stdout.chat
Anonymous text chat for real conversations. Matched by interests, ranked by conversation quality.·stdout.chat
stdout.chat is a free, text-only chat app for iOS that matches users with strangers who share their interests. It requires no sign-up, phone number, email, or camera use, and creates a random device identity on first launch. Every conversation ends with a quality grade (S, A, B, C) that moves users through a 16-tier rank ladder (NEW to LEGEND). Chats are ephemeral and disappear from servers once a session ends, except for a temporary buffer used for moderation.
