bmazed connects people naturally without algorithmic influence engineered by the platform; you don't have to worry about intrusive features, your data being used against you, being shadow banned, or wasting your precious time seeing ads— ever. [FEATURES YOU CAN USE INCLUDE] **Thought Happening Right Now** Enter a thought, feeling, phrase, or message of at least three characters. If another person enters the same Thought Input within 8 seconds, THRN connects you both instantly. When two Thought Inputs are similar but not identical, Close Miss gives both people 12 seconds to accept the near-match. **Vault Messenger** Anonymous, or not. Create secret phrases with your friends or try new thoughts to enter a shared phrase that activates a Vault. When it activates, it connects you with someone else who entered the same text — a THRN-style convo that can happen in seconds, days, weeks or who knows! All active Vault conversation automatically ends after 24 hours or the moment either user leaves, whichever comes first — so send a linx request to keep that connection going before the next vault! **Root Roots** Send a message request straight to any user you find publicly with a note attached. They can accept, deny, or block it — once accepted, you're in an ongoing one-on-one conversation. **Global Circles & Local Events** Community feeds where users can post, comment, and engage on topics of interest. Local Events let eligible members (Humanitarian and Business plan holders) create real-world events happening in their area. **Front Pages News Hub** Browse real, current front pages from newspapers across the globe — see how different countries and cities are covering the day's biggest stories all in one place, it's like you're holding up your old school newspaper. **Personal Calendar** Use your calendar to share events with your Linx connections or post them publicly. Anyone who can see an event can chat with others in that event's shared thread. **Linx — Social Connections** Turn a THRN or Vault connection into a lasting friendship. Send a Linx request to keep the connection going — once accepted, message directly, collaborate in shared spaces, and update your Linx circle. **Giving Back** bmazed has made a binding commitment to donate 3 percent of annual net profits to verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Every active paid subscription gets a nomination vote — when bmazed grows, the causes you care about grow too. **Privacy** bmazed never sells your data, and there is no advertising platform anywhere in the app — no ad SDKs, no ad targeting, nothing to sell your attention to. Sensitive identifiers like your IP address and device fingerprint are hashed before being used for security purposes such as fraud prevention and rate-limiting. Crash reporting and other internal monitoring reference you only by an internal ID, never by name or email. Privacy Policy: https://bmazed.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ **Plans** bmazed offers Contributor, Humanitarian, and Business subscription tiers that unlock content creation, expanded messaging, and business features. All core matching and Vault messaging features require an active subscription. CONTENT ADVISORY bmazed includes live, real-time matching with strangers (THRN) and private messaging, including end-to-end encrypted conversations (Vault). Both involve direct, real-time communication with other users. Registration requires a date of birth, and bmazed enforces a country-specific minimum age (13–16, depending on where you live) — checked at sign-up and again on our servers. If you don't meet your country's minimum age, you won't be able to create an account. See bmazed's Terms of Service for the exact minimum age that applies to you.
