PolyBuzz alternative (2026): an AI companion with memory you can see and control

What's happening with PolyBuzz

PolyBuzz's iPhone app is not listed in the Apple App Store right now. Third-party trackers saw it disappear around October 15, 2026. Neither PolyBuzz nor Apple has given a reason, and we couldn't find a return date.

According to the same reports, the Android app is still on Google Play and the PolyBuzz website still works. We can't confirm that for every device, so check the app itself.

Keep your characters and stories this week

1. Copy each character you want to keep. Save its name, greeting and personality description somewhere safe. PolyBuzz has no import to NuraMate, so copy them by hand.
2. Save the stories and memories that matter. Copy the lines you want to keep, since they may not come with you.

Why people choose NuraMate

• Memory you can read and edit. See everything your companion remembers, and correct, pin or delete any of it, anytime.
• Works on iPhone without the App Store. Open nuramate.ai in Safari, then tap Share and Add to Home Screen. It opens like an app.
• Your data, downloadable anytime. Download everything we store about you (profile, conversations, memories and photos) as a ZIP file from your account.
• Private by design. We never sell or share your personal information for advertising, never use conversations for ads, and never show them to other users.
• Voice, photos and group chats. Voice replies and companion photos on Plus and Pro, and group chats with two or three companions together.
• Adults only, clear boundaries. NuraMate is 18+ and non-explicit.
• Free to start on the web. Free plan, no card needed.

Bring your character to NuraMate in 3 steps

1. Copy the name, greeting and personality description from your PolyBuzz character.
2. On NuraMate, choose Create your own. Paste the text into Bringing a character from Character.AI? Paste it here and choose Import, or fill in the fields by hand. Longer background continues in the character's Lorebook, used whenever its keywords come up.
3. Fill in anything still empty, pick a portrait style, and start chatting.

Placeholders carry over: paste text with {{user}} and {{char}} as they are, and NuraMate fills in your name and your character's.
