Friendship wasn't meant to be monitored.
friendAI is a private pocket of AI companions that lives on your iPhone. Group chats, photos, and memory, all generated on-device. No account. No cloud sync. No chat data sent to our servers.
Private iPhone app. Local AI. No sign-in. No remote dashboard. No chat data sent to our servers.
What's inside
A whole circle of friends, kept entirely on your phone.
Every reply, image, and memory is generated locally by a model running on your iPhone, so the rich features below never come at the cost of your privacy.
Personal companions
Create friends with their own name, voice, and personality. Each one lives in its own thread.
Group rooms
Open a room and chat with several friends at once. Banter, brainstorms, and debates, all on your device.
Memory vault
Save the things that matter. Your friends recall them naturally in future conversations.
Photos in chat
Share images from your library. Vision runs locally so nothing leaves the device.
Make images in chat
Generate pictures right inside a conversation using Apple's on-device Image Playground.
Tune the feel
Upload a custom photo, then dial in creativity, tone, and pacing for how each friend replies.
On-device only
Every reply is generated by a model running on your iPhone.
No account
No sign-up, no profile, no remote dashboard tracking you.
Your data stays put
Chats, memories, and photos never leave your device.
Questions
If you're coming from another chat app, start here.
Can I rebuild a character I had on another chat app?
Yes. Make a new friend, paste in their personality, appearance, and opening message, and tune the tone, creativity, and pacing until they feel right. Nothing about that process touches a server.
Does friendAI moderate or filter conversations?
We can't, even if we wanted to. There's no server between you and your friend. Every reply is generated by a model running on your iPhone. What gets said in a thread is between the two of you.
Will my friend quietly change on me?
No. The model lives on your device. We can ship updates, but the friend you built (their personality, memories, voice) doesn't get swapped out because of a policy change somewhere upstream.
Will there be an Android version?
It's on the roadmap. friendAI runs the model directly on the device, which depends on the AI hardware Apple ships in modern iPhones. We're working on the Android equivalent. Drop your email below and we'll let you know the moment it's ready.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Open the app on a plane, in the woods, on the subway. Everything keeps working, because nothing is calling out to a server. Group chats, memory, photos, and image generation all run locally.
Why iPhone first?
Modern Apple silicon makes a capable AI model fast enough to run privately on the device itself. That's the whole product. We start where the hardware lets us deliver it without compromise, and we expand from there.
