Character App on the web and on iPhone

Updated September 13, 2026 · 5 min read

Character App is one Studio on two surfaces: the web app runs in any browser at character.app, and the iPhone app — “Character App: AI Video Studio” — is on the App Store. Both sign into the same account, so your Worlds, Cast, and Episodes are the same objects on either. The web is where the fullest Studio lives; the iPhone app puts the same Studio in your pocket.

Web: character.app · any browser
iPhone: On the App Store
Shared: Account · Cast · Worlds
Start on web: No install, no card
Best first step: The idea bar below

The same Studio World screen that appears on both surfaces — one account, one set of Worlds. — One Studio, two surfaces — this screen is the same object on web and iPhone.

One account, one Studio
The important thing is what doesn’t differ: the account. Sign in on the web or on the iPhone and you land in the same Studio — same Worlds, same Cast, same Episodes, same Library. There is no “phone version” with separate content or a second library to manage.
That’s because it’s genuinely one product: the iPhone app wraps the same Studio the web serves, so work started at a desk is continued from a couch without export, import, or sync rituals.
The World screen — identical state on both surfaces because it’s the same account.

The web app: the full Studio, no install
character.app in a browser is the complete product — the idea bar, Genesis, Cast, World, Director, Scene planner, Episodes, Library. Nothing requires a download: the door on this page drops you into the first-run flow with your idea prefilled.
Web is also where the product is updated first and where this site’s doors point. If you’re evaluating, the web app is the fastest honest look — you can have a Character drawn and kept before deciding anything else about the app.
The web Studio at full size — the Scene planner on a desktop window.
The iPhone app: the same Studio, pocket-sized
“Character App: AI Video Studio” on the App Store is the same product built for the phone: Home shows your Worlds, your Cast, and where you left off; the composer bar handles Chat, Image, Clip, and Story from one line; the Library’s viewer opens every finished piece fullscreen.
The App Store listing names it straight — “Star in your AI Vertical Drama” — and the 9:16 Episode format exists for exactly this surface. The current release rebuilt the Studio around one-bar creation.
The iPhone app — the same Studio, shaped for the phone.
What carries over: everything that matters
Because the account is shared, the durable things are shared: every World you built, every Cast member you seated, the Bible’s memory, drafted Scenes, finished Episodes, and the Library. Start a show on the web, watch the Episode on the phone — no handoff step in between.
Your wallet follows the account too: Credits and plan status are server-side, so the balance you see on one surface is exactly the balance on the other, whichever one you happen to open.
Your Cast on either surface — seated once, present everywhere you sign in.
Where each surface is honest about itself
The web app is the reference surface — every guide on this site describes it, and it gets new work first. The iPhone app is the same Studio optimized for a smaller screen: perfect for checking takes, continuing a draft, or showing someone the Episode.
Plan options can differ between platforms — the iOS listing carries its own subscription handling through your Apple ID, and the Pricing page on the web is the canonical list. Check /pricing before assuming a tier exists on both.
Same output either way — an Episode is an Episode on both surfaces.
Start where it’s easiest — it all converges
No install needed to begin: the door below opens the web Studio with your idea already typed into it. If the show sticks, the iPhone app is the same account on a second screen — download it when you want the Studio in your pocket, not before you need it.
The two-surface answer in one line: create anywhere, continue everywhere, decide nothing twice. Whichever surface you open next week is already holding everything you made today — Cast, World, and Episodes included.
The same first step on both surfaces: one photo or one line.

Made this way

9:16 Episodes — made for the phone.
The World’s memory travels with the account.
The payoff is identical on both.

Common mistakes

Assuming the app is a separate product. It’s one Studio — the account, the Worlds, and the Library are shared, so there’s nothing to migrate and no second learning curve.
Waiting for the app before starting. The web app is complete and needs no install — the door on this page is the fastest path, and the iPhone app layers on top later.
Expecting plan pricing to match across surfaces. iOS subscriptions run through your Apple ID and can differ from web plans — /pricing is the source of truth for what’s offered where.
Treating the phone as consumption-only. The iPhone app is the real Studio — you can direct, draw, and keep takes there, not only watch.
Hunting for an Android app. The listing that exists today is iPhone; the web app covers every other device with a browser — including Android phones.

Questions

Is there a Character App Android app?

Today the native listing is iPhone — “Character App: AI Video Studio” on the App Store. Android users get the same Studio through the browser at character.app; the web app is the full product, not a fallback.

Does my work sync between web and iPhone?

There’s nothing to sync — it’s one account and one backend. Worlds, Cast, Episodes, and the Library are the same objects whichever surface you open them on.

Is the iPhone app a limited version?

It’s the same Studio shaped for the phone: Home, the composer bar, the Director, the Story editor, and the fullscreen Library viewer all ship in the current release.

Where should a new user start — web or app?

The web app — no install, and this page’s idea door preloads your premise straight into first run. Install the iPhone app when you want the same account in your pocket.

Do plans and Credits work on both?

The wallet is account-level, so balances carry. Plan checkout differs by platform — iOS bills through your Apple ID — and /pricing lists the current options per surface.
