C Chatkode

How it works

From temp name to private random chat in seconds.

Chatkode is a random chat app first: pick a temporary name and gender, Match or Skip into a private 1:1, chat with end-to-end encryption, then claim your account within 24 hours — no phone number, no app install.

Step by step

Four steps to random chat.

Here is how Chatkode random chat works — designed for people who want private 1:1 conversations without phone numbers, app stores, or dating-app friction.

  1. 01

    Join with a temporary account

    Open app.chatkode.com/random in any modern browser. Enter a temporary name and gender — no phone number, no download, no store listing. You are chatting in seconds.

  2. 02

    Match or Skip

    Tap Match to pair with someone online for a private 1:1. Not a fit? Skip and find a new partner anytime — you stay in control of every conversation.

  3. 03

    Chat privately

    Once matched, message with end-to-end encryption in your browser. Use Block and Report if needed. Explore privacy tools on the features page and security page.

  4. 04

    Claim your account within 24 hours

    Temporary accounts expire in 24 hours unless claimed. Claim early to keep chats and media. After claiming, you can optionally add friends — random Match/Skip stays the main way to meet people.

Browser random chat

Random chat that travels with your browser.

Whether you are on a phone, laptop, or temporary device, Chatkode opens like any other website. Match into a private encrypted 1:1 without installing another app. See more on use cases and random chat.
