Layla: offline roleplay and images on your phone

What is Layla?

Layla is a mobile app that runs AI on the phone itself, and unlike every other on-device tool here it does more than chat. Characters, roleplay scenarios, image generation, VRM avatars and voice all run locally, organised into modes: a basic offline chatbot, a personal assistant, roleplay, local image generation, and an optional cloud mode using hosted models.

At a glance

Product identity

Pricing

Not published on the vendor's own site. No figure appears anywhere ClickTug could read, including through a rendering browser. The app is distributed through the mobile stores, so the in-app purchase prices are visible at the point of install rather than in advance, which is a weaker form of disclosure than a pricing page but not the absence of one.

There is a basic mode described as a fast, focused offline chatbot on a lightweight local model with no extra features switched on. No allowance is published for it, and how much of the fuller feature set sits behind a purchase is not documented on the site.

Refunds: Purchases made through the mobile stores follow those stores' refund policies. The vendor publishes no separate refund terms.

Platforms

Android and iOS. There is no desktop version. Which models and which image generation are practical depends on the phone, since everything in the local modes runs on the device's own processor.

Feature matrix

Absence of evidence is not recorded as absence of a feature. Anything that needs an account to confirm is marked not tested rather than "no".

Privacy and data

In local modes there is nothing to handle: inference runs on the device, so prompts, conversations and generated images are not transmitted, and history can be deleted at any time. The honest part is the cloud mode. The vendor offers it for more capability and describes it as carrying cloud-provider privacy trade-offs, rather than presenting it as equivalent to local. Naming the trade-off is unusual and is the reason this listing treats the local claim as credible.

Privacy disclosure

What the vendor lets you know before paying

This measures disclosure, not quality. A good product can document nothing, and that is worth knowing separately from whether it is any good.

Content policy and safety

Layla documents its output filtering asno documented output filter, and its age policy as none stated.

Layla does not offer clothing removal from photographs of real people. ClickTug does not list tools that do. Its stated position on the likeness of real people is that documented consent is required.

What the vendor prohibits

• Nothing is enforced by the app in its local modes, which run a model you chose
• In cloud mode, the rules belong to whichever hosted provider is behind it

Local modes apply no content policy and cannot: behaviour belongs to the model on the device. The app also generates images locally, so nothing external moderates what is produced in that mode.

Layla runs on your own hardware, so it receives none of what you generate. ClickTug does not require a minor safety policy or an acceptable use policy from a tool that never receives user content, because there would be nothing for such a policy to govern. Any optional hosted tier is a separate service under its own terms.

ClickTug verdict

The only tool here doing roleplay and image generation on the phone itself. Layla runs characters, scenarios, avatars, voices and local image generation on Android and iOS, with most modes working fully offline and history deletable at any time. It also names its own exception rather than hiding it: the cloud mode is offered for more capability and described as carrying cloud-provider privacy trade-offs. Against that: no price on the vendor's site, phone hardware limits output, and local modes enforce nothing because no server sees them.

Quick answers about Layla

Generated from the same records as the tables above, so an answer here cannot contradict a figure there. Questions only appear when the answer says something specific to this product.

Is Layla free?

There is a free tier. A basic mode is described as a fast focused offline chatbot with a lightweight local model and no extra features enabled. No allowance is published for it.

How much does Layla cost?

No price is published. No figure appears anywhere ClickTug could read, including through a rendering browser. The app is distributed through the mobile stores, where in-app purchase prices are shown at the point of install rather than on the vendor's own site.

Does Layla require a credit card to start?

No card is required to reach the free layer. One is needed for any paid plan.

Does Layla offer refunds?

Purchases made through the mobile stores follow those stores' refund policies. The vendor publishes no separate refund terms.

Does Layla have an app?

Yes, on iOS and Android.

Can Layla run locally?

Yes. It runs models on your own hardware, so prompts and output never leave the machine and the retention question does not arise.

Does Layla train on my conversations?

The vendor states it does not use user content to train models. That is a written commitment, and rarer in this category than it should be.

Can I delete my Layla account?

Yes, through a control in the account rather than by asking support.

Can I use Layla without an account?

Yes. The service can be reached without registering, which almost nothing else in this directory permits.

Is Layla actually uncensored?

ClickTug records no documented output filter, which is a different claim from having no rules: its terms still prohibit a specific list of conduct, set out above.

What company owns Layla, and where?

Layla Network, Not stated on the site. Publishing an identifiable counterparty is worth noting: several tools in this directory name no company at all.
