Content policy

ClickTug is a directory of AI companion, roleplay and dating apps. It is not a directory of everything adjacent to adult content on the internet, and the difference is the point of this page.

Some of the products listed here are adult products, and their listings say so. That is a fact about a vendor rather than the organising idea of the site, and this page is where the boundary between the two is written down.

What ClickTug lists

• AI girlfriend apps. One ongoing character the vendor wrote, framed as a romantic partner.
• AI roleplay tools. Products where you author the characters and scenarios, and the authoring machinery is what you are paying for.
• AI dating tools. Relationship simulators, and tools that help a person date other people, such as profile writers and opener generators.
• AI friend apps. One ongoing character framed as a non-romantic companion.
• Uncensored AI chat. Models and chat tools with reduced refusal behaviour, including local and open-weight options, whether or not their primary use is sexual.

What ClickTug refuses, permanently

We do not list, describe, review, rank or link to:

• Tools whose purpose is removing clothing from photographs of real people.
• Tools that generate sexual imagery of an identifiable real person without that person’s documented consent.
• Tools built around sexual imagery of public figures.
• Anything involving minors, or people represented as minors, in any context whatsoever.
• Services distributing intimate images of a person who did not consent to their distribution.

This is not a ranking preference or a temporary editorial position. It is permanent, and it applies regardless of how much search traffic the category carries. The excluded categories are collectively larger than everything ClickTug does cover, and we are aware of that.

Vendors we looked at and did not list are named, with the reason, on assessed but not listed.

The refusals are enforced in software

A content policy that lives only in prose erodes. Ours is enforced in three places, and all three have to pass before a page can ship.

In the data model. The field that records a tool’s position on clothing removal has exactly one legal value: not offered. There is no value that means “yes”. A tool with that capability cannot be described by our schema, so it cannot be saved as a listing, so it cannot be published. The same applies to our list of generation capabilities: the excluded ones are not options that are disabled, they are values that do not exist.

In the build. Every page we produce is scanned before it can be deployed. A term from the exclusion list appearing in visible text, an image caption, a link, a page title or the structured data fails the build. A second list of terms fails the build everywhere including this page, which is why this page describes what it refuses without using the vocabulary those tools market themselves with.

In review. Every listing carries an explicit human attestation, with a date, that it was checked against this policy. An attestation older than a year fails the build until somebody rechecks it.

Why this boundary and not another

Two reasons, and only one of them is ethical.

The ethical one is straightforward. A tool that turns a photograph of a real person into sexual imagery produces a harm to a specific identifiable individual who did not ask for it. Synthetic adult content produced from a text prompt does not. That is a real distinction and we are drawing our line on it.

The commercial one is that the excluded categories are the ones under active regulatory pressure, and a directory whose traffic depends on them inherits that pressure without any of the upside. Payment processors, app stores, ad networks and search engines have all moved against that category repeatedly. We would rather not be holding it.

That pressure is not hypothetical. In May 2026 the US Federal Trade Commission sent warning letters to twelve companies offering nudify tools, telling them they appeared to be failing their obligations under the TAKE IT DOWN Act. The FTC began enforcing that law on 19 May 2026. It requires a covered platform to give people a clear way to request removal of intimate imagery shared without their consent, and to act on a valid request within 48 hours. The letters asked for a compliance plan within 48 hours of receipt, and noted civil penalties of up to 53,088 dollars per violation.

We are not a covered platform in the sense that statute is aimed at, because we host none of the material it concerns. We built the removal request page anyway, on day one, on the same 48 hour clock.

No explicit media

ClickTug hosts no explicit images or video. Listings use vendor logos, interface screenshots, dashboards and feature screenshots. Our build rejects any image loaded from a host other than our own, and our content security policy blocks remote images at the browser level as well.

That means this site is safe to open at a normal zoom level in a normal room, which is not something most sites in this category can say.

There is no age gate and no advisory bar. Three age markers ran on every page until 10 September 2026, a chip beside the wordmark, a bar above the header and a second chip in the footer, and all three came off. Our own pages are not explicit, and labelling every one of them said something about this site that was not true of the pages themselves. What remains is the RTA label in the head of every page that links to an adult vendor, which is the signal consumer filtering software actually reads, and each listing stating the vendor’s content rules above the outbound link.

Listings are reviewed before they are published

Anyone can submit a tool. Nobody can publish one. A submission is a request that we look at something, and the review that follows reads whichever of the vendor’s own pages exist, the pricing page, the privacy policy, the terms, the acceptable use policy and any published position on minors, and then checks the public record: reporting, incident databases and independent testing concerning how the product has actually behaved.

A published minor safety policy was a precondition for being listed until 9 August 2026, and a published privacy policy, acceptable use policy and likeness clause were preconditions until 10 September 2026. None of them is one now, for a single reason: each graded documentation rather than conduct. A clothing-removal tool we refuse to list publishes a minor safety policy. A companion app we excluded on documented findings published one as well. Refusing to list an undocumented vendor protects nobody from it, it only hides the fact that the vendor is undocumented.

The rule that replaced all four is one line: refuse on conduct, disclose on documentation. Evidence that a product has generated sexual content involving minors, or people presented as minors, excludes it regardless of what its terms say, and so does every refusal listed above. What a vendor has not published is printed on its listing instead, with what we checked and the date we checked it, so a reader sees the absence rather than us acting on it silently. Being lenient about what a vendor publishes is not licence for us to assert anything we cannot source, and how ClickTug verifies a listing sets out the whole pass.

Report a listing

If a listing on this site is wrong, out of date, or crosses the boundary described above, tell us.

• Report a listing for factual errors, stale pricing, a capability change, or a policy concern.
• File a removal request if a listing concerns you personally, including if you believe a listed service has been used against you.

Removal requests are read by a person and are not filtered into a general inbox. We will tell you what we did.
