Remember things — apps that save your data
Any app you build can store real data on your account: habits logged, budgets tracked, journal entries, game progress. Your stuff survives closing the app, phone restarts, even deleting and reinstalling Whip. And here’s the part people love: when you share an app, every player gets their own private copy. Your journal app can go viral and nobody — not even you, the creator — can read anyone else’s entries.Think — apps with their own AI inside
Apps can have a real AI chat built into them — streaming replies, multiple conversation threads with saved history, photo understanding, and even AI image generation (up to 4 images per reply). That unlocks a whole species of app:Companions & tutors
A Spanish-drill buddy, an interview coach, a bedtime-story narrator that
remembers where the tale left off.
Story games
Choose-your-own adventures where the AI plays dungeon master and
illustrates scenes as you go.
Creative tools
“Turn my photo into a watercolor”, avatar makers, filters, style
transfer — real AI image generation on demand.
Advisors
A wine-pairing consultant, a plant doctor you send leaf photos to, a
closet stylist.
Know things — live data from the internet
Apps can fetch live information from a curated set of about 40 safe, free public sources — weather, currency exchange rates, trivia, word definitions, museum art, Wikipedia, and more — so you can build a morning-briefing app or a currency converter that’s actually current. The full list of data sources lives here. For safety, apps can only reach that vetted list through Whip’s servers; they can never browse the open internet or send your data somewhere sketchy. Separately, the AI can research the web while building your app — ask for “a quiz about 2026 movies” and it looks up real 2026 movies, baking a fresh snapshot into the app.Sense the world — camera, location, mic, and motion
With your explicit permission, apps can use your camera (scavenger hunts, photo challenges), location (a “how far did I walk” tracker), microphone, and motion sensors (shake-to-roll dice, tilt-to-steer games). Every app must ask you first with a real Allow/Deny prompt, one app at a time — and you can revoke anything later in Settings → Permissions.Compete on leaderboards
Game-style apps can keep a high-score leaderboard that tracks each player’s personal best and ranks everyone who plays. Whip even notifies you when someone beats your score, so a solo game becomes a rivalry with the whole community. How leaderboards work.Look and feel like real apps
Under the hood, Whip gives the AI a serious toolkit — professional building blocks covering 3D and 2D graphics, real physics, sound and music, animations and visual effects, gestures, charts and data visualization, plus a dedicated game-building kit and proper fonts. The full menu, with names you can ask for (“build it with Three.js”), is on the APIs & libraries page. Apps can show native pop-ups, run full-screen, and behave like something you’d download — because they are real apps.What apps can’t do
Honesty corner: apps on Whip can’t be submitted to the App Store as standalone apps (they live inside Whip), can’t browse the open internet freely, can’t read your clipboard, and can’t touch your camera or location without asking. Those aren’t missing features — they’re the safety rails that make it safe to play a stranger’s creation.Related
