Connecting a toy

You do not need one. Most of the catalogue is audio and plays perfectly well with nothing connected. A haptic score is a layer some works carry on top, and when one does it says so on the card. This page is for when you do.

Where the button is: start something playing, and the player at the bottom of the screen grows a toy button. Pairing lives there rather than on a page of its own, because the player is the thing that outlives the page you are on. Pair once and it follows you around the site.

Which route do I want?

On an iPhone or iPad: The Lovense app. It is the only route that works there, and that is not something an update will change. Safari has never shipped Web Bluetooth on any iOS version, and on iOS every browser is Safari underneath.
On an Android phone: Bluetooth, in Chrome. It pairs straight from the browser exactly as a computer does, and nothing about your toy reaches this site. The Lovense app works too, if you would rather.
On a computer: Bluetooth first, in Chrome, Edge or Opera. If your toy is not in the list, or your browser has no Bluetooth, Intiface reaches the widest range of hardware there is.

The three differ in where your toy's commands travel. Bluetooth and Intiface stay on your own machine. Nothing about your toy reaches this site. The Lovense app relays them through Lovense's own service, on the creator's account with them. That relay is how it reaches an iPhone at all.

Works on any phone, iPhone included

You need the free Lovense Remote app, and your toy already paired to it.

A Ferality work page showing a QR code and a six-digit number, with the text: open the Lovense Remote app, tap scan, and point it at this code. — 1. Press the toy button on the player and pick **Lovense app**. This is what appears: a QR code and a six-digit number underneath it. Leave it on screen.

The Lovense Remote app home screen, with the plus button in the top right circled. — 2. In the **Lovense Remote** app, tap the + in the top right corner.

The Lovense app's scanner, pointed at the QR code on a laptop screen. — 3. Point the scanner at the code on your other screen.

A dialog in the Lovense app reading: authorise NextExGirlfriend to control your toys, with Cancel and Yes. — 4. The app asks whether to let that creator control your toys. Tap **Yes**. The name you see is the creator whose work you are about to play. If it is not the person whose page you are on, stop and tell me.

The Lovense app home screen showing a bar reading: toys controlled by NextExGirlfriend, with a Stop button. — 5. Connected. The app now shows a bar naming who is driving your toy, and a **Stop** button, which works at any moment and does not need this site's permission.

Go back to the work and press play.

The scanner will not read the code

Type it instead. In the scanner, tap Input the unique code at the bottom and enter the six digits shown under the QR.

A dialog in the Lovense app reading: input the unique code provided by the host, with a six-digit code typed in. — Same result as scanning. Useful when the code is on the screen you are holding, or when the camera cannot focus on it.

The widest reach, and it works in any browser

Intiface Central is a free app from the Buttplug project that talks to toys using its own Bluetooth stack. Two things follow from that, and they are the reasons to use it:

It knows far more hardware than a browser does: hundreds of toys across most makers.
It is a plain connection to an app on your own computer rather than a browser feature, so it works in Firefox and Safari too, which have no Web Bluetooth at all.

It needs a computer. Intiface Central is a desktop app, so there is nothing to run on a phone. On an Android phone use Bluetooth in Chrome; on an iPhone, the Lovense app.

Install Intiface Central from intiface.com/central for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Open it and press Start Server. It listens on ws://localhost:12345, which is the default and does not need changing.
In Intiface, scan for your toy and connect it there. Intiface keeps its own device list, and Ferality reads from it.
Back here: start something playing, press the toy button, and choose Intiface.

“Can't reach Intiface Central”

The app is not running, or its server is not started. Open Intiface and press Start Server. The button says Stop Server once it is listening.

“Intiface is running but has no toy connected”

Different problem, different fix: Ferality reached the app and the app has nothing paired. Scan for your toy inside Intiface first, then come back.

Ferality drives Intiface through the Buttplug protocol, the same one Intiface itself speaks. Nothing about your toy reaches this site.

Stopping

Three ways, any of which work on their own: press stop on the work, close the page, or hit Stop in the Lovense app. Nothing can drive your toy once the page is gone.
