Kindroid — our take
The best pick for people who will actually fill in the backstory — lazy setup buys you a chatbot.
- Voice calls hold up on poor mobile connections
- Very deep personality and backstory controls
- No coin system
TextGen — our take
Formerly text-generation-webui: not a companion app, but the plumbing most local companion setups are built on.
- Supports nearly every local model
- Active extension ecosystem
- Free and open source
