Boop. Thinking about someone? Find out if the thought is mutual.
Boop is a consent-first reconnection app for people you already
know. It is for the moment when you think about someone but do not know
if making the first move would be welcome: an old friend, family,
a former coworker, a crush, an ex, or the person you keep almost
texting. Reconnection is one use case, not the whole category.
Boop helps you find out if the thought is mutual, without
exposing the first move. Anonymous until mutual. Nothing happens
unless it is mutual.
How Boop works
You add someone you already know to your private list, manually
by phone number or by picking from your contacts. You send them a
Boop. They receive a quiet, anonymous nudge that someone is
thinking about them, but not who. If they never add you back,
nothing happens. If they independently add you and Boop you too,
it becomes mutual. Names reveal at the same instant on both
screens and a private chat opens.
Privacy and consent
You choose who to add. Boop does not automatically upload your
address book. We do not store your raw phone number in app
tables. It is converted into a one-way hash used for matching.
Boops expire after 24 hours. Chats are text-only and disappear
after seven days. No public search, no swiping, no
people-you-may-know feed, no read receipts, no typing indicators,
no public metrics, no stranger interaction.
Boop is live as an early MVP. It is free to use, Sweden-first, 18+,
and built as a web app you can install on iPhone (Add to Home Screen
via Safari) and Android (Chrome install prompt). The core Boop loop
stays free: send an anonymous Boop, and if the other person
independently Boops you back it becomes mutual, both names appear and
a private chat opens. No public search. No people-you-may-know
feed. No stranger browsing. You choose who to add to your private list.
