Nearby – Free Random Chat

Meet someone new, without giving up your privacy.

Nearby helps you discover and connect with people around you — then talks to them the way a private conversation should work end-to-end encrypted, with nothing readable by us, ever.

WHY PEOPLE USE IT

💬 Real conversations, actually private
Every message, voice note, and call is end-to-end encrypted using post-quantum cryptography (X25519 + ML-KEM-768 + Ed25519). Not "we promise not to look" — mathematically, we can't. No server in the world can read your chats.

📍 Meet people actually near you
Discover people nearby based on distance, age, and gender preferences. See who's online right now, or browse profiles at your own pace — one at a time, like flipping through cards.

🎲 Feeling lucky?
Tap "I'm Feeling Lucky" and get instantly matched with someone else who tapped it too. No waiting on a "like" to be accepted — if you're both up for meeting someone new right now, you're connected immediately.

🎙 Voice notes that just work
Record and send voice messages that deliver reliably, even if the other person isn't online at the moment.

📞 Encrypted calls
Audio and video calls, fully encrypted, peer-to-peer where possible.

✨ Make your profile yours
Write a bio and style it — pick different colors and fonts for different parts of your text. Show some personality before the first "hi."

🔒 No email, no phone number, no password
Your identity is a private key generated on your device. There's nothing to leak in a data breach because there's no account database to breach — we don't have your email, your phone number, or a password to lose.

🗑 Delete anything, anytime
Remove a message, clear a whole conversation, or delete your account entirely — instantly, no "we'll get to it in 30 days."

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Most apps ask you to trust their privacy policy. We built it so you don't have to — the encryption means there's nothing to trust, because there's nothing for us to see. No ads targeting you based on your conversations, because we can't read your conversations. No data broker deals, because there's no readable data to sell.
