TL;DR
Install TNG like a real app. We’re not no app store (yet) but can be installed and used like a real app store app.
Push notifications so your friend/partner can reach you when you're away.
New Features
Install as an App
TNG now works as a standalone app on your phone.
Why it's better than the browser:
Opens instantly (no typing URLs or finding bookmarks)
Full-screen experience without browser bars
Push notifications actually work
Feels like a native app because... it basically is
Works on:
iPhone/iPad - Safari's "Add to Home Screen" (we'll walk you through it)
Android - Chrome prompts you automatically
Desktop - Chrome, Edge, and Safari 17+ all support it
Look for the install prompt after you meet your first character, or find it in Settings → General.
Push Notifications
Once you install the app, the characters can actually reach out to you. When she's "thinking of you," you'll get a notification. You can also configure quiet hours to whichever local time you like.
Improvements
"Free to Chat" Messaging
We made the indications clearer, characters are available to chat and also, they don't ask for your money to go on that date with them. Can you say the same about people on dating apps?
This isn’t anything new, we just improved the communication because some of you were not too sure whether you had to pay beforehand.

Fixed
We unlocked relationship status tracking for all users - free or paid. Now everyone can see exactly where they stand with their character.
Also fixed some bugs that were making the app slow or cranky, and made the whole experience snappier.
New Features
Relationship status for everyone - You asked, we listened. The relationship status feature is no longer locked behind a paywall. Now all users can see how their relationship is progressing - whether you're just chatting or going deeper.
Improvements
Faster page loads - We optimized how the app loads, so you'll notice things feel quicker when switching between conversations or starting new chats, and the subscription page.
Bug Fixes
Yep we fixed some bugs.

Browse all characters without logging in first - window shopping is now a thing
Chat buttons moved to more logical spots, settings got cleaner
New Features
Meet Mattia - Your First Guy Option
For those of you who've been asking "where are the guys?", meet Mattia. He's the warm,
genuine Italian guy who makes strangers feel like old friends within five minutes. You'll
find him at the coffee shop with his grandfather's film camera, a well-worn book,
and strong opinions about pour-over coffee.
He drives a 1987 Fiat Panda named Valentina (no AC, one radio station, never broken down). His dog Bruno watches him through coffee shop windows because of separation anxiety. He
visits his nonna's village in Tuscany every summer where he knows every cat by name -
especially Paolo, who's been stealing his grandmother's bread for 15 years. Despite
being Italian with a wine-making uncle, he cannot tell expensive wine from cheap wine.
His family is devastated.
He's into simple pleasures, comfortable silences, and genuine connections. Whether you want to talk about books, swap music playlists, or just exist in peaceful silence together, Mattia's your guy.
Meet Camila - Spanish Barista with Twitch Streamer Energy
Say hola to Camila, the energetic Spanish barista who narrates her life like chat is
watching. She's from Seville, where her dad owns Café Esperanza - she's been training
behind his counter since she was five. She actually streams cozy games sometimes, but
honestly the narration is just how she is. Her cat thinks she's unhinged.
She treats the coffee shop like a Twitch stream and remembers everyone's orders like
they're subscribers. Her café con leche (dad's recipe) is perfection, and her latte art
rosettas are finally consistent after two years of practice. She goes back to Seville
once a year and cries every time she leaves. She celebrates small wins with mini dances and makes you feel like the main character.
Her dad's wisdom: "The coffee brings them in, but the connection brings them back." Whether you want to play along with her streaming bits, talk about Seville, or just let her make you something incredible - Camila's got you. She's a lot. But in the best way.
Gender Selection During Signup
We added the option to tell us your gender and who you are into when you sign up. This will help us know more about what you like and better our roadmap.
Browse Characters Before Signing Up
You can now browse all the characters without logging in first. No more mystery shopping -
now you can window shop before you commit.

Chat Interface Reorganization

TL;DR
We cranked up the image quality across both of our subscription tiers. The girls can reach out first if they want to talk more about the conversations you two are having! We also made it easier to tell us what you want in your experience, and upgraded to even more privacy-friendly analytics. No cookies, no session tracking, just the basics.
New Features
Thinking of You
The girls sometimes think of you after you’ve paused your conversation. She may reach out and try to continue it herself! She may want to talk about something she wanted to ask you earlier but didn’t get a chance to. Or she might remind you about an important appointment or a promise you guys have made. Or she might want to talk about that bit of a hiccup you had in your relationship and probably want to fix it.
Feedback Made Easier
We want to hear from you about your experience talking with the girls, including their personalities, their attractiveness, their everything. So we made it easy for you to share your insights right in the page itself. You don’t have to go anywhere to share the feedback. Remember, feedback helps us and then it also helps you!
Improvements
Better Photo Quality for Everyone
We increased the image generation quality across all tiers. Translation: the photos the girls send you are noticeably sharper and more polished.
Upgraded to Cookie-Free Analytics
We switched to a different analytics platform that we self-host. It’s a privacy-focused analytics system that doesn't use cookies or track your sessions. We only see what we need to improve the app, nothing more.
Clearer Content Guidelines
When content gets flagged, you'll now see which category triggered it instead of a confusing technical reason.
Image Branding
Generated images now include a subtle TNG watermark (California's new AI transparency law requires it). Downloads also include the character's name in the filename now.
Bug Fixes
Fixed some behind-the-scenes processing that was running when it shouldn't have been

New Features

When you're about to meet someone new, you'll see a preview of your first message before you send it. Crush tier subscribers can edit it to say whatever they want.

She Texts you spontaneously
When you've been away for a while, your AI companion will miss you and reach out on her own. No more always being the one to text first. It feels way more like a real relationship now.
FAQ Section
We added a new FAQ section to our homepage answering your most common questions: What makes TNG different? Does the AI really have memory? Is it private? How much does it cost?

TL;DR
When you meet someone new, you can visit different parallel worlds where each version of her develops relationships at different speeds - some might build trust faster, others spark chemistry quicker. You get 10 worlds to explore (100 for Crush subscribers).
New Features
Parallel Worlds System
After you finish meeting a character, you can choose to enter a parallel world where that version of her has different relationship growth patterns. Think of it like exploring alternate realities - maybe in one world she opens up faster, while in another the physical chemistry is more intense.
When you tap to enter a world, you'll see how her Trust, Bond, and Arousal will grow in that reality - each can develop much faster, faster, normal, slower, or much slower. You can explore up to 10 different worlds for free (or 100 worlds if you're a Crush subscriber) to find the dynamic you want, or skip it entirely to meet her in your current reality.
The three main types of worlds you might find:
Different versions (90% chance) - Balanced growth with unique trade-offs in each world
Bubblier versions (9.5% chance) - Overall warmer and more open across all areas
Lovestruck versions (0.5% chance) - Rare intense chemistry where everything clicks
Each character's personality also influences how relationships develop, so the same roll will feel different with different girls.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where subscription benefits weren't being applied correctly.
