The Omegle alternative for text chat
Omegle shut down in 2023, but the idea behind it — talking to someone new, instantly — is still great. ChatCho keeps the good part: free, anonymous, one-to-one text chat with strangers, with interest matching and safety tools built in.

Conversation starters
- “What brought you here tonight?”
- “Be honest: what's the most random thing you've learned this week?”
- “If you could live in any city for a year, where would it be?”

- “What's something small that made your day better recently?”
Text only, on purpose
ChatCho never asks for your camera or microphone. Conversations are typed, one-to-one, and happen in real time. That keeps things lighter and more private: nobody sees your face, your room or your surroundings, and you can chat from a bus, a library or your bed at 2 AM without setting anything up.
Instant guest matching
There is no signup form. Choose your gender, add up to five interests if you like, confirm you are 18 or older and tap start. A guest account with a random name is created for you, and ChatCho looks for someone who shares your interests — or anyone, if you leave them empty. Not vibing? Skip and you are searching again in a second.
Safety tools in every chat
Every conversation has report and block buttons. Blocked people can't be matched with you again, and reports are reviewed. ChatCho is for adults only, and sexual content, paid companionship and harassment are not allowed. Like someone? Send a friend request and claim your guest account to keep them.
