How do I tell the character who I am?
Tap "Your role" under the character's name in a chat. Add your name, your pronouns and a few lines about you, and the character draws on them from your next message. You can also save personas on your Profile — your default one fills in on every new chat. The character aims to use what you share, though it won't pick up every detail every time.
Can anyone else see my chats?
No. Your chats are private to you. The people who make characters can't see your conversations with them. Only you can export or delete them.
Why are replies long or short, and how do I change it?
Replies aim to match your pace: a quick line gets a quick reply, a longer message gets more story. To set a fixed length, tap "Reply style" under the character's name in a chat and choose Short, Balanced or Long. Your choice is saved for all your chats, and the character treats it as a guide rather than a strict rule.
Does the character remember things?
Tap "Memory" under the character's name in a chat to see your story notes, the messages you've saved with "Pin to memory", and your account's current allowance. You can edit your notes there, and pin a message you want to keep in the story. Notes and pins help the character keep continuity, but recall isn't perfect — and if you save more pins than your allowance covers, the extra ones stay saved without being sent with replies.
What's a Boost?
A Boost reruns one reply on our smartest model for a richer answer. You get 1 a day for free, or 100 a month with RiftPass.
What are voice, Snapshots and Aura?
Voice: tap play on a reply to hear it read aloud, with 1 free a day. Snapshots: a picture of the current scene, for 20 Aura. Aura comes from daily check-ins and the shop.
Can I bring my characters and chats from another app?
Yes. You can import character cards from TavernAI, SillyTavern or Chub, bring a chat over from another app and keep going, and import lorebooks too.
How do I make a character?
Tap Create. Describe them in one sentence and tap Draft it, or fill in the form yourself. Choose Community to share them with everyone, or Personal to keep them to yourself.

Is Rift for adults?
Yes, Rift is for people 18 and over only. Mature themes are allowed, and explicit moments fade to black. No minors and no real people.
