why the numbers we publish come with their definition attached — a rolling seven-day median, a thirty-day country count, a stated retention policy.

Where we cannot measure something precisely, we say so. The safety centre is explicit about the trade-offs we made, including the ones that do not flatter us — we do not record live calls, and we cannot offer perfect anonymity.

Who this is for

Adults who want to talk to someone new. People learning a language who need to speak rather than type. Anyone awake at 3am who wants a conversation rather than a feed. People with niche interests who cannot find anyone local who shares them.

It is explicitly not for anyone looking for a sexual service, and anyone who treats the women here as content rather than participants is removed. That is not a policy statement — it is enforced by tooling and by people.
