Chat, call, post, explore the town and stage theater scenes with no connection • Model endpoint: add your own endpoint and it writes their lines • Every feature works in both. Switch the whole page any time in Settings → How they talk; chats and memories carry on as they are • Voice is chosen on its own; set a reply language per character, with iOS on-device translation Word cards • Try a line, undo, and restore from Recently Deleted; see what a deletion affects first • Teach them: long-press a reply that doesn't sound like them and turn it into a word card Also new • Edit theater storyboards: split beats, reorder, rewrite lines • Cinema comments and mood buttons; in group chats, mention, quote and ask someone to answer • Arrange where and when to meet in town; build a storybook from moments you pick • Two-person actions, furniture uses, holiday sets and work outfits in town • Adapted to every iPhone Duo posture • Bug fixes ### 1.5.4 — 2026-10-31 iPhone Duo support: folded, navigation sits beneath the side system bar; unfolded and in book posture you get two pages with nothing on the fold; in laptop posture content is on top and controls below, and the pixel town turns into a handheld layout. New "replies per turn" setting; characters stop piling on after saying goodnight, and remember a conversation had wrapped up when they reach out later. Start over with a character from their profile: keeps the card, clears chats and memories. Servers on your own computer or local network can be used without an access credential. Fixes adapting Traditional Chinese cards, imported backups losing content, and some local servers failing to reply. Live together: arrange it from town, a character's profile, the couple space, or right in chat. Afterwards they live at your place, sleep there at night, help on the farm when home, and cook and eat with you. Town residents remember the same shared life across conversations, update their attitude as things happen, only know what they actually saw, and walk to meet-ups they agree to. The farm pond is bigger, with a bridge across it for fishing. The town adds a library and a record shop linked to Reader and Music, and the minimap can be hidden. Chats no longer keep drifting to the town. In town you can now share pair actions with residents, and appearance editing steps back cleanly. Model settings now take your own API format, address and access credential. Image generation works with more services’ reply formats. Fixes image reading, notification text, home editing and dragging, and group-chat input. You configure your own model service; all data stays on your device. ### 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. ## Apps similar to CanPhone | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [AIToyBridge](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/aitoybridge/id6812974137) | — | Free | Utilities | | [PicLink-Best image Hosting App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/piclink-best-image-hosting-app/id1572251464) | 5.0 (1) | $1.99 | Utilities | | [Whispr 本地对话阅读器](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whispr/id6756994315) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Utilities | | [中文汉化插件 for Notion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/for-notion/id6499201416) | 5.0 (1) | $3.99 | Utilities | | [MarkMemo-个人记忆管理](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/markmemo/id6757456958) | — | Free | Utilities | | [oMeoo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/omeoo/id6472629160) | — | Free | Utilities | ## More apps by Hubei Qiyu Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd - [CanTree](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cantree/id6785307946) All apps by Hubei Qiyu Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd: https://appshunter.io/developer/6785307948 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
