The story

Some things are easier to tell a stranger

Most of us carry a few sentences we have never said out loud. A worry that sounds too small to bring up. A hope that feels too big. Something we are proud of and can't mention without it sounding like bragging. Something we regret.

Telling a friend can feel heavy. Posting it can feel worse: a public post sits there, collects reactions, and becomes part of how people see you.

1Million Secrets started with a simpler idea. What if you could put that sentence into an envelope and hand it to one person, somewhere, who will never know it was you?

One thought. One stranger.

That is the whole app. You write a short message. It goes to exactly one randomly selected person. They can read it, keep it, or let it go. They can't reply, and neither of you ever learns who the other is.

There is no feed, no follower count, no likes and no profile to polish. A message is delivered once, to one person, and stays with them. Your Sent list shows where yours is on its way. Your Inbox fills slowly, one stranger at a time.

Why one message a day

Every account gets one free send a day. That limit is on purpose. When you only have one, you choose your words. The app is meant to be a small daily pause, not another place to scroll.

If you want more, credits let you send or receive extra messages, and you can earn them by watching a few optional ads. Nothing about the core idea is locked behind a purchase.

Anonymous, but not lawless

Anonymity between strangers only works if people feel safe opening their inbox. So 1Million Secrets checks every message for contact details and harmful words before it leaves your phone, and again on our server. Recipients can report, block and hide. Accounts that collect reports are banned automatically, and repeated reports lead to a permanent ban.

We are also honest about the limits. Other users never see who you are, but the service keeps private records of who sent what, so it can work and so reports mean something. A person who receives your words can share them. That is why we ask you never to include anything that identifies you or anyone else.
