Comin

A little closer to your people

Private chats, shared plans and calls. No phone number needed

Request access

For iPhone. Each request is reviewed personally

No phone number End-to-end encrypted Your circle, your choice
Circle

Your circle. Your choice

Choose who can reach you. Add friends by username, QR or invitation, and use Only my circle to limit requests from people you don’t know

01

Username, not number

People find you by username, not by SIM card or your full phone book

02

QR or invite

For the people close to you, showing a code is simpler than exposing your whole social graph

03

My circle only

One switch and you're out of search. Only people you already share a chat with — direct or a room — can message or call you first. That's how you set it up for your parents

Fire was once handed to people — and ever since it burns only in their hands

A place for your everyday

A Sunday plan. A familiar voice. A conversation that picks up where you left off

Actual iOS app screens. All people and conversations shown are fictional

Privacy

The server delivers. It does not peek

Messages are encrypted on device before they are sent
Photos and files are encrypted before upload

Mission

Your people, close — wherever they are

I’m building Comin on my own. I want you to be able to talk with the people who matter, wherever they are — next door or on the other side of the world. No phone number, and no one reading along

Comin has no investors and no ads, so it runs on support from people who care about it. You can support the project right in the app — with a Comin Flame subscription or the early access pack: that’s what keeps the servers running and the work going
