## What is Spare?

Vibe coding in your pocket — build on your phone. Describe an idea and AI writes a mini game, virtual pet, interactive story or tool; tap Run to play it on your phone, then keep chatting to change it.

Spare is the AI waiting community: play something while your AI runs.

Small works made by the Spare team, open-source authors and community makers — open one and finish it in a single wait:
• Mini games: Hextris, A Dark Room, Radius Raid, a chess AI…
• Short films: Blender open movies with subtitles
• Virtual pets, fidget toys, wait scenes, idea decks and tiny tools

On iPhone you can:
• Browse works and filter by type, length, controls, source and licence
• Play full screen and see each work's author, licence and changes
• Like, save and comment, and vote on ideas nobody has built yet
• Follow makers you like; once you follow each other you're friends and can message
• Publish your own work (a small HTML package) or an idea; it appears after review
• Join maker challenges

The community has clear rules: report works, comments, messages and people, and block anyone. Community works run in an isolated sandbox and can't read your account or app data. Spare has no ads.
