Oh, hi. Welcome to my art page 
Apart from Toyhouse, there are any other good websites where I can store my OCs? I prefer if they had an app version too...
I've heard about UnVail and CharacterHub- an honest opinion about those two?
(Ps. I just need it for having an organised OC folder,, I don't need to get followers there lol,, so i need to have a "private" function-)Aug 19, 2024

I used Refsheet.net for a while aaaages ago and it does have a very nice layout, but it's severely lacking on the character profile customisation end if you're the kind of person who likes coding fancy profiles. You CAN add detailed information about your character, but there's really only the one profile template.
It also doesn't have the gallery sorting like TH does, it's all on one page and doesn't have any tabs. Images are public by default and you have to manually edit them to be private afterwards. I'm not sure how character profiles work, but I believe they can be set to private as well.
All of this is a huge "last I checked", which was a few years ago, so it all might have changed. Sorry if this seems like I'm shitting on the site but it's nice for what it is and if you're not too worried about the customisation side of things
Iirc you don't need an invite code.

•I absolutely love character hub the amount of things you can edit and the organization is just amazing. It's also a very close community with only people that have ocs being able to join so it's very artist friendly. They also have little challenges you can join with either writing or drawing as well as a post feature so you can't only share your ocs but also normal art posts :3
Character Hub is also really amazing and offers similar edits for characters even of more limited. They also let you make an account easier without having to wait for getting accepted into the site so it's a bit easier to get started on there. I sadly don't use it myself that much so I can't tell you more about it but it seems very cool from what I saw :3

•I don't think any of them have app options, because they're usually fairly small teams. Apps also come with a bag of worms of having to deal with Apples insistence on No Adult Content 
.
I use characterhub myself. I think it's pretty simple to use and set up. There's no need to code anything. But the interface is pretty good, the website feels stable and I can see they're commited to improving it in the few months I've been using it. There's a good number of options for profile customisation, and there's no fields that HAVE to be filled out, or remain on the profile if left empty. I don't engage in the community, and largely that just means I get like... 2 favs on every character I make public and nothing else.
You can set characters to private and "unlisted", as well as drafts, and it stops them appearing on your profile. I'm just not sure if having one of those settings on messes with the "relationships" field. But you can always add as many blank text fields as you want
