About

Ensoul is a local-first AI companion app that stores a companion’s identity, memory, mood, and history as documents on the user’s device. It runs on Android, macOS, the web, and Windows. Users can connect directly to a provider or use one key to access Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and dozens of open models. Memories can be reviewed, corrected, or deleted. Ensoul imports companions from documents, folders, files, character cards, notes, and chat exports, and exports a folder containing identity, history, media, and tools. Listed features include voice, generated images, and group conversations between companions. Its folder tool can read coding-agent session stores from Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and DeepSeek Harness. Desktop and mobile data is stored locally; browser app data and keys are held in that browser’s local storage and are removed when browser data is cleared. The free plan requires users to bring their own model key. Hosted access is available for a 12.00 USD one-time contribution, granting three months of access.

Who it is for

Ensoul suits adults 18 and over who want companion data kept in local documents and prefer to manage memories themselves. It may also fit users who want to import existing character material or connect coding-agent session stores.

What is good

  • Conversation memories can be corrected or deleted
  • Imports companions from many document and chat formats

Verdict
