Group texting for your street, your bus, your family, your carpool

Hey Neighbor is free group chat, by text, for the groups you already live in — your street, your family, the school bus, the carpool. Every chat is private and moderated by someone in it, and phone numbers are never public.

Any street, family, bus route, or carpool that doesn't have a chat yet. Chats already running are invite-only — their moderator sends the invitations.

We open groups one at a time — add yours and we'll let you know when it's ready.

What protects you

  • Invite-only

    Someone who knows you vouches for you.

  • Your number stays private

    Never shown to members, moderators, or sponsors.

  • Run by one of you

    Someone in the group — never staff.

  • Leave with one word

    Reply MUTE to pause, STOP to end.

Someone has to start each chat — it's lighter than it sounds.
