An AI girlfriend app for iPhone and Android, without the app store

Is there a Nodera app in the App Store or Google Play?

No. Nodera is a web app, so there is nothing to find in either store. You open app.nodera.ai in your phone's browser, sign in, and a one minute setup puts it on your home screen.

Opened from there, it runs in its own window without the address bar, under the Nodera icon. Chrome lists it as an installable app.

How do I add Nodera to my iPhone home screen?

In Safari, in about a minute. These steps follow Apple's own guide for iOS 26 and 27.

1. 1

   Open Safari

   Go to app.nodera.ai.

2. 2

   Open the Share menu

   Tap the three dots next to the address bar, then Share. With the tab bar at the top or bottom, tap the Share button instead.

3. 3

   Tap Add to Home Screen

   Scroll down to find it. If it is missing, tap Edit Actions and add it.

4. 4

   Keep Open as Web App on, then tap Add

   That switch makes Nodera open without Safari's address bar. You can rename the icon here too.

5. 5

   Sign in inside the new app

   The home screen app keeps its own sign in, apart from Safari, so sign in once more. A password is easiest here: an emailed sign in link opens in Safari, not in the app.

How do I install Nodera on an Android phone?

In Chrome. Chrome treats Nodera as an installable web app, so it gets an icon in your app list and opens in its own window.

1. 1

   Open Chrome

   Go to app.nodera.ai and sign in.

2. 2

   Open the menu

   Tap the three dots to the right of the address bar.

3. 3

   Tap Install and create shortcut, then Install

   Older versions of Chrome call it Install app or Add to Home screen.

To remove it, go to Settings, then Apps, tap Nodera and tap Uninstall. Your account and chats stay.

What can I do in Nodera on my phone?

Everything the app does:

• Chat one to one with 800+ characters or your own, from slow burn romance to roleplay.
• Pictures of a chat moment in 73 art styles, and 5 second clips.
• Her voice: tap a reply to hear it in one of 22 voices.
• Live scenes: step into a character's animated scene, which changes through the day.
• Rooms: group chats with up to 2 characters and 6 people.
• Audio stories written around you, 5 or 10 minutes long.
• Your own character, made with the guided creator.

Your chats follow you. Chat history, memories and relationship levels sync by default, so a chat you start on your phone is there on your laptop. More in AI girlfriend memory.

Is a web app more private than a store app?

In a few small ways, yes:

• Nothing on your store account. You never download Nodera from a store, and payments are off during the beta, so there is no Nodera purchase or subscription there.
• A name you choose. On iPhone you can rename the icon, or skip it and use a browser tab.
• No camera, microphone or location. Nodera tells your browser to block all three, and there are no photo uploads.
• Private chats. Other people never see your one to one chats, and you can delete a chat, your cloud history or your account in the app.

What does not change: your chats are stored on Nodera's servers so they can sync, as with any companion app. The safety page explains what is stored and how to delete it.

Is the Nodera app free?

Free during the beta. Every account gets 500 free credits a day, about 100 messages, with no card and no paid plan. New accounts also get 400 welcome credits once, and you can try 5 safe for work messages without an account. What the credits buy is in free AI girlfriend.

Is Nodera for adults only?

Yes. Adults only, 18 and over. Age is confirmed by your own declaration when you first open the app. Once you confirm you are 18 or older, romance and mature roleplay with adult characters marked 18+ are allowed, within our safety rules. The 18+ content setting comes on when you confirm, and you can turn it off in Settings.

Some things are never allowed for anyone. What 18+ allows, and never allows lists them, and safety covers privacy and reporting.

How does Nodera compare with companion apps in the stores?

Replika, Character.AI and Talkie all have store apps, and each does things Nodera does not. They differ most on adult content: Character.AI and Talkie prohibit it, Replika keeps romance behind Pro, and Nodera allows mature roleplay for adults under written rules.

Character.AI is selling assets in a Chapter 11 case. When we last checked, on November 5, 2026, it was still running: see what the sale means.

What are Nodera's limits on a phone?

• No voice calls. You can listen to replies, not talk with her out loud.
• No notifications and no offline use.
• About 100 messages a day on the free credits, with no way to buy more during the beta.
• It is a beta. Features change, and this page says when it was last checked.
• Age is self declared when you first open the app, a lighter check than some store apps use.
