Reviews & lists
Related on the desk
Backyard AI
Local/cloud character chat with lorebooks, author notes, and dynamic voices. A free 300-cloud-messages-per-week allowance exists, but new paid subscriptions and upgrades are currently unavailable.
CrushOn AI
Unfiltered character chat with a very large community library, persistent character memory, and a free tier with unlimited access to designated free models. One of two apps on this desk with a tracked link.
DreamGen
Structured, multi-character roleplay and writing: world definitions, plot direction, and scenario control. More writing desk than phone companion — the public scenario library is SFW-only, with mature themes reserved for private scenarios.
Janitor AI
Character chat with unlimited free standard-model chat (~9k context), a paid Janitor+ upgrade for more context and priority access, and official iOS and Android apps.
SillyTavern
Local-first LLM roleplay frontend for power users: total control over prompts, samplers, V2 character cards and lorebooks, plus any backend (local vLLM/Kobold/Oobabooga or OpenRouter/DeepSeek). Zero platform censorship because there is no platform server.
SpicyChat
Character roleplay with a huge community library, a genuinely testable free tier (avatar generation included), tiered context, Semantic Memory 2.0, and paid TTS at the top tier.
