First Message FREE

Send It. Anonymously.
Watch Them React.

That message you've been dying to send? Send it via text or email—they'll never know it's you.

How It Works

Three simple steps. Complete anonymity. Real reactions.

STEP 1

Write & Send Your Message

Choose text or email. Type your message. Hit send. We deliver it from a random number or address— your identity stays hidden.

STEP 2

They Reply—You Get Notified

When they text or email back, their response goes to your private inbox on Bad News. You'll get a notification the moment they reply.

STEP 3

Read Their Reaction

Open your notifications and read exactly what they said—confused, angry, laughing, whatever. They have no idea who sent it. You know everything.
