Castmates: AI Characters

Castmates runs its AI right on your iPhone — private, offline, no account. Now with an editable profile and a daily scene picked for your taste. Start free.

Castmates is a private, on-device AI app for interactive character stories, running entirely on your iPhone. Most AI apps send every word you type to the cloud and make you sign in. Castmates doesn't — the model lives on your device, so your conversations are never sent to a server, there's no account, and it even works offline.

Meet a cast of 32 characters who actually stay in role. They don't reply like a chatbot — they narrate the scene, act, and remember what happened last time, so the story keeps building each time you come back.

A CAST FOR EVERY MOOD Meet 32 hand-crafted characters across 8 genres: • Companions — a loyal best friend, a warm life coach, a hype-man trainer • Romance — slow-burn crushes and devoted partners • Fantasy — elven rangers, dark knights, fae sorceresses, gentle orcs • Sci-Fi — sardonic ship AIs, starship captains, curious aliens • Anime — tsundere rivals, shy schoolmates, bubbly childhood friends • Historical — Regency nobles, samurai, Renaissance inventors, jazz-age icons • Mystery & Horror — noir detectives, vampire countesses, eerie keepers • Adventure — pirates, treasure hunters, wasteland survivors

DROP INTO A SCENE Every character comes with ready-made scenarios — 96 in all — so you can jump straight into a story, or set your own opening scene and tone.

BUILD YOUR OWN Create custom characters end to end: name, persona, greeting, appearance, tone, and a signature opening scene. Set their avatar from your photo library. They'll act exactly the way you wrote them.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN — ON-DEVICE AI The whole AI runs locally on your iPhone. After a one-time model download: • Your conversations are generated and stored on-device — never sent to a server • No account, no sign-up, no profile • Nothing is logged on our servers or used to train models • It keeps working in airplane mode — on a flight, on the subway, off the grid

THEY REMEMBER YOU Castmates summarizes past sessions, so characters recall who you are and pick up the thread days or weeks later.
