A Monkey app alternative for adults who prefer text

A different kind of random chat

Video-first apps are built around a few seconds on camera and a swipe. StrangerYaar is built around conversation: you're matched with one person, you talk in text, and you stay as long as it's interesting.

That suits people who want to actually get to know someone, and people who simply don't want a stranger to see their face.

Adults only

StrangerYaar is strictly for people aged 18 and over. Everyone confirms their age and accepts the community rules before their first chat, and accounts that break them are banned.

What you get

• Random one-to-one chats, matched by interests, language and place
• A random name and avatar instead of your face
• Emoji, GIFs and voice notes
• Add friend, and a Friends tab to keep talking
• One-tap report and block
• An Android app on Google Play, or any browser

Voice, when you both want it

If a text chat is going well, Premium users can ask for a voice call. The other person has to accept, calls go through a relay so neither of you sees the other's IP address, and either of you can hang up at any time.

Free to use

Random chat is free with no account. Premium adds faster matching, the option to match with girls or boys, more interests, voice calls and your own profile photo.
