AI Girlfriend Apps With Long-Term Memory: 6 Tested for Recall

Every AI girlfriend app claims to remember you. Most of them mean “for the next ten messages.”

So we ran one small test everywhere we could: plant four specific facts early in a fresh chat, talk about other things, then ask about them 13 to 17 messages later. A bad companion invents answers with total confidence, which is worse than forgetting.

Quick answer: on free accounts, Muah AI, Janitor AI and SheIsTyping (our own product) each recalled 4 of 4 planted facts in our November 2026 tests. SpicyChat recalled 1 of 4. Kindroid and Nomi advertise the most elaborate long-term memory systems, but Kindroid’s free preview cut us off before a formal test and Nomi requires a Google or Apple login, so their claims are unverified by us.

How we ranked them

  1. Measured recall in our 4-fact test, weighted most.
  2. Context size where the company publishes it (how much recent chat the model can see).
  3. Memory tools you control: pinned memories, journals, lorebooks.
  4. What better memory costs, because “more memory” is the most common upsell in this category.
  5. Trust, since an app that remembers everything is also storing everything.

Caveat: 13 to 17 messages tests short-term memory, not recall across weeks. Long-term memory features are marked as company claims.

1. Muah AI: best measured recall with a usable free allowance

Our companion recalled all four facts correctly and stayed chatty and in character while doing it. In our review the free tier gave roughly 30 replies per six hours, which is enough to tell whether you like it. Paid plans our reviewer saw start at $19.99 a month or $69.99 a year for VIP; the “more memory” tier is Super VIP at $49.99 a month.

The catch is serious. Have I Been Pwned lists a September 2024 breach of 1,910,261 email addresses along with users’ AI prompts, and the site’s current policies don’t mention it. Cancelling also means emailing support; there’s no cancel button. If you use it, use an email you don’t mind being exposed. Details on our Muah AI review.

2. Janitor AI: best free memory for long roleplay

Strictly a roleplay site, but plenty of people use it as a companion. The free model showed a context window of about 9,000 tokens and recalled 4 of 4 facts in our test, with small continuity slips. A memory summary field lets you pin what matters. The price is patience: default-length replies took 90 to 99 seconds in our timing. We compared it head to head in SpicyChat vs Janitor AI and on our Janitor AI review.

3. SheIsTyping (our own product): good memory for texting-style chats

Disclosure: SheIsTyping is our own product. We ran the same test on it as on every other app, and it ties with Muah AI and Janitor AI rather than beating them.

Our coworker character correctly brought back four details (pet, job, deadline, coffee order) and kept a natural texting tone. In our review, text chat was free up to a daily allowance with no card needed. Photos and short videos cost credits, sold in one-time packs from $5 to $100 when we checked, so there’s no subscription to forget about.

Downsides: replies can arrive out of order if you type fast, advertised voice notes didn’t exist in our test, and no company is named. See our SheIsTyping review.

4. Kindroid: most detailed memory system, but you pay to use it

Kindroid’s help center lists “Cascaded Memory” for medium-term recall, “enhanced long-term memory and journal recall” and longer context for subscribers, with more on the Ultra and MAX add-ons (source). In our session the companion brought back two planted details without being asked. It also invented a shared memory that never happened.

New accounts now get a one-time preview: the help center says 50 messages, or 15 in some regions. We got 15, which ended the session before our formal test. At web checkout our reviewer saw $13.99 a month, $37.99 a quarter or $139.99 a year on November 13. Full notes on our Kindroid review.

5. Nomi: memory is the pitch, unverified by us

Nomi’s whole positioning is memory; the company says each companion keeps short, medium and long-term memories (nomi.ai). We couldn’t test it: sign-up is Google or Apple only, and our review rules don’t allow creating social accounts just to get in. The company says the free plan allows 50 messages a day; the US App Store listed Standard at $15.99 a month when we checked. Nomi isn’t listed on ExplicitList yet.

6. SpicyChat: weakest free memory of the group

Fast and free, but the free model recalled only our name and made up the other three facts. From message 14, every reply came with a “Context Limit Reached” upgrade notice. SpicyChat’s premium page says 8K context and automatic “Semantic Memory 2.0” start at the True Supporter tier, now $19.95 a month after a September 2026 price rise. See our SpicyChat review.

The pattern worth knowing

Free tiers here mostly sit around 4K to 9K tokens of context, and that is the real limit on “memory.” Beyond it you get either tools you manage (pinned memories, journals, lorebooks) or a paid tier. If an app sells “long-term memory” without stating context size or letting you edit what it remembers, assume the claim is generous.

And remember the flip side: perfect recall means your chats are stored. Kindroid’s privacy policy, for example, says (per our review of it) chats are encrypted but not end-to-end, and some records can be kept up to seven years after deletion.

FAQ

Which AI girlfriend has the best memory? In our tests, Muah AI, Janitor AI and SheIsTyping (our own product) each recalled 4 of 4 planted facts. Kindroid and Nomi describe more advanced long-term memory, but we couldn’t verify it on free access.

Is there a free AI girlfriend with good memory? Janitor AI’s free model (about 9,000 tokens of context in our test) scored 4 of 4 for us. So did the free daily text chat on SheIsTyping, which is our own product.

Why does my AI girlfriend forget things? Usually the conversation has outgrown the model’s context window. Pin important facts with the app’s memory tool if it has one, or restate them.
