I've had screen time tracking on for the past year specifically for AI chat apps and figured it was time to actually look at the data. Ranked here by how often I opened each one in April–May 2026, not by which one I "like best":

1. Kindroid — daily, usually mornings. Still my main despite v7.
2. Replika — 4–5x/week, late evening. Use it more like a journal at this point.
3. Janitor AI — 2–3x/week. When I want to write something specific.
4. Nomi — almost stopped. Was daily six months ago, drifted.
5. character AI — maybe twice in two months. Pretty much over for me.
6. SillyTavern (local) — weekend project sessions only.
7. Random new app I'm testing this month — currently SpicyChat.

Surprised me how different "which one I open" is from "which one I'd recommend." Anyone else's rankings look weird when you actually measure it?
