New to Whip, or deciding whether to download it? These are the questions everyone asks first — with straight answers. For build-specific questions head to the creating apps FAQ, and for data questions the privacy & safety FAQ.

​
The basics

Whip is a free mobile app where you describe an app idea in plain words and AI builds it into a real, working mini app — usually in about a minute. You can then edit it by chatting, keep it private, publish it to a community feed, share it with friends, or remix other people’s creations. The full tour lives at What is Whip?.
Yes — completely. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and nothing to unlock. Building has daily limits that are generous enough that most people never notice them, and they reset on their own.
iPhone and Android. Grab it from the App Store or Google Play. There’s no web or desktop version — Whip lives on your phone, and the apps you make run right inside it.
No — that’s the whole point. You describe what you want (“a plant watering reminder with a cute frog mascot”) and the AI writes all the code. You never see a line of it unless you go looking.
18 or older. Whip checks your age during sign-up, and under-18 accounts can’t be created. Details in age requirements.
Whip is built by Tensorfuse, Inc. You can find the team in the Whip Discord and on X, TikTok, and YouTube at @joinwhip.

Making and owning things

Trackers, calculators, games (with sound, effects, and leaderboards), quizzes, journals, AI companions with their own chat, tools that pull live weather or currency rates — see what apps can do for the full toolbox and prompt ideas for inspiration.
Usually about a minute or two. Ambitious, multi-feature apps can take longer. You don’t have to watch — Whip notifies you when it’s ready.
Not unless you choose. Every app starts private — only you can open it. It becomes visible to others only when you publish it or send someone a share link.
You make it, it’s yours to keep private, publish, or delete. Publishing shares it with the community — people can play it and remix it with automatic credit back to you. The fine print lives at whip.run/terms.
Yes. During sign-up, tell Whip you’re here to use apps rather than build them — the feed, search, and every shared link work the same. Most people end up building something eventually anyway. It’s contagious.
Remixing gives you your own editable copy of someone’s public app — their design and features as your starting point, your chat to make it yours. The original creator gets credit automatically. How remixing works.

​
Getting around

The feed has a personalized For You tab and a Trending tab, plus category filters. There’s also search for apps and creators, and a daily App of the Day notification worth keeping on.
Yes — share any app with a link so friends get their own copy to play, and if your app is a game, everyone can compete on the same high-score leaderboard.
On your Home screen — every app you’ve made or saved, arrangeable like your phone’s home screen, folders and all.
Whip ships every week. The changelog has the full history — recent highlights include leaderboards, feed categories, home-screen folders, and custom AI-designed app icons.
