TauriTavern is a free, open-source native application that brings the SillyTavern AI chat experience to desktop and mobile devices. It preserves SillyTavern's frontend while replacing its Node.js backend with a Rust implementation built on Tauri. Users can create character-based conversations, manage presets, and organize world information. The software maintains compatibility with SillyTavern character cards, chats, and supported frontend extensions. Its built-in Git functionality simplifies installing and updating extensions. It supports encrypted local network synchronization and optional remote synchronization between devices. An evolving AI agent framework includes tool calling, skills, and subagents. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, TauriTavern stores conversation data locally by default.
