Apps on Whip — especially games — can keep a high-score leaderboard. It tracks your personal best on that app, ranks you against everyone else who plays it, and Whip sends you a notification if someone later beats your score. It’s the friendly, competitive layer that turns a solo game into a rivalry with the whole community.

​
How leaderboards work

A leaderboard remembers your best result on that app. Beat your own record and it updates; a worse run leaves your best untouched. So you can keep playing without fear of “ruining” a good score.
Each app has a single leaderboard. Even as the creator ships new versions, scores roll into the same board — so the competition carries on across updates.
Points, fastest time, longest streak — the app defines what counts, and whether higher or lower wins. A speed-run can rank low-to-high; an arcade game high-to-low.
Set a great score and hold the top for a while? If someone later beats it, Whip sends you a notification — your cue for a rematch.
A leaderboard is open to everyone who plays that public app — friends and strangers alike. Your entry is your own personal best. Playing an app you made doesn’t game its stats, and your scores live on the board, not in anyone else’s private copy of the app.

​
Add a leaderboard to your own app

You don’t set anything up by hand — just ask for it while you build or edit in chat:

Describe the score

Tell Whip what to track: “add a high-score leaderboard for fastest lap time” or “keep a leaderboard of total points, highest first.”

Whip wires it up

The AI adds the board, the score submission, and the ranking display for you — no code, no setup.

Publish and let the rivalry begin

Once you publish, everyone who plays your app competes on the same board.
Leaderboards pair beautifully with a great highlight reel — a clip of a nail-biting high score is the kind of thing people tap to play, then tap to remix.
