What Makes rchat Different

  • 🎚️ Filter before you connect

    Set an age range and choose which genders you want to meet. The match only happens if both people's filters accept each other.

  • 🕵️ Truly anonymous

    No email, no phone number, no account. Pick a display name and you're ready. Your identity never leaves your browser.

  • 💬 Text only, by design

    No camera, no microphone. Conversations happen at your own pace, without the pressure of being on video.

  • 🆓 Free with no ads

    rchat is free to use and has no advertising. No payment details, no subscriptions, no upsells — ever.

How Random Chat Works

  1. Step 1

    Choose a name

    Pick any display name — it's what your chat partner sees. No real name, email, or phone number is ever collected.

  2. Step 2

    Set your filters

    Optionally filter by age range or gender. Leave everything open to meet anyone currently online.

  3. Step 3

    Start chatting

    Press New Chat and you're instantly connected with someone looking right now. Say hi, or skip and try again.

Safe by Design

rchat is for adults aged 18 and over. Anonymity protects both sides — neither you nor your chat partner can be identified from the conversation alone.

  • No identity stored

    Your browser holds a secret key. The server only stores its hash — it can recognise you but cannot impersonate you.

  • No camera, no microphone

    Text chat only. Your camera and microphone are never requested or used.

  • Rate limiting

    Automated flood controls prevent spam and message abuse.

  • Leave any time

    Press Stop or close the tab to end a chat instantly. No explanation needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is rchat free?

Yes, completely. No ads, no payment information, no subscriptions — ever.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is needed. You pick a display name at the start — that's all. No email address, no password, no phone number.

Is the chat anonymous?

Yes. Your browser generates a secret key that stays on your device. The server stores only a hash of it, so it can recognise you on future visits without ever being able to identify you.

How do the age and gender filters work?

Before starting a chat you can set an age range and select which genders you want to meet. The match only happens when both people's filters accept each other — so you'll only meet strangers who also wanted to meet someone like you.

Is there video chat?

No. rchat is text only, on purpose. Your camera and microphone are never used or requested.

Who can use rchat?

rchat is for adults aged 18 and over.

What happens when I leave a chat?

The conversation ends immediately for both people. You can press New Chat to meet someone else, or close the tab to leave entirely.

Can I chat without signing up?

Yes — there is no signup. Just choose a display name when you first open the app and you're ready to chat with strangers immediately.

Ready to meet someone new?

It takes about five seconds. No account, no camera, no fuss — just a conversation with a random stranger.
