The Process

Three steps to your circle

No long profiles. No awkward intros. Just honest connection with someone who understands.

01
🎭
Create an anonymous profile
Choose a username — no real name, no photo, no personal data. Just a handle and a few words about what you're going through.
02
🔮
Our algorithm finds your match
We match you based on shared struggles and experiences — not demographics. Because the best listener is someone who's been there too.
03
💬
Connect in encrypted chat
All messages are end-to-end encrypted. Your conversation exists only between you and your match. No logs, no leaks, no data sold.

✦ Matched with Starlight_42 — 3 shared struggles
Starlight_42
I didn't expect to find someone who actually understands the anxiety spiral. It's hard to explain to people who haven't felt it.
You (anonymous)
Exactly. It's like trying to describe a colour. I'm really glad we got matched.
Starlight_42
Same. This already feels different. 🌙

I've been dealing with social anxiety for years. I tried therapy, I tried apps — nothing stuck. Friendship Circle gave me a connection that didn't require me to explain myself from scratch. My match just... already knew.

After my divorce, I didn't want to burden my friends anymore. I found someone here going through something similar. We've been talking every day for four months. I feel less alone than I have in years.

The encryption and anonymity actually made me trust the platform more, not less. I could finally say things I'd never say out loud. And my match said the same. That's rare.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you join.

Yes. We never ask for your real name, photo, or contact details. You choose a username and that's all anyone — including your matches — ever sees. We don't sell, share, or expose your data in any form.
When you sign up, you select the challenges you're facing from a list of common struggles. Our algorithm finds other users with significant overlap in those areas. The more overlap, the stronger the match — so you're always talking to someone who genuinely gets what you're going through.
No. All messages are end-to-end encrypted using Fernet encryption. Even we cannot read the contents of your conversations. The encryption key is stored on your device only.
No — and we're clear about that. Friendship Circle is peer support, not professional mental health care. If you're in crisis or need professional help, please reach out to a qualified therapist or a crisis line. We complement professional help; we don't replace it.
You can block or report any user with one tap. Reports go directly to our moderation team for review within 24 hours. Confirmed violations result in permanent removal. We take a zero-tolerance approach to harassment, abuse, or exploitation.
Core features are free: creating a profile, getting matched, and chatting. Premium plans unlock additional features like priority matching, unlimited active connections, and advanced privacy settings. We'll always keep the core experience free.

You don't have to
go through it alone.
