What Tellonym is

Tellonym is an anonymous messaging app where people send you anonymous messages called Tells. If you answer one, the Tell and your answer appear on your public profile. You can restrict Tells to registered users, filter words and block senders.

Why people look for a Tellonym alternative

01

One side stays hidden

The sender is anonymous, you are not. Parents' guides describe how that imbalance can make room for unkind messages.

02

Answers become public

Every reply you post shows up on your profile, so a private moment becomes something your followers can read.

03

Age guidance is mixed

Store ratings and safety guides list different minimum ages, and one school review reports few restrictions for users who say they are young.

The best Tellonym alternatives

  1. 1

    HushNo camera, no photos

    Hush suits people who liked the honesty on Tellonym but not the lopsidedness of it. On Hush nobody is the public one. You both meet as auras, you both pick the vibe, and what you say stays in the conversation instead of on a profile for everyone you know.

  2. 2

    NGL

    Anonymous questions through a link in your Instagram Story, now limited to adults.

  3. 3

    Slowly

    Private, slow letters with a pen pal who only knows your avatar.

When Tellonym is still the better pick

Stay on Tellonym if you enjoy collecting anonymous questions from people in your circle and answering them publicly. That is a social, audience-based game that Hush does not try to be.

Questions people ask

People send you anonymous messages called Tells. If you answer, the question and your answer appear on your public profile.

On Hush, both sides are an aura, a color and a name. Nobody has a public profile or a photo, and the conversation stays between the two of you.

Report and block take one tap, with no explanation required. Flagged content is reviewed by a human within minutes.
