Pick someone to pretend with.
Every one has a backstory, a voice, and opinions about you. They remember what you said yesterday. Browse by category →
How it works
Three steps. Then it's just the two of you.
- 01
Pick a character
Browse a hand-written cast with real backstories: romance leads, fae lords, ship captains, a night-bus driver. New ones arrive regularly.
- 02
Set the scene
A rainy train station. A rival's kitchen at 2am. A haunted apartment with your name on the lease. Drop a line and they run with it.
- 03
They remember
Come back tomorrow and they still know your name, your coffee order, and that thing you said you'd never admit.
Why pretend
Built for people who want a good story, not a slot machine.
Picks up where you left off
Sign in and every chat is saved. Come back tomorrow and the story, and the inside jokes, are still there.
Every character has scenes
Three opening scenes per character, written to start something. Pick one, or just say hi.
Private by default
Your chats are yours. Never used for training, never shown to anyone, deletable in one click.
Fast, no waiting rooms
Replies in a couple of seconds, even on the free tier. No queue, no "servers busy".
Flirty, not filthy
Suggestive and romantic is fine. Explicit isn't. It keeps the app on every store and every card.
Works everywhere
Phone, tablet, laptop. Built for the phone first, nothing to install.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is this NSFW?
Flirty, romantic and suggestive, yes. Explicit, no. That line keeps pretend.chat available on app stores, payment processors and ad platforms, which is what keeps it cheap and alive.
Do I have to be 18 or older?
Yes. The whole site is 18+. We'll ask you to confirm when you sign up.
Are my chats private?
Yes. Chats are never used to train models, never shown to other users, and you can delete any conversation or your whole account at any time.
What AI is behind the characters?
Claude, by Anthropic. Every character is written by us: a backstory, a voice and three scenes to start in. Claude plays them within our house rules: adults only, flirty, not filthy.
Can I create my own characters?
Not yet. Custom characters are on the way. For now, pick from our library: new characters arrive regularly.
Is it free?
Yes. You can try any character without an account, and a free account gets 40 messages a day with every character and keeps your chats saved. Plus ($9.99/month) is coming soon.
They're waiting. Say hi.
Free to start, 40 messages a day, no card needed. Plus is coming for people who stay.
