Boop is a consent-first reconnection app for people you already know. Safety is built into the mechanic, not bolted on: every Boop is anonymous until it is mutual, so the person you reach out to never feels pursued and you never feel rejected. Boop is not a dating app, not a discovery feed, and not for strangers. It exists for one moment: you want to reach out to an old friend, a former coworker, a family member, or someone you still think about, but you do not know if it would be welcome.
You add someone you already know by phone number. 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. Your names appear at the same moment, on both screens, and a private chat opens.
Boop never uploads your contacts. Phone numbers are turned into one-way hashes the moment they reach our servers. Boops expire after 24 hours. Chats are text-only and disappear after seven days. No read receipts, no typing indicators, no public metrics, no algorithmic matching, no stranger interaction.
Boop is invite-only during the v1 beta. Available as a free web app you can install on iPhone (Add to Home Screen via Safari) and Android (Chrome install prompt). Sweden-first, 18+, no ads, no trackers, no contact uploads.
