Alpha PS
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chat with people you know in real life without knowing who is who. Create a private chat group with friends or colleagues. All members can see who's in the chat group, but no one knows who sent each message. This is perfect if you want to share salaries or other sensitive information with colleagues, or if you want to get honest feedback from friends.
TalkWave
This app offers a unique, text-based social networking experience focused on asynchronous, thoughtful communication. It deliberately avoids real-time chat, multimedia, and dating features, encouraging users to engage in more intentional exchanges.
- Pure text-based interaction
- Asynchronous messaging
- No dating features
- Minimalistic user experience
