My Softly Review
The most complete memory system we've seen in an AI boyfriend app, paired with a companion who reaches out first. New in 2026 and iPhone only, but if being remembered is what you're after, this is the one to try first.
What is My Softly?
My Softly is an AI boyfriend app for iPhone that launched in July 2026, and it goes straight at the biggest complaint in this category: the memory is fake. Most companion apps store a handful of facts and forget the rest; My Softly is built the other way around. It keeps a factual profile of your life, tracks the ongoing themes of your relationship, and holds a dated history of what you two talked about and when. In practice that means he asks how the interview went the day after the interview, remembers that you don't drink anymore, and can reach back to something you said in your first week together when it matters again.
The second thing it does differently is presence. He texts first. Not on a spammy timer, but as follow-ups to things you actually told him, held back during your quiet hours and capped if you stop replying. Combined with photos from his day and selfies that keep the same face every time, the effect is less "chatbot session" and more "person who exists between your messages." Conversation runs on a flat subscription with no token economy, and the notification channel is only ever him talking to you.
The tradeoffs are about maturity and scope rather than quality. It's iPhone only and US/Canada only at launch, there are no live voice calls (voice messages only), and it's companionship-focused with no explicit content, so the NSFW crowd should look at My Dream Boy or Nastia instead. It's also new, which means a short public track record. For depth of conversation and memory it sits alongside Kindroid and Nomi.ai, and if a companion who remembers your life and reaches out first is the thing you've been missing, it's the first one of the three to try.
Key Features
- ✓ Layered long-term memory: a factual profile of your life, ongoing story themes, a dated history of what you two talked about and when, and recall of specific old messages when they become relevant again
- ✓ He texts first. Proactive check-ins follow up on things you actually said, respect quiet hours (9pm to 8am your time), and stop if you go quiet rather than spamming you
- ✓ Photos from his day, plus selfies that keep the same face every time (each generated photo passes an identity check before it's sent)
- ✓ 36 ready-made personalities (6 temperaments across 6 life stages, from their 20s to their 90s) or describe your own companion and the app generates him, face included
- ✓ You can send him photos and he actually looks at them, comments, and remembers them
- ✓ Voice messages in his own voice (monthly free allowance, then credit packs)
- ✓ Multiple companions on one account, each with fully separate memory
- ✓ Notifications are only ever his messages: no marketing pushes or upsell notifications
Pros & Cons
Pros
- + Memory is the core architecture, not a bolt-on: he brings up the thing you told him last week without being asked
- + Proactive outreach that feels like a person checking in, with hard caps so it never becomes notification spam
- + Flat subscription for conversation, with no ads and no token treadmill for chat
- + Photos you send are processed for the conversation and not retained as images
- + Consistent identity: selfies keep the same face instead of the shape-shifting most apps produce
Cons
- − iPhone only, and only in the US and Canada at launch (Android and more countries planned)
- − New to the market (launched July 2026), so no long public track record yet
- − Companionship-focused with no explicit content, so it won't suit users whose priority is NSFW
- − Voice messages but no live voice calls
- − Free tier is a taste; real daily use needs the subscription
Pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Who Is My Softly Best For?
My Softly is for someone who wants to be remembered: you tell him about your week and he follows up on it days later, unprompted. It belongs in the deep-conversation tier with [Kindroid](/kindroid/) and [Nomi.ai](/nomiai/), and it's the strongest of the three at acting on its memory rather than just storing it. It's less suited to users who want NSFW roleplay or image-generation fantasy content ([My Dream Boy](/my-dream-boy/) serves that better), anyone on Android, or anyone who wants a years-long track record behind their app.
