Leaving Janitor AI?
Keep your characters and your key.

Most people who search for a Janitor AI alternative want one of four things: a phone app that isn't stuck in safe mode, a proxy that stops breaking, characters they can actually keep, or a bigger free catalog. Each of those has a different best answer. We build Foreverse, so weigh our view accordingly — where another option fits you better, this page says so.

Match the reason

Which Janitor AI alternative fits why you're leaving?

Short answer: SpicyChat for a free catalog with adult content allowed, Chub for downloadable cards, SillyTavern for full control on a PC or server, and a card-compatible phone app — Foreverse on Android and iPhone, or Tavo — if you want your own key and your chats on your device.

The phone problem

Why does the Janitor AI app feel restricted?

JanitorAI's official mobile app opens in a restricted safe mode, and the switch that lifts it lives in the website's settings, not in the app. Many people searching for an Android alternative are really hitting that. If you want to stay, our walkthrough of the restricted mode shows where the toggle is. If you want a phone app where the only content policy is the one of the model provider you picked, that is how Foreverse works: the app does not add a filter of its own, and each provider draws its own line — see how providers differ on roleplay content.

Proxy and keys

Can I use my own proxy or API key outside Janitor AI?

Yes. The proxy you paste into JanitorAI is usually an OpenAI-compatible endpoint plus a key, and Foreverse accepts exactly that, alongside 60+ preset providers such as DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Anthropic and Google. Keys are encrypted on your phone and requests go directly to the endpoint, with no markup from us. Before switching because a proxy keeps failing, it is worth ten minutes with our proxy troubleshooting guide — the cause is often the endpoint path or the model name, and the fix carries over to any app.

Moving characters

How do I move my Janitor AI characters to another app?

For public characters, paste the character link into Foreverse's card import; it is fetched and converted to a standard chara_card file (how URL import works). When the fetch is blocked by JanitorAI's bot protection, copy the personality text into the JanitorAI ⇄ character card converter, which runs in your browser and gives you a PNG or JSON card that SillyTavern, Chub and Foreverse all read. Private bots and chat history have no official export.

FAQ

Janitor AI alternatives: common questions

For the wider field, see the AI roleplay app roundup, Character.AI alternatives, and Foreverse vs Janitor AI in detail.

Is there a better app than Janitor AI?

Better depends on why you're leaving. If you want a large free community with adult content allowed and no setup, SpicyChat is the closest swap. If you want characters as files you can download and keep, Chub is the strongest exporter. If you want your own API key or proxy, your chats on your device, and a native phone app, a card-compatible client like Foreverse (Android and iPhone) or Tavo fits. If you want full desktop control and don't mind hosting a server, SillyTavern is still the reference.

Is there a Janitor AI alternative for Android?

Yes. SpicyChat and Chub work in a mobile browser. For a native Android app that reads JanitorAI and Chub characters, Foreverse imports a pasted character link or a chara_card PNG/JSON file and runs it with the model you connect. SillyTavern can also run on Android through Termux, at the cost of keeping a server process alive.

Can I keep using my proxy or my own API key?

In Foreverse, yes: add a key for any of 60+ preset providers (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and others), or point it at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — the same kind of address you'd paste into JanitorAI's proxy settings. Keys are encrypted on the device and requests go straight to that endpoint. If your proxy keeps failing inside JanitorAI, our troubleshooting guide covers the usual causes before you switch anything.

Can I bring my Janitor AI characters with me?

Public characters, mostly yes. Paste a JanitorAI character link into Foreverse's card import and it is fetched and converted; if JanitorAI's bot protection blocks the fetch from your network, copy the personality text into our free browser converter, which outputs a standard chara_card JSON or PNG. Private bots and your chat history stay on JanitorAI — there is no official export for those as of October 2026.

Is it free?

The Foreverse app is free with no message caps. Model usage is either your own key at the provider's list price, or the official channel, where sign-up grants 5,000 credits (1 credit = $0.0001) and you top up as you go. No subscription either way.

Who should not switch to Foreverse?

Anyone who mainly enjoys JanitorAI's catalog and community — browsing thousands of new bots and comments every day. Foreverse has no comparable public feed; you bring cards in from community sites. It also costs about ten minutes of setup (a key or the official channel) that JanitorAI's free house model does not ask for.

Your characters, your key

Try your favorite character on your phone.

Paste a character link, add a key or use the official channel, and see whether it plays the way you remember. If it doesn't fit, the card file is yours to take anywhere.
