What's New in Layla

7.0.4

July 15, 2026

Layla 7.0 adds the Layla SDK and user-made mini-apps, rebuilds long-term memory around a new on-device pipeline, and brings a new set of voices. This release also includes every fix from 7.0.1 through 7.0.4. NEW - Layla SDK: build your own mini-apps as a single HTML file, a zip folder, or a self-hosted site. Mini-apps can use the LLM, characters, image generation, agents, memory and voice. - Browse Apps: install mini-apps made by other users, upload your own to Layla Cloud, manage versions in the Mini-Apps Manager, and share mini-app links. - Agent skill for Codex, Claude Code and OpenCode, plus a mini-app template for larger projects. - Real-time long-term memory, processed as you chat rather than ingested overnight in the background. - New default memory pipeline using a custom-trained model that builds summaries and knowledge graphs together. - Temporal knowledge graphs, with a full-screen view. - Dream rebuilt as a downloadable mini-app, with evolving character impressions, self-reflection and smarter conversation continuation. - Kokoro v1.0 voices, including multilingual options. - File Manager can import arbitrary files, including assets and draft models, and now shows image previews. - Expanded SDK APIs: chat sessions and history, sentiment detection, file save and read, image-to-image, TTS voice listing and generation, message scheduling, persona lookup, top-memory recall, and getting or setting inference engines. IMPROVED - Deleting or regenerating a message now updates or removes the memory it created. - Memory recall skips the most recent same-session memories to avoid feedback loops. - A mini-app can replace the default memory processor through the SDK. - SDK chat responses return reasoning and message content in separate fields. - Faster character selection in very large libraries. - Faster Browse Apps loading, with mini-app icons cached for offline use. - Better handling of large mini-apps that bundle image and audio into their HTML. - File Manager shows total folder size and is faster and more stable with many files. - Backups now include character folders and sorting. - Reference documents and agents are easier to select during character creation. - Sentiment detection aggregates across sentences and normalises pronouns. - Importing a mini-app that already exists asks for confirmation and overwrites it instead of blocking. - Benchmark mini-app redesigned to match the current visual style. FIXED - Long-term memory generation getting stuck while building knowledge graphs. - Knowledge graphs opening to a blank page. - Long-term memory recording messages for characters with LTM turned off. - Removing long-term memory with the References mini-app installed failing with an unknown error. - Scheduled future messages appearing on the chat history page. - Dreams skipping scheduling when using cloud models. - Image-to-image not applying the prompt prefix. - Image generation starting while the model was still reasoning about the image prompt. - Mini-app image generation reading default settings instead of saved settings. - Custom sampler presets not saving additional llama.cpp arguments. - Speak Responses reporting that TTS was not initialised. - Layla Cloud voices not stopping when requested, and the SDK stop-speaking call doing nothing. - PocketTTS not working through the SDK. - Voice chat minimising text with the setting turned off. - Mini-apps sending a system prompt Layla did not use. - Chat history appearing when swiping left in a mini-app. - Importing a Roleplay from a RoleplayPNG not saving its characters. - Roleplay not loading long conversation histories properly. - Auto-translated messages not showing. - Prompts being processed again unnecessarily. - A crash when loading a very large conversation history. Layla runs on your device: no account, no subscription, no data leaving the phone.

Unusable

⭐️ 1/5 – Update Broke Character Interactions
"The latest update broke character card functionality. When attempting immersive role-play, the AI now rejects interactions the cards were designed for. No warning, no rollback option—just a core feature that no longer works. For an app centered on character-driven conversations, this is a major failure. Fix it ASAP

Great App

I am very satisfied about this beautiful app, it is very friendly and the writer is the best. I like characters. This is the app which I was looking for. But first when I have installed the app it starts downloading all necessary files, now I need to find what to download after reinstalling? This is very strange, because previously it downloaded all files simultaneously. Now I should download manually. Otherwise is good. I hope it will improve.

Bad

This use to be good but do not recommend with most recent updates and features added. Need to put tighter controls in place that work.

Stable diffusion

Es wäre sehr schön wenn es auf dem iPhone 17 p Max mehr stable diffusion Modelle geben würde, wie bei Andoid

Warning: iOS cannot import external models

I am giving 2 stars because | purchased this app specifically to run my own custom
Stable Diffusion models locally, but this feature is missing on the iOS version. I have not tested the text (LLM) features as they are not relevant to my use case.
Be aware: While there is a preset list of models you can download within the app, you cannot import your own safetensors or.ckpt files from your device storage, unlike on Android. If your goal is to load specific external image models, please know that this is currently impossible on iPhone.
