About Stranley

Stranley is a lightweight random chat app built around one idea: the best conversations often happen with people you'd never otherwise meet.

Why “Stranley”?

It's a mix of stranger and strangely, because talking to someone you've never met is often strangely good.

What we do

We match you with a random stranger for a private, one-on-one text conversation. There are no profiles, followers or feeds — just two people talking. If the conversation isn't working, you can skip to someone new instantly.

Anonymous by design

You never need an account. We assign each connection a temporary random ID that is discarded when you leave. Read our privacy policy for details about what we store.

Safety first

Every chat has a report button, and reported conversations end immediately. Please read our safety guidelines before you start.
