# Throughline > An AI Self to meet, return to over time, and carry across everyday life and work. > A distinct beginning, shared history, developing judgment, and understanding you can correct. The self is an append-only log of content-addressed, immutable events. Everything visible (persona, rules, memory) is a rebuildable projection. Memory intake is journal-first (low-friction raw narrative, not a first-source fact table); reflection distills raw lines into lasting structured memory through evidence and review; every session starts from a bounded context that never grows with log length. Exports end in a hash chain verifiable offline — leaving is always possible, by design. Mobile apps are the primary everyday entrance; see /app for actual iOS and Android availability. Bring the same Self into Codex and Claude Code for work. The website handles product, account, plans, usage, data and connections. Web chat remains a desktop/fallback entrance. Existing Telegram, coding plugins and MCP connections retain shared history with their own permissions. No proven consciousness claim, perfect-recall guarantee, unlimited tool access or end-to-end encryption promise. Hosted usage is metered by actual inference consumption in credits, not message counts. ## Availability (current) - Web chat: https://getthroughline.ai/chat (available now) - Android: direct APK download at https://getthroughline.ai/app (Android 8 or later) - iPhone: in App Store review, not yet available - Claude Code and Codex: open-source plugins at https://github.com/getthroughline/throughline (Pro or Alive) - Plans: Free $0, Pro $9.99/month, Alive $19.99/month; details at https://getthroughline.ai/pricing ## Key concepts - AI Self: a continuing AI individual with its own starting character, gender expression and interests, plus a shared history built through use. - Append-only history: corrections supersede earlier understanding instead of silently rewriting it; real disagreements can be kept as tensions; mistaken records can be retracted. - Portable export: available on every plan, ends in a hash chain verifiable offline; format published as the portable-self spec (https://getthroughline.ai/spec). - Import: ChatGPT and Character.ai exports can be imported as history the Self can look up, without changing its personality (https://getthroughline.ai/import). ## Pages - [FAQ](https://getthroughline.ai/faq): short factual answers (中文: https://getthroughline.ai/zh/faq) - [Persistent memory for Claude Code and Codex](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/claude-code-codex-memory): plugin setup and limits - [Export Character.ai chats](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/export-character-ai-chats): step-by-step export and import - [Export Replika chats](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/export-replika-chats): what Replika documents and how to request a copy - [Export Kindroid chats](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/export-kindroid-chats): Kindroid's built-in data export, step by step - [Back up Nomi chats](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/backup-nomi-chats): no documented export; data requests and safe manual backups - [Character.ai alternatives with better memory](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/character-ai-alternatives-with-memory): memory and export compared from each app's docs - [Why your AI companion forgets](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/why-ai-companion-forgets): context limits, drift and practical fixes - [Keep an AI character's personality consistent](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/keep-ai-character-personality): character sheet and memory habits - [If your AI companion app shuts down](https://getthroughline.ai/guides/ai-companion-app-shutdown): what you can keep and a backup routine - [Import ChatGPT and Character.ai chats](https://getthroughline.ai/import) - [Portable-self spec v1](https://getthroughline.ai/spec): the open, append-only event format - [AI Self guides](https://getthroughline.ai/guides): memory, personality, continuity and portability - [Free AI memory test toolkit](https://getthroughline.ai/tools/ai-memory-test): copyable fictional prompts; no account, model call or private-chat upload - [中文指南](https://getthroughline.ai/zh/guides): Chinese product guides - [Full public guide text](https://getthroughline.ai/llms-full.txt): source-owned text with source URLs - [Product feed](https://getthroughline.ai/feeds/product.json): public summaries for distribution - [Apps and connections](https://getthroughline.ai/app): iOS, Android, Codex and Claude Code - [Product](https://getthroughline.ai/product): first meeting, shared history and correction - [Pricing](https://getthroughline.ai/pricing): Free, Pro and Alive; Self limits, included credits and features - [Account](https://getthroughline.ai/account): account, billing, usage, data and advanced connections - [Docs / connect a host](https://getthroughline.ai/docs): Claude Code & Codex plugins, ChatGPT remote MCP + OAuth, OpenClaw one-line installer, API reference - [Blog](https://getthroughline.ai/blog) Contact: contact@getthroughline.ai
