A modern Omegle alternative
Omegle closed in 2023. We kept what people loved about it, including random one-on-one chat, the Stop/New button and interest matching, and rebuilt it with a cleaner design, dark mode and a phone-friendly layout.

Anonymous text chat with random strangers
Text chat is the classic way to talk to strangers online. There's no camera and no microphone, just you, a random person and a conversation. Press Text and you're connected in seconds. You'll see when the stranger is typing, and you can skip to someone new at any time with Esc. It's the Omegle text chat experience, rebuilt to be faster and cleaner.
