Want a space that is just for your people? Shush is a free, anonymous, text-only chat-room site you can use right now in your browser — no signup, no email, no app to download. In one click you can create a private, password-protected room — only people you share the password with can get in.

Prefer a quieter conversation? Click anyone online to start a private one-to-one message instead. Either way, you control who is in the conversation. Private rooms are temporary by design, so they are great for a quick get-together rather than a permanent group.

Two ways to keep it private

Create a room, set a password, share it with your group.
One-to-one DMs
Message a single person privately, away from the room.

How to start chatting

  1. Pick a nickname. No account, no email — just a name to go by (you confirm you are 18+).
  2. Land in the Lobby. You arrive in the always-on public room and can see who is online now.
  3. Join, create, or DM. Open a room someone has started, create your own public or private room, or message anyone one-to-one.

Anonymous, but kept civil

Shush is for adults (18+). You stay anonymous — no personal details are required — and you can block anyone you do not want to hear from. To keep the rooms safe, a platform admin may review messages; there are no claims of end-to-end privacy here, so chat accordingly. Private rooms add a password so only people you share it with can get in.

Frequently asked questions

How do private chat rooms work?Create a room, mark it private, and set a password. Only people you give the password to can join.
Can I message one person privately?Yes. Click anyone online to open a private one-to-one DM.
Are private rooms permanent?No. Private rooms are temporary and expire after a while, which keeps them lightweight and disposable.
