Quick answer
KnotChat is a free anonymous chat app and website. You chat one-on-one with random strangers by text without sharing your name, number or photo, and no signup is needed. Use it in any browser or the Android app, save the people you click with as Knots, and break the ice with games in the app.
Website — no install
Open knotchat.in on desktop or mobile and start chatting. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.
Android app
The free KnotChat app on Google Play gives you the same anonymous chat with a faster, native experience.
Private by design
Stranger chats are never stored on our servers. You decide what, if anything, to share about yourself.
What is an anonymous chat app?
An anonymous chat app lets you talk to people without revealing who you are — no real name, no phone number, no profile picture. You're matched with someone new and the conversation stands on its own.
KnotChat goes one step further than most: the anonymous stranger chat itself is never saved, so there's no message history sitting on a server.
Website or app: which should you use?
Both give you the same anonymous 1:1 chat. The website is best for a quick conversation on any device. The Android app is best if you chat often, want notifications, or want to save people you meet as knots and keep talking later.
More than a chat window
Beyond one-on-one chat, KnotChat lets you save people you click with as Knots, share photos and voice notes with Premium, and buy optional passes to choose the gender and age group you're matched with.
The Android app also has six icebreaker games.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a KnotChat app?
Yes. KnotChat is free on Google Play for Android. On iPhone and desktop, use the website at knotchat.in — it works in any modern browser.
Do I need an account to use the anonymous chat?
No. Anonymous stranger chat needs no account on the website or the app. Signing in is only needed for optional features like saving a knot.
Is the KnotChat app safe to download?
Install it from the official Google Play listing. KnotChat is for adults 18 and over and has Skip and Report on every chat.
Where are my knot chats stored?
Knot chats in the Android app are stored only on your phone. The server deletes each message as soon as it's delivered, so if you delete the app, clear its data or reinstall it, that chat history is gone for good and can't be recovered.
