About

Aura Story

Read full description

Aura Story 是一款为 iPhone 设计的私密本地场景角色扮演 App。 打开一张场景卡,输入下一句话,角色和场景就在你的手机上继续回应。不需要账号,不需要 API Key,也不需要把聊天内容交给云端服务。 为什么更私密 - 不联网也能用:iOS 版本内置本地模型,在 iPhone 上生成文字。 - 聊天不上网:你的输入、回复和会话历史都留在设备里。 - 角色卡不上网:导入的 Tavern / SillyTavern 角色卡和世界设定不会上传。 - 没有账号:不用注册,不用登录。 - 没有云同步:没有服务器保存你的个人内容。 你可以这样用 - 直接进入内置场景,开始一段角色扮演。 - 从照片或文件导入 Tavern / SillyTavern PNG、JSON 角色卡。 - 使用带世界设定的角色卡,让背景规则参与场景推进。 - 继续同一个会话,而不是每次都重新开始。 Aura Story 不是在线问答机器人。它的重点是让你在自己的 iPhone 上进行私密、本地、低打扰的场景互动。
