I built Ryokan, a free and open source AI roleplay app for Android and Windows

Wait 5 sec.

Hey everyone! I've been working on Ryokan for a while now, and version 0.7 is finally out! It's a free and open source AI roleplay app for Android and Windows, built to be easy to use without sacrificing customization. Some of the features: * Encrypted multiplayer: Invite friends through a browser link. No installation, account or API key needed for guests. * Playable roles: Create different roles for a story and bundle them directly into character cards. * Local and cloud AI: Use LM Studio, Ollama, OpenRouter, Gemini, Anthropic and more. * Character snapshots: Edit characters within individual chats without affecting other conversations. * Smart context management: Automatically summarize older messages, even using a separate model for summaries. * Story branching: Explore different responses and directions without losing your original conversation. * Privacy: Chats are stored locally, with no account or server required for solo play. * Advanced customization: Prompt presets, lorebooks, regex rules and model settings when you need them. I'm developing Ryokan on my own, and multi character group chats are planned for version 0.8. I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially from people using local models!
