Someone is ready to listen. Right now.
Real people, not bots. A trained Listener answers in under 3 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, about anything at all. No appointment. No waiting room. No judgment.
Whatever it is, you can bring it here.
Three minutes from "I need to talk" to someone who gets it
Open the app
Tap Find a Listener, pick a topic or just say you want to talk, and tell us how you're feeling. Takes about thirty seconds.
Get matched
We connect you with a trained Listener who has lived through something like what you're carrying. Usually in under three minutes.
Say it out loud
Text for as long as you need. Nobody knows your name. End the chat whenever you want, and keep your Listener if it clicked.
A real human. Every single time.
There is no chatbot on the other end of a HearMe conversation. When you type "I'm not okay," a person reads it. Someone who trained for this, who chose to be here tonight, and who has probably felt what you're feeling.
- Listeners online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
- Matched on lived experience, not an algorithm's guess
- Anonymous. Encrypted. HIPAA-compliant.


New in HearMe
How you sleep is how you feel
Sleep Insights connects to Apple Health or Google Health Connect and shows you what your nights are doing to your days. Then it helps you do something about it, including talking it through with a Listener when the night was a bad one.
It works. Researchers checked.
Teams at Stanford, Northwell Health, Penn State, Ohio State, University of Minnesota and University of Mississippi studied what happens when people talk to a HearMe Listener. One conversation moved the needle. Not a course. Not a program. One chat.

Who's on the other end
Real people. Trained for this. Matched to you.
Listeners
Peers who have been where you are and chose to be there for someone else. Every one of them completes our Foundations in Responsive Support Training, built by licensed mental health professionals, before their first chat.
Guides
Experienced Listeners with advanced training who can go deeper with you on the patterns that keep showing up.
Clinicians
Licensed professionals for the moments that need more than a peer. Same app, same privacy, same no-wait promise.
What people say after they hang up

Become a Listener
Our Listeners are nurses and students, retirees and night-shift workers, people in recovery and people who just know what it's like to need an ear. We'll train you. You bring the showing up.
