How BeAnon Works
Three steps to private anonymous conversation. No public identity required.
Getting Started
Open the App
BeAnon is preparing for iOS and Android. Official store links will appear here when available. When you open the app, your anonymous account is created automatically using an anonymous device identifier.
No email. No phone number. No name. No sign-up form.
Get Matched
BeAnon's smart match engine connects you with real people nearby — within approximately 20 km of your location.
Set your interests and preferences to find people you'll actually want to talk to. The algorithm does the rest — no swiping, no browsing profiles.
Chat Anonymously
Start a private anonymous conversation. Send text messages, voice notes, photos, or videos — all without revealing your public identity to other users.
Data is protected in transit using standard transport security. BeAnon does not currently offer end-to-end encryption. Message retention depends on service, safety, moderation, and legal needs.

How BeAnon Is Different
Most chat apps say they care about privacy — then ask for your phone number, track your location history, and scan your messages. BeAnon is built differently from the ground up.

Pro Tip: Account Recovery
Since BeAnon doesn't collect your personal info, recovering your account on a new device requires one optional step: link a Google account in Settings.
This is completely optional and only stores your email for recovery purposes — it doesn't change your anonymity. But if you ever lose your phone, it's the only way to get your account back.
