Apps like Monkey

Monkey took the spirit of Chatroulette and put it on a phone. It worked because video chat on mobile is genuinely fun and because it leaned into Gen Z. It also drew attention from regulators because the user base skewed young. OMGHey is the same idea — fast one-on-one mobile video chat with strangers — built strictly for adults.

What Monkey users like

• Phone-first video calls in seconds.
• The same novelty Chatroulette had, in your pocket.
• Short calls, easy skips.

Why OMGHey is a better fit if you're 18+

• Age-verified. Everyone on OMGHey is 18+.
• Local matching. You meet people in your city, not random global strangers.
• Scheduled live nights. Sunday for video, Wednesday for text, both at 9 PM local.
• Match to keep talking. A mutual match moves the conversation into a real thread.

Monkey vs OMGHey

• Monkey: always-on, teen-leaning, anonymous-ish, global.
• OMGHey: scheduled live windows, 18+, verified, local.

If Monkey-style random video chat is what you want and you're an adult, OMGHey is the version that's actually built for you.
