One person, on the other end

StrangerLine.
What crosses the line is your choice.

Q: Does typing use coins?

No. Getting a random text match costs no coins. Voice and video calls use coins per minute, apart from any free tries the start page shows.

Q: Will the browser ask for my camera?

Not in text chat. A voice call needs the mic; a video call needs the mic and the camera.

Q: How do I switch to someone else?

Calls have a skip button. Text chats don’t, so for a new person in text, return to the start page and press Start once more.

A random one-to-one chat for adults. Begin with words. Add your voice or camera only when you decide to.

The line has layers

Decide what the other person receives.

Nothing moves up on its own. The three layers stack, and going past words is always your move.

No sign-up. No coins. No permissions.

A text match opens a private chat without signing in and without any camera or microphone prompt. Their name, age, country and languages sit at the top, and the call buttons are there if you want to move up.

Words

No coins needed. A random one-to-one text match never prompts for the camera or the microphone.

Voice

Video

Coins per minute. The browser asks for camera and microphone. Free tries, if offered, sit on the start page.

Personal boundaries

Some things should stay on your side.

StrangerLine is for adults aged 18 and over. You can report or block anyone. Voice and video calls let you move to the next person; in text chat, head back to the start page and begin again.
