Hey Makers and Hunters! 👋
I’m really excited to share Oom with you all, a chat app that’s designed to skip the small talk and help you get to know people like never before ✨
Over the past five years, myself and my co-founder, Ed, found that we were posting increasingly less to social media and spending more and more time in group chats and DMs. But while most chat apps are useful tools for staying in touch and sharing links, they’re all largely the same! We were having the same conversations with the same people in the same kind of environment across five or six different platforms.
We started building Oom because we felt that it was high time for something new. Our mission is to create the most fun and engaging place to chat with friends, new and old.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
⚡ Chats are loaded with thousands of prompts that break the ice and drive the conversation forward.
🎚️ By answering prompts, you level up your chat and unlock new topics and features.
🌱 Every chat contains a creature called a Fini that represents the relationship between the two users and evolves as you stay connected.
🎲 Our new ‘Roll the dice’ feature lets you meet new people in an anonymous format. You’ll have 3 hours to chat to a mystery user before deciding whether to reveal your identity or end things there.
You can download Oom today on both iOS and Android at https://oomtogether.com. It’s totally free for anyone to use.
We're just getting started and would love to hear your feedback, comments, and feature ideas! 😊
Happy Ooming,
Sam

Who hunted Oom?
Oom was hunted by Sam Spike. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
