Mindfuse

Hey HN, I built Mindfuse because I missed having real conversations online. It’s a simple concept: You press a button and get matched with someone, anonymously, for a voice-only conversation. No usernames, no profiles, no feeds. Just two people talking. The goal is to create quiet, meaningful spaces in a noisy, performative internet. It’s live on iOS now. Still early — small user base, no monetization, just people talking. Happy to answer any questions or feedback. I’d especially love to hear from anyone building in the audio/social space or interested in digital minimalism, mindful…

Mindfuse launched on March 8, 2025 with 8 votes, #3,486 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Mindfuse offers one-on-one global audio-only conversation that replace mindless scrolling. Imagine spending all time scrolling having conversations. Mindfuse has: No followers, No ads, No feeds, No algorithms, No profiles, No visuals, No ads, No pressure

Mindfuse is an anonymous voice chat app: one tap and you're in a real 1-on-1 call with a stranger somewhere in the world. No profile, no video. Free to try.

After an hour of scrolling, you just want to talk to someone. One tap and you're in a real voice call with a stranger, somewhere in the world. No profile, no video, no feed. No card needed. One free conversation a month. Unlimited is free for 2 weeks, then €4/month. Busiest time: the Daily Fuse, every night at 9 PM ET, when everyone comes online together. Download, verify your number once, and tap to start talking to a stranger. No profile, no photo — your number is only for verification and is never shown to anyone. It's anonymous voice chat at its simplest: a calmer, more human way to talk to strangers. The small fee keeps out the bots and trolls that ruined free random chat. Your mind…from mindfuse.io

    I built a non-linear UI for ChatGPT2024 · grafychat.com · ▲459

    Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

  • My husband quit his job to build a new social audio app with Flutter2023 · bubblic.app · ▲58

    Wife of an app-builder here. My husband quit his full time job at Apple to work full-time last year on a new social audio app where you are anonymous and there are no videos or images - people can only connect with their voice. The app has been up for just less than 2 months, and it was incredible to see 300 users from all around the world leave voice messages of support for each other. It definitely restored my faith in humanity, so much so that I decided to jump on board as a co-founder :) We are on a mission to end loneliness that is gripping our world today, and we hope you also come…

    faces.io – ridiculously simple video chat2014 · ▲40

    This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome. It’s definitely beta status at best. Audio can get weird—be ready to mute. ;-) Let me know what you think!
