The best Whip prompts say what you want and who it’s for, name a vibe, and ask for one set of features at a time. You don’t need to be technical or thorough — the AI fills in sensible defaults, and you refine from there. Below are the principles, before-and-after examples, and a big gallery of ready-to-paste ideas.

​
Principles that make a difference

“A chore tracker for my three roommates” shapes the app far more than a paragraph of instructions. Naming the people (your D&D group, your gym buddy, your kids) tells the AI what to prioritize.
Two words of mood go a long way: “cozy and pastel,” “retro arcade,” “clean and minimal,” “neon cyberpunk.” If you skip it, the AI picks a look for you — which is fine, but naming it gets you closer, faster.
Ask for the core thing first, then build up. “A habit tracker” now; “add streaks and a weekly chart” next. Cramming ten features into one message makes it harder for the AI to nail any of them.
Whip is built for back-and-forth. A short first prompt plus a few edits in chat beats one giant prompt almost every time — and each edit becomes a version you can revisit.
A screenshot of a look you love, a sketch, or a photo of your data helps the AI match colors, layout, and content. You can attach up to 5 files per message.
Prompts can run up to 5,000 characters, but shorter and specific usually beats long and vague. Say the essentials, then shape the rest by chatting.

Weak to strong: three examples

Example 1 — a tracker
  • Weak: “Make a water app.”
  • Strong: “A daily water tracker for me. Let me tap a glass icon to log each cup toward a goal of 8, show my streak, and use a calm blue, minimal look.”
Example 2 — a game
  • Weak: “A fun game.”
  • Strong: “A one-tap arcade game where a paper plane dodges falling staplers. Speed up over time, keep a high score, and give it a bright retro-office vibe with sound effects.”
Example 3 — a group tool
  • Weak: “Something for my friends.”
  • Strong: “A ‘where should we eat’ spinner for my friend group. Let us add and remove restaurants, spin a wheel to pick one, and celebrate the winner with confetti. Playful and colorful.”
Notice the pattern: what it is + who it’s for + key features + a vibe. That’s the whole recipe. Stuck on what to build? Steal any of these — paste one into the builder and tweak it from there. They’re grouped by Whip’s 7 categories.
  • “A workout logger where I pick exercises, log sets and reps, and see my personal bests. Clean and motivating.”
  • “A 7-minute workout timer that talks me through each move with a countdown and a rest beep.”
  • “A step-challenge tracker for me and two friends with a shared leaderboard for the week.”
  • “A stretching routine picker: choose a body area, get a guided sequence with timers.”
  • “A ‘what should we watch tonight’ spinner where we add movies and it picks one with a drumroll.”
  • “A trivia game about 90s pop culture with 4 rounds, scoring, and a final leaderboard.”
  • “A random-fact button that shows a surprising fact each tap, in a bold magazine style.”
  • “A karaoke lyric prompter where I paste lyrics and they scroll at a speed I set.”
  • “A memory match card game with a cute animal theme, a move counter, and a best-time record.”
  • “A tap-the-target reflex game that gets faster over time and keeps a high score.”
  • “A dice-roller for tabletop games: choose how many dice and sides, roll with a shake.”
  • “A word-guessing game where I get 6 tries and color hints, minimal and clean.”
  • “A recipe box where I save recipes with ingredients and steps, and search them. Warm and homey.”
  • “A meal-planner for the week with a drag-to-fill grid and an auto grocery list.”
  • “A tip and bill splitter for a group: enter the total, split by people, round up. Simple and fast.”
  • “A daily gratitude journal with a soft, calming design and a streak counter.”
  • “A password-strength checker that rates what I type and suggests improvements, in a techy dark look.”
  • “A unit converter for length, weight, and temperature with a clean, quick layout.”
  • “A QR-code maker where I paste a link and get a code I can save.”
  • “A color-palette generator that shows five matching colors with copyable codes each tap.”
  • “A skincare-routine tracker for morning and night with checkboxes and a streak.”
  • “A mood journal where I tap an emoji, add a note, and see my week as a colorful chart.”
  • “An outfit-of-the-day log where I describe or photograph a look and browse past ones.”
  • “A breathing exercise with a calming animation that guides inhale, hold, and exhale.”
  • “A simple expense tracker: log spends by category and see a monthly total and pie chart.”
  • “A savings-goal tracker with a progress bar and a little celebration when I hit it.”
  • “An interview-prep flashcard app where I flip cards with common questions and my notes.”
  • “A freelance rate calculator that turns an hourly rate into project and monthly estimates.”
