the boring cockroach

last updated: 25 may 2026

· before you read

this app was built in one week by one person who liked the word "cockroach". it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to the cockroach janta party or any political organization. we do not sell your data. ever.

· what this app is

a quiet, anonymous place for people in india to drop short emotional pulses, react to others, and meet up nightly at 9pm for roll call. no followers. no DMs. no upvotes. no algorithm pushing you to engage. it is intentionally boring.

· what we expect from you

• be 18 or older.
• be the only person using your google account on the app.
• don't post slurs, sexual content, threats, doxxing, phone numbers, aadhaar, or anything illegal in india. server-side filters block the common cases — moderators handle the rest.
• don't pretend to be someone else.
• don't try to game the heatmap, the streaks, or the rate limits.
• don't scrape, automate, or run scripts against the api.

· what we may do

• hide your post if it gets reported by multiple users or trips a server filter.
• ban your account for repeated violations — temporarily or permanently — at the moderator's discretion.
• change features, rate limits, or this document. if something material changes, the in-app banner will tell you.
• shut down the service. it's an experiment. if it stops being useful or starts costing more than it returns, we may close it.

· your content

you own what you write. by posting, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it inside the app to other signed-in users — that's the whole point of the app. we won't republish your content elsewhere. when you delete your account or an individual post, that license ends immediately.

· deletion

you can delete your account at any time from settings. it's a hard delete: your identity, every pulse, every reply, every reaction, and your sign-in are erased in one server call. no backups are kept. full details on the privacy page.

· no warranty

this is an experimental side project. it may break, lose data, or misbehave. we provide it "as is", with no guarantee that it will be available, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. if it stops working at 3 am, we will fix it when we can.

· liability

to the extent allowed by indian law, the operator is not liable for any indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the app. you use it because you want to.

· governing law

these terms are governed by the laws of india. any disputes are subject to the courts of hyderabad, telangana.
