How it works
Find someone
Voice only. No camera, no names, no typing.
Start from a question
The kind you're rarely asked. Half the time is theirs.
It closes itself
At fifteen minutes, for both of you. Nothing carries forward.
"What's a memory from childhood that just randomly comes back to you sometimes, even something totally ordinary?"
Why I started this
There were moments.
Moments when I felt lonely and my best friend wasn't answering. When I was curious about the stranger across from me on the subway, but didn't know how to start. When I had fifteen minutes and didn't want to spend them scrolling. When I talked with an AI for a while and still felt empty.
What I wanted wasn't dating, or networking, or even a new friend. It was a lightweight human presence. I've come to believe that can happen between strangers, given the right setup and a mutual intention.
The questions that matter most to us are the ones we're almost never asked, because listeners are rare. So this is a place where we take turns being one.
