====== Interfaces ======

A Character Card only comes to life when used with software that provides the chat interface.

===== Software =====

  * Mobile Support: Which mobile platforms can run this interface
  * Desktop Support: Which desktop platforms can run this interface
  * Hosts Web Interface: If the interface is used from a web browser, potentially on other platforms
  * Backend Included: Interface runs Local LLMs without additional software or third-party APIs

===== Websites =====
Several websites also offer chat interfaces, usually alongside their own card library.
While availability is a strength, privacy should not be expected. Furthermore, changing policies can see your favorite cards disappear overnight.

===== Notes =====
While these lists cannot contain all possible interface projects, the guidelines for including an interface are as follows:
  * Supports PNG character cards in CCv2/CCv3 format
  * Actively developed and maintained
  * Able to be used/deployed without compilation/complex processes (binary releases)
  * A certain degree of popularity or usage, and enough information to write a page on it
  * Other noteworthiness or historical significance
