Candy AI
Multimedia companion product: text, generated images/video, and voice in one app. Free browsing previews exist, but paid media runs through a monthly token allowance.
CHAI
Established mobile-app platform for AI conversation with a free download and in-app subscriptions. Fictional adult-oriented text is allowed under the EULA; explicit image/video generation is not.
Chub AI
A character-card library and roleplay front end that connects to the provider stack you choose — its own Mars models, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, NovelAI, or your own local hardware.
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.
Dreamjourney AI
Story/character platform whose Memory Nexus automatically logs events and relationships instead of making you hand-build lorebooks, plus visual-novel dreamscapes with music and custom writing models that follow OOC instructions.
FictionLab
Multi-character scenarios and world-building rather than single chatbots - an uncensored D&D-host layout with multi-level memory cards, OOC brainstorming commands, no ads, and large in-house models (Oracle, Glendora, Ophelia, 70B+).
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.
Kindroid
Build-your-own companion with Cascaded Memory, voice calls, voice/video calls, selfies, and video avatars. The free tier is gone; everything now runs through subscriptions and metered credits.
Muah AI
Uncensored companion app with chat, image, voice, and phone-call features. The 2024 data breach belongs in the buying decision.
Nomi
Relationship-oriented companion with persistent memory, Mind Maps, and in-chat image generation — built for continuity across text, memories, and images rather than quick sessions.
NovelAI
Storytelling and co-writing platform with a strong lorebook system, image generation, and uncensored text models (Xialong, Krake, Llama 3 Erato). More writing desk than companion — watchlist.
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.
Tipsy Chat
The 'AI Tavern': character roleplay with text, image, and sound, marketed with no boundaries and no ads, a creator community, and an official Discord. The app came in through the reader-research pool, so it keeps the smallest file on this desk until its pricing is verified.
WyvernChat
Unfiltered, unlogged character chat with free rotating 12B-32B models via a Featherless.ai partnership (16k-18k context), Lua-scriptable Lexicon bots, manual bot moderation, and a veteran botmaker community.
