Chattly
The Omegle successor that doesn't suck. Text only.
Free anonymous text chat with real people. Mutual gender filter, welcoming for everyone, no bots, no sign-up. A warm, modern Omegle text alternative built for genuine conversations in 2026.
Does anyone else feel like every Omegle alternative completely missed what made Omegle fun in the first place?
I tried a bunch of them recently and kept running into the same issues:
instant webcam overload
bots/spam everywhere
basic filters locked behind subscriptions
weirdly overcomplicated onboarding
I honestly just wanted something simple again:
anonymous
text-only
quick conversations
no signup
I’m a developer, so after complaining about it for months, I ended up building a small version of what I personally wanted.
A few things I focused on:
text-only chats
free gender filter
no email / no account required
smaller capped community instead of massive bot-filled rooms
It’s called Chattly if anyone wants to try it, but I’m mainly posting because I genuinely want feedback from people who miss the old internet chat vibe.
Because we were tired of anonymous chat platforms filled with bots, fake activity, and misleading numbers.
So we built Chattly around one simple principle: transparency.
• No bots or fake engagement. • Real-time male and female user counts that reflect actual active users. • Limited active slots to reduce spam and encourage genuine conversations.
We're not trying to create the biggest chat platform.
We're trying to create the most genuine one, where what you see is actually what you get.
If that sounds like something you've been looking for, give it a try:
