Short answer
Want Janitor-style adult roleplay without babysitting API keys? Primary pick: Candy AI — hosted models, Deep Mode, no OpenAI/Kobold routing. If you need a big custom-bot catalog on phone, CrushOn is the focused alternate.
Hub: AI girlfriend apps audit. Broader adult-chat context: uncensored chatbots audit.
Why people leave Janitor
Janitor is a UI shell: characters live there, inference often lives elsewhere.
- Setup friction — paste keys, reverse proxies, model pickers.
- Timeouts — “Load failed” when the upstream proxy dies.
- Ban risk — routing NSFW through OpenAI-class keys trips ToS fast.
- Metered cost — pay-per-token on top of the frontend hobby time.
That stack is fine for tinkerers. It is a bad girlfriend product for anyone who just wants the chat to work.
What a replacement should include
| Need | Hosted answer |
|---|---|
| Adult policy without key gymnastics | Candy AI Deep Mode |
| Stable uptime | Vendor GPU, not your proxy |
| Predictable bill | Flat subscription |
| Custom characters on mobile | CrushOn PWA hub |
Stay on Janitor only if you enjoy ops. Migrate when the goal is continuous NSFW RP with memory (LTM notes).
Primary pick: Candy AI
Candy replaces the “frontend + rented brain” pattern with one account: create/chat, adult routing on-product, no third-party key to burn. Confirm deletion/payment if privacy matters.
CTA: Switch to Candy AI
CrushOn when the library of community bots matters more than Candy’s companion packaging.
