Install the app, pick a version, chat in bubbles, bring old chats back, back up to the cloud and open it on every device. Not one command.

What it does for you

Everything SillyTavern needs, in a few clicks

No terminal, no long commands copied from a forum, no folders to find. Here is what that looks like.

Cloud backupMost loved

Never lose a chat again

Sign in once, with Cloudflare or with Google Drive, and your chats, characters and settings are copied to your own cloud every few minutes, by themselves. If your computer breaks, your phone is lost, or you delete something by mistake, sign in again on any device and everything comes back.

  • Backs up on its own, every few minutes
  • Free: Cloudflare R2’s free plan, or the space your Google Drive already has
  • On Google Drive, backups sit in a hidden app folder, away from your files
  • One sign-in on a new device brings it all back

Chat bubbles and notificationsNew

Know the moment a character replies

Send a message, put your phone down. When the reply is ready, your phone says so, with the character’s name and its first words, even with SillyTavern closed. On Android, your chats can float as bubbles over any app: tap one, answer, and carry on with what you were doing.

  • Notifications on Android, on an iPhone from the Home Screen, and on a computer
  • Chat bubbles on Android 11 and later, each character in its own
  • Hide the preview on any device other people can see

Online link

Your SillyTavern, on every device

Switch on one link and SillyTavern opens on your phone, tablet or another computer, at home or anywhere else. Scan the QR code to open it on your phone in a second. Protected by your own PIN.

  • A fixed link that never changes, or a fast one for the snappiest chat
  • Scan a QR code instead of typing an address

Install and versions

Any SillyTavern version, one click

Pick the SillyTavern version you like from the list and press Install. The manager always downloads it from SillyTavern’s official GitHub and installs it for you. Want to try a newer one, or go back to your favourite? Same list, same button, and your chats open fine on every version.

  • Start and stop SillyTavern with a button
  • Switch versions without reinstalling anything
  • Always the official release, straight from GitHub

Updates

New releases, the moment they are out

When SillyTavern publishes a new version, a notice appears right on your overview, and the bell can tell your phone too. Press Install it and you are up to date. Not ready yet? Not now hides it until the next one.

  • Told on the page and on your phone, no need to watch GitHub
  • One click to update
  • Your data is always backed up safely before switching

Restore

Bring back a backup with one button

Moving from an old SillyTavern? Upload the ZIP you downloaded from SillyTavern, or a backup from another SillyTavern Manager. No extra apps, no unzipping, no hunting for the right folder. The manager shows what is inside, then puts it all back.

  • Works with SillyTavern’s own backup ZIP
  • On Android, brings over a SillyTavern you ran in Termux in a few taps
  • See what is inside before anything changes
  • A safety copy is taken first, so you can undo

Open with tools

SillyTavern, with a toolbox beside it

Open SillyTavern with tools and a small button floats at the edge of the page. Back up to your computer or to the cloud without leaving your chat, read what is happening in the live logs, reload SillyTavern or go full screen. No terminal window needed.

  • Back up in the middle of a chat
  • Live logs whenever something looks wrong
  • Works on a phone as well as a computer

Saver mode

Little space? It still fits

On a phone or a small server that is nearly full, Saver mode keeps your backups in the cloud instead of on the device. When a backup is too big to bring back, it offers to leave out what SillyTavern does not need: old extension downloads, thumbnails and SillyTavern’s own backup copies. Every chat, character and setting still comes back.

  • Turns itself on when space is short
  • Leaves out files SillyTavern can do without
  • Refuses a restore that would not fit, instead of failing halfway

Free and private

Free forever, and your data stays yours

SillyTavern Manager is free, open-source software. There is no account to create and nothing to pay for.

Free for life

No subscription, no trial, no limits. The source code is public under the AGPL-3.0 licence, so anyone can check what it does.

The official SillyTavern

SillyTavern is always downloaded from its official GitHub repository, and its files are never changed.

Only you hold your data

Chats and characters stay on your device and in your own Cloudflare or Google account. This project has no server that stores them and never sees them.

Locked with your passwords

The manager opens with your password and SillyTavern with your PIN. Too many wrong guesses and the door locks itself.

The manager sends the project a small, anonymous usage summary, never your chats, prompts, characters or API keys. The Privacy Notice has the details.

And also

The little things that add up

See your usage

Messages, tokens and response times per day, per provider and per model.

Separate profiles

Keep different sets of characters and chats apart, and switch between them in a click.

Stays awake

Keeps the manager running where a battery saver or an idle timer would shut it down.

Your language, your look

English and Vietnamese, light and dark, on a computer or with one thumb on a phone.

Settings that save themselves

Flip a SillyTavern setting and it is saved and applied. No Save button, no restart to remember.

A proxy in one paste

Paste a proxy in any form and SillyTavern sends its requests through it.

Open it with your account

Sign in with the Cloudflare or Google account you back up to. Only that account gets in.

Fast with thousands of cards

A profile with a great many characters loads them as they are needed, so SillyTavern still opens quickly.

Take a look

The whole panel, on any screen

The same interface on a computer and on a phone, in light and dark, in English and Vietnamese.
