About the name

Charaid is a portmanteau of "char" (short for character) and "aid" (to help or assist), while also serving as a playful nod to "charade" perfectly capturing the app's trick of concealing real text behind visually identical Unicode characters.

About the Creator

I am just a guy who wanted to make an app that would help prevent me from constantly getting shadowbanned and deboosted on social media sites when I am just trying to be funny. I am a free speech absolutist and can't believe I even need to make something like this. I also have no interest in your data and built this site to be as privacy-respecting as possible.

This website will always remain free to use and free from ads but if you feel like throwing me a couple bucks to help pay for hosting I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
