No photos. No swiping. You're an orb with a thought, and the people near you are too. Talk, and the conversation unlocks more the longer it lasts.
“We built Random for the people you pass every day and never talk to. No profiles to perform, no photos to judge. Just a thought, an orb, and a reason to say hi.”

Feed
One card per person, closest first: their orb, their thought, their trust score, and what you two have in common. Slide the bar and you're already talking.
A thought is one line, or a poll where your thought is the question. You choose how long it stays up, and anyone can reply with a tap on your name. The reply is already a conversation.
The 30 most relevant places within 300 metres, live: cafés and bars, but also parks, stations, schools, the city hall and museums. Everyone checked in gets an orb next to the pin.
Chat
Every conversation starts with plain text. The longer you talk, the more it unlocks. Pick an orb and watch one unfold.

The rest is yours to write.
Journal
After 200 messages with someone, your Journal opens for them. Photos and short videos that are gone for them in 24 hours, and stay with you, day by day.
Unlocks at 200 messagesShare photos and short videos with your closest people only. When they react, it lands in your chat.
Everything you post stays in your own calendar. Open a day and live it again.
Star the moments you want to keep closest. They fall into a pit of bubbles you can toss around.
Post once a day and your streak grows. The flame gets a little bigger every day, up to seven.
Profile
Thoughts, a trust score and controls that keep you safe. Nothing to perform.
Share thoughts without a photo. No follower counts, perfect photos, or curated feeds. Your profile is about your personality, interests and vibe, not your social status.
Your Trust Score is built through real interactions with other people, giving others a better signal of who you are without exposing your real identity.
We built tools so you share only what feels comfortable, and tools that protect you, so Random stays a safe place to discover and connect with the world around you.
Send a request with one line. If they answer, you're talking. No matching, no waiting for a like back.
Everyone on the map is an adult, verified, and actually around you. Orbs, thoughts, and trust scores instead of photos.
Your exact location is never shared. Ghost Mode hides you in one tap, and every report is read by a person.
