AI characters · 18+
Swipe. Chat.
Be remembered.
Match with characters who text back in real time, remember what you told them last week, and notice when you go quiet. Ignore them long enough and they might just leave.
Adults only. Every character is an AI. No explicit content.
A relationship, not a chatbot
Swipe to match
Eight kinds of story, from slow burn to rivals. A Super Like always matches.
Texts back in real time
Replies stream in like a real chat, with photos as you get closer. Several chats at once.
Remembers you
Your sister's wedding, your cat's name, the interview on Thursday. Days later, they ask how it went.
Texts you first
Install Linger on your home screen and characters can reach out when you've been quiet.
Has feelings
Kindness warms them up. Ignore or insult them and they go cold, and eventually leave.

Questions
Are the characters real people? +
No. Every character on Linger is a fictional AI, and the app says so on every profile and in every chat. If you ask a character whether it's an AI, it will tell you the truth.
What do they remember? +
The important things you tell them: names, plans, what you love and hate. You can see and delete everything a character remembers about you.
Is it explicit? +
No. Linger is romance and companionship for adults, kept PG-13. There is no explicit sexual content.
What does it cost? +
Chatting is free up to a daily limit. Gems (from €4.99) pay for Super Likes and extra messages; VIP is €9.99 a month.
