A QR sticker strangers can text. Your number stays private.

HeyTextMe is a QR code sticker people can scan to message you through a private relay, so your phone number is never shown. No app for them. Real messages, real notifications for you.

Get your sticker Works with the camera every phone already has.

How it works

Three steps. Zero numbers exchanged.

1

Stick it somewhere with a story

Your bike, laptop, car window, keys, studio door. Curiosity does the rest.

2

A stranger scans it

They see your card, a name and bio you wrote, and can message instantly. No app, no signup, or fully anonymous as a guest.

3

You chat through the relay

Their message lands in your inbox with a push notification. You reply while they're still standing there.

Use cases

Any object you leave in public is a conversation waiting to start

“Text me if I’m blocking you”

A car sticker that gets you moved-car messages, without taping your phone number to the windshield.

Lost & found, but instant

Keys, laptop, luggage, water bottle. Honest finders message you in ten seconds instead of walking past.

Pet tags without your number engraved

A found dog gets home without broadcasting your phone number to everyone within reading distance.

Say-hi stickers

Helmet, tote, jacket. A scannable opening for people too shy to say hi. You hold every card.

Privacy

The sticker is the invitation. The relay is the product.

Your number is never revealed

Every message routes through HeyTextMe. There is no setting that changes this.

Block in one tap, silently

Blocked people aren’t told; their messages just stop arriving.

Reports go to a human

Every report is stored and reviewed. Not a dead button.

Pause any time

Flip your sticker off; scanners see a calm “taking a breather” screen and nothing gets through.

You hold every switch. Strangers get a name and a bio you wrote. Nothing else, ever.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers

Can people see my phone number when they scan?

No, never. Scanners see only the name and bio you wrote, then a chat. Your number exists solely to notify you.

Does the scanner need an app or account?

No. The QR opens a web page and they can message immediately, with a name they choose, or fully anonymous as a guest.

What if someone is rude or spams me?

Block in one tap (silent), report to a human, or pause the sticker entirely. You hold every switch.

What if someone photographs my QR code?

A photo just gives them another way to message you. Codes can’t be taken over or re-linked, and they never expose your number.

Get your sticker

We’re making a small first batch. Reserve your @name and leave your email. One message when yours is ready, and that’s the only one you’ll get.

Your number stays private. Theirs too.
