How a remix works
Get your own copy, ready to build
You land in a fresh builder chat with your own copy of the app, pre-loaded
with its design, features, icon, and description. Nothing to set up — it’s a
running start, not a blank page.
Chat to make it yours
Now build on it the usual way: “make it a
dark theme”, “add a timer”, “change this to be about my city.” Each change
is yours, on your copy.
Publish when you're ready
Remixes always start private. Keep it just for you, or
publish it to the feed whenever it’s ready.
A remix starts its own conversation with the AI — you’re building on the app’s
design, not inheriting the original creator’s chat history.
Credit is automatic
You never have to credit anyone by hand — Whip does it for you. Your remix carries a “Remix of…” label naming the original app, linking straight back to it, so the source creator always gets recognition. And they’ll know: the original creator gets a notification when you remix their app, and another when your remix goes public.They get notified
The original creator hears from Whip when you remix, and again if you
publish your remix.
Everyone can see the lineage
Open any app’s Remixes tab to see the versions the community has spun off
from it.
Remixes power discovery
Remixing isn’t just fun — it’s the single strongest signal in the feed. A remix counts for roughly 3× a like when Whip decides what’s rising, so a much-remixed app climbs fast. When you remix something great, you’re helping that creator get discovered.A little remix etiquette
Remix culture runs on generosity, and it’s simple to be a good citizen:- Make it yours. The best remixes add a real twist — a new theme, a new audience, a new feature — rather than republishing a near-identical copy.
- Credit takes care of itself. You don’t need to add a shout-out; the “Remix of…” label already links back to the original.
