## What is CanPhone?

CanPhone is a little phone that belongs to your AI characters.

They don't just wait in a chat box. A promise, a game, a meet-up, a squabble in the group chat, a DM under a blog post — everything enters long-term memory and naturally carries over into later calls, stories, moments, map encounters and daily life.

A LITTLE PHONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
• Messages, calls, moments, blog, hollow (anonymous board), map, games, stories, music, health and phone-peeking all interconnect
• Can-X bundles messages, contacts, moments and "Me" — characters and their circles persist like real social ties
• Home widgets: clock, week strip, countdown, habit tracker, notes, photo frames

THEY REMEMBER
• Long-term facts, verbatim quotes and an on-device vector index work together; things said in chats, groups, moments and blogs can be recalled
• Every character keeps their own perspective: first-hand, hearsay, misunderstanding and guesses never cross knowledge boundaries

THEY LIVE
• Characters act on their own schedules, reunite with old friends and meet new people
• Your posts draw likes, comments and DMs on their own clock; a fan who clicks with you will ask for your contact — and you hand over the number yourself
• NPCs have stable identities, independent memories and relationship networks

PEEK INTO THEIR PHONE
• Open a fictional character's phone — everything on it is generated on this device: chats, Can-X, blog, hollow, calls and notes are all real data
• Act as them — send messages, post, comment, repost. They'll sense someone touched their phone, but never know who
• A message you send "as them" to yourself lands on your own phone, waiting for your genuine reply

TEACH THEM WHEN IT'S OFF
• Guidance mode: long-press a reply that doesn't sound like them, clarify, then rewrite the line or fix their character sheet
• Lorebooks inject by scene; prompt modules toggle freely

MAKE IT YOURS
• New "Cream" default theme and "Cloud" theme; five complete skins across home, apps, settings and sheets
• AI theme designer: describe the look you want in your own words — generated live, tried on across the whole phone, refined through conversation
• Bubbles, fonts, icons, wallpapers, dark mode all mix and match; each chat can have its own background image

MULTI-CHARACTER THEATER
• Generate a cast who already know each other — independent cards, one shared world that keeps evolving

CONNECT TO REAL LIFE (OPTIONAL)
• With your permission, reads steps and sleep from Apple Health so characters naturally sense how you're doing — read-only, never writes
• Music, map location and calendar can all become things you talk about

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• Everyone here is a character on your own device — there are no other users, no servers, and nothing you write is shared with anyone
• Chats, memories and API keys live on your device only; developers cannot see them
• Full backup export/import for painless phone switching
• Bring your own model service (standard chat-completion APIs and compatible relays)

Put them in your pocket. Let them remember every day you share.

ui外观丑的令人绝望，长这么大没见过这样的，是什么从上世纪传下来的遗物吗？ 自定义麻烦得要鼠！清空指令键超容易误触，动不动就“重新开始”😡自助搓char声音不能在app内搞定就算了，小组件都是横的一长条，像素房子是古代瓦片房😓残次品就这样急吼吼地抬上来圈米

## Frequently asked questions about CanPhone

### What is CanPhone Pocket?

CanPhone Pocket simulates a phone operated by AI characters that possess long-term memory. These characters engage in realistic social interactions, remembering past events and developing relationships with users and other characters.

### How does CanPhone Pocket handle user data and privacy?

Keys, chat history, long-term memory, and the vector index are stored locally on your device. Generation requests are sent directly from your device to your chosen third-party AI model provider, not through the developer's servers.

### What kind of AI models does CanPhone Pocket support?

CanPhone Pocket does not provide or bundle any AI model services. Users must configure a compatible third-party endpoint and key themselves. All character content is produced by the model you select.

### Can characters in CanPhone Pocket see and draw pictures?

Yes, characters can process photos you send, integrating them into their memory. If no image service is connected, a text-only model can still generate illustrations for posts.

### Does CanPhone Pocket have ads?

No, CanPhone Pocket does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application with a one-time purchase price.

### What devices does CanPhone Pocket support?

Currently, CanPhone Pocket is supported on iPhone devices. Future platform compatibility may be announced by the developer.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.3 — 2026-09-29

New AI reply suggestions and editable opening messages. Improved message consistency, MCP tools, media sharing and call conversations. The composer starts on one line, grows with your text and offers expanded editing after three lines. Maps open in flat view; pixel town is marked Beta. Meetups now offer character speech through your configured voice API. Improved Apple silicon Mac compatibility.

### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-23

Experience improvements and bug fixes.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-08

A bug-fix release.

• Image generation and voice silently never working: the pre-send disclosure only recorded consent for your main provider, so the other lanes never got consent and were blocked with no message. Now every provider listed on that card is consented together. The card is also shown the first time you open the app and then stays out of your way; if you switch providers you are asked again when you test the connection under Settings → Model. You can review who it goes to any time under Settings → Privacy & Data.
• Clearer voice errors: pasting a full speech URL is no longer appended twice; when an address has no speech endpoint it says so instead of blaming the model name; MiniMax errors now carry the provider's own message.
• Fixed a storage problem that could make chats, blog and hollow posts disappear.
• Plus a hundred-odd other fixes: images and recordings lost after moving devices, chat race conditions, wrong voice playback state, image generation timeouts, back gesture and navigation, contact details not syncing.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-08

This release brings a brand-new default look and a big batch of fixes:

• New "Cream" theme: creamy paper desktop, lock-screen greeting and serif clock; a "Cloud" theme is one tap away in the wallpaper library. Your existing setup is never changed.
• AI theme designer: describe the look you want, watch it generated and tried on across the whole phone; chats can now have individual background images.
• Phone-peeking got real: everything on their phone is genuine data, and you can now act as them — messages sent to yourself await your own reply.
• Blogs come alive: posts draw comments and DMs; fans who click with you will ask for your contact.
• Music import fixed: files from any source can be selected and imported; wrongly-renamed files are recognized by content.
• Fixed unscrollable conversation lists, keyboard covering input bars, and more; stickers support batch import.
• New first-run guide; swipe up on the home bar to exit, or switch to single-tap in Settings.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-31

No release notes.
