Show HN: TalkMate – Someone to Talk To, Anytime

https://talkmate.online
1•digi_wares•1h ago
I work alone. I travel constantly:- Bangkok, Dubai, Singapore, Vietnam. I'm a workaholic and honestly pretty confined to myself because there's never enough time. Sometimes I just want to talk through what's on my mind but it's 3 am, or I'm in a new city, or I don't want to bother anyone with half-formed thoughts.

So I built TalkMate. It's a voice companion that actually talks back. Open it in your browser, start speaking, and it responds out loud. No signup, no account needed.

I used to earlier chat with ChatGPT and Claude in my free time but talking to someone feels different, someone on the other side is listening to you, though virtual but lets forget that for now that there's some virtual someone and imagine that its someone real who is talking to you.

For this reason, I built TalkMate. t's a voice companion that actually talks back. Open it in your browser, start speaking, and it responds out loud. No signup, no account needed.

It supports 17 languages, doesn't save your conversations by default (privacy first), and runs on a simple credit system instead of yet another $20/mo subscription. You get 20 free messages a week to try it. I also built a pro version in case someone needs longer chat durations.

If you have tried it, please spare a moment to tell me what you think about the voice UX - is the flow natural? Does the "thinking companion" angle make sense or is it too soft? I've been using it myself for over a week now before taking the site live.

thank you for your time!
