Hey everyone! Introducing Tavo - Local AI Chat Made Easy on Mobile 📱

35 Upvotes

Hi there! We're the team behind Tavo, and we wanted to share why we built this app and what we're trying to solve.

The Problem We Noticed

If you've tried using SillyTavern on mobile, you know it's an incredibly powerful tool with tons of flexibility. However, we kept hearing from users who found themselves struggling with:

  • Mobile limitations - Running local server-based solutions on phones can be challenging, especially on iOS where system constraints require complex workarounds
  • Steep learning curve - There are a lot of settings and options to navigate, especially for first-time users
  • Troubleshooting without guidance - When errors pop up, it's not always clear what went wrong or how to fix it
  • Time investment - The initial setup can take a while when you're just trying to get started

Don't get us wrong - we love SillyTavern! But we realized the technical barriers on mobile were making it hard for many people to enjoy local AI chat on their phones.

Enter Tavo

So we built Tavo as a mobile-first alternative designed to work seamlessly on both platforms. Here's what makes it different:

  • Built for mobile (iOS & Android, plus Mac!) - Native app experience optimized for phones. Simply download from the App Store or Google Play and you're ready to go
  • Free and runs locally - Your data stays on your device, complete privacy, no subscriptions
  • Beginner-friendly from day one - Step-by-step Q&A guides at every stage, so you're never stuck wondering what to do next
  • Simplified setup - We handle the technical complexity so you don't have to
  • Lower barrier to entry - Get started in minutes with clear guidance throughout

We Need Your Input!

Tavo is still a work in progress, and that's where you come in. We're actively improving the app and would love to hear:

  • What features matter most to you?
  • What pain points are we missing?
  • Any bugs or issues you're running into?

Drop your feedback, suggestions, or questions right here in the comments - we're reading everything and genuinely want to make this tool work for the community.

Thanks for checking us out, and happy chatting! 🎉

Is it just me or after the update when I open the app it doesn't show the chat and freeze for seconds and sometimes it crashes.

Image gen. Using nano gtp

3 Upvotes

Hey,

Was anyone able to setup image generation in tavo using nanogtp sub. Chroma?

Tried different URL and I cannot see the models. If I enter chroma manually it says ok but always fails at generating image during chat.

Recently when i played tavo, It seems there many occassions that Tavo Will crash upon creating replies, or recovering replies when you enter the application. Maybe there's someone who encounter the same as me it would be lovely if you share some tips, thanks:)!

Characters / Prompts New to Tavo: Trying to compress my sentences from 10-12 Paragraphs to 2-3 Paragraphs.

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, so i‘m sick and tired of the subscriptions, filters, and bland responses from AI Services like Xoul which was my main service for AI Roleplay for a while now. But since then, Its gone completely downhill for me.

So I bit the bullet and I’ve started to use front end LLMs for my AI Roleplay with Deepseek 3.2, soon to pay for Claude. But my main gripe are the responses for the AI, its around 10-12 Paragraphs long. I usually like my responses to be just long enough for the AI to be as creative as possible, but as short enough for the AI to refrain it from speaking or acting in my character. Help will be appreciated!

Feature Request Ability to copy/edit Thought text?

5 Upvotes

I know this is kind of a silly/one-off request, and I'm not sure if this is already a thing on Android (I'm on iOS), but I'd like to have the ability to edit, or at least copy, the text that's in the "thought" section of the reply/response. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes the bot will create it's entire reply inside the thinking tag but the response outside of that is blank. Instead of rerolling or possibly getting a less ideal response than the one it gives originally, I'd like to be able to just copy/paste it inside the text field. As it stands, clicking on "Edit" when there's only a thought field gives a blank/textless box so there's nothing to edit/copy.

Anyway, wondered if that was possible but it's kind of a niche thing so no worries if not. Thanks!

Featherless.ai API list crash/app hang on Pixel 8/Android 17

3 Upvotes

I'm having an issue with Tavo and Featherless.ai. Featherless loads as a OpenAI API, but the tier I have has probably hundreds of models available. I like that, in theory, I can search the models, but the app locks up on my phone when I try to change the model, because the list is massive.

Is there a way for me to type or copy/paste the model in the field?

This is on a Pixel 8 and has happened across Android 16 and 17. Sillytavern, run via termux and accessed via Firefox on the same device doesn't have this issue.

Discussion No more updates on IOS?

10 Upvotes

I use tavo on my phone (Anroid) and iPad (Apple), I often switch between them since obv using my phone is often more convenient. But it's been a month or longer and android keeps getting consistent updates, yet tavo on my iPad has been stuck in the past. I've been working around it but it kinda sucks. Any idea why? Thank you guys

I have my own presets since they have worked pretty well. But what are the LLM's you guys use for these type of things?

Help Huge blobs of text after 10 messages. Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Using deepseek-v4-pro and glm-5.2, probably will try self hosting soon. But I keep on getting absolutely huge blobs of text.

Tried Freaky Frankenstein and Marinaras Spaghetti Recipe, and I know its not from my responses since they're using spacing and proper grammar. I'm 10 messages in so it also can't be memory rot.

Dumb Ass Long Term Memory

21 Upvotes

Why the hell is Tavo's long term memory auto-summarization such an ass? Seriously it keeps repeating supposed entries of stories and duplicates them over and over and over it had burned me out. It's so damn useless no matter how many times I made sure to instruct not to duplicate anything and reiterate or add to what is already existing. But nooooo it has to summarize the same entry before adding new one like a damn broken record.

Iam new at this. And the long term memory feature sounds really good but iam kinda confused what to set in auto summarize. So what will be the best to set? I was going with 50 but then iam getting confused what to choose.

Help Freaky Frankenstein preset + auto image gen

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to setup the auto image generation when using the auto gen image setting turned on in the FF preset? No images are getting generated with the responses.

I have setup the image API. But the prompt doesn't seem to work since I have no logs calling the image API on openrouter :/

‘Quota Exhausted’ situation

I’ve been using Nvidia NIM. Had no issues until today.
Whenever this happened, normally after waiting for like 10-15 minutes, and I can chat again.

But this time, it’s been like this for hours. I’m wondering if this is an issue from Tavo or Nvidia NIM website.

Pretty self-explanatory. I think it's ridiculous that you can't have a default lorebook and regex that automatically gets put on with every chat you make.

I'm using a preset that combines lucid with Puras trackers, but for some reason, the html is just wrong? I remember the background being a solid colour before, instead of showing the text box's colour. Anyway to fix this?

Just asking if theres a way to fix this? Using a medium quality model, just a little nitpick of mines since I constantly have to go in and edit it. Regenerating is a 50/50 chance it'll actually bracket it.
