DreamChat is a virtual companion chat app for custom characters. Create your own characters, choose how they address you, define their tone, prepare message phrases, schedule messages, and add stickers to bring your characters closer to everyday life. Whether you want to record imagined stories, interact with original characters, enjoy self-insert character conversations, or simply keep a quiet space for private chats, DreamChat lets you build that space at your own pace. 【Main Features】 ・Custom Character Chats Create character profiles, icons, and conversation styles to build your own virtual chat companions. ・Message Phrases Set frequently used lines, situational replies, and trigger conditions to keep each character’s conversations consistent with their personality. ・Scheduled Messages Let characters send messages at specific times, such as morning greetings, goodnight notes, reminders, caring check-ins, or small moments of presence throughout the day. ・Stickers Create sticker sets for your characters so conversations can include expressions, reactions, and emotions beyond text. ・Group Chats Bring multiple characters into the same chatroom and create richer interaction scenarios. ※ This feature requires a subscription to the Multi Dream Lite or Dream Walker plan. ・Music Companion Use the floating music player in the chatroom to play music from your library and add atmosphere to your conversations. ※ The music player itself is free to use.

With each detail you add, opening a chatroom can feel more like returning to a small piece of daily life that belongs only to you. 【Subscription Plan Information】 DreamChat can be used for free with basic features.
