Everyone knows
only what reached them.
learnedyou, just nowA local-first studio for roleplay and long-form writing. After every reply, Kallamo writes down what happened, where and when, and who was there to see it. Each character answers only from their own part.
v2.0.0 Beta · Windows · macOS · Linux · free and open sourceEvery story gets a workspace with four rooms.
The chat, the manuscript, the world and the memory share one canon. Pick a room below to look inside.
Talk the story through
Chat with AI profiles that have their own model and rules, and read the world you built before they answer.
Kallamo’s own engine keeps the story straight.
After each roleplay reply, it reads the turn and writes the story down: the scene, the clock, inventories and relationships, and what every character now knows, believes and remembers. The next reply is built from that record, one perspective at a time.
On the bottom step, where no rain could have reached it, lay a single page torn from a logbook — and the handwriting on it was her grandfather’s.
from Chapter One · The LighthouseWhat a character knows about a subject: that it exists, which of its fields, which of its connections.
Canonical facts are kept separate from what anyone knows, believes or remembers.
Factions share with their members, regions and areas with the people who live there.
Where someone stands right now stays in the scene. Records are kept for what holds.
Every workspace can look like its story.
A wallpaper for each workspace, glass bubbles you can make more or less see-through, and an accent that sets the tone for the whole app.
Your stories stay on your machine.
Everything you write and everything Kallamo records lives in a database on your computer. One thing leaves it: the request you send to the model you chose.
To the provider you connected, with your key. The stable part stays identical between turns, so providers that cache it bill less.

Join the crew building worlds in Kallamo.
Our server is the camp: writers, game masters, roleplayers and the people who build the app, sharing what they made and deciding where the expedition goes next.
Came to talk, play and ask. Every crew member starts here.
Writes and builds worlds, and shares profiles and knowledge bases in the sharing channels.
Builds Kallamo itself: code, issues, tools and test builds.
One of the first 100 to join. Kept for good, whatever role comes next.
Share a world or a profile, ask how someone connected their local model, test a new build before release. The crew code is short: be kind, share only what you may share, and never post your keys.
Join the expedition
Start with the lighthouse, or walk into the village.
Kallamo 2.0 opens with a chapter to edit and a roleplay to play. Connect a model and the first story is already waiting.
Kallamo is free and built in the open. A star is how other writers and roleplayers find it.
