Chativon is a story app where AI characters remember you. Pick a character — a detective, a mage, a barista with a secret — and start talking. Every reply is written in the moment, in the character's own voice, and the story goes wherever you take it. CHARACTERS WHO REMEMBER Characters keep memory cards about what matters to you: your name, your plans, the moments you've shared. See every memory, edit it, pin the important ones, or delete what you'd rather they forget. STORY MODES • Roleplay — natural, in-character conversation • Story Maker — vivid narrated scenes, told in the present tense • Game — playful challenges and choices GROUP SCENES Bring up to four characters together in a Place — a café, a castle, a starship — and watch them talk to each other and to you. TALK OUT LOUD Call a character and talk hands-free with live captions, or listen to any reply read aloud. CREATE YOUR OWN Describe an idea and Chativon drafts the personality, the first message and an illustrated avatar. Keep characters private or share them with the community. MADE FOR iPHONE Siri Shortcuts ("Chat with Mira in Chativon"), Spotlight search, gentle check-ins from your characters, and a fast native app. SAFE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Every character is an AI • Report or block any character in two taps • Your chats are stored on your device; export or delete them anytime • No ads in your conversations CHATIVON PRO Pro adds unlimited messages, voice calls, unlimited memories and every story mode. Payment is charged to your Apple ID.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ruby Chat holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 126 and 361 respectively.
