## What is Whim?

every day, whim hands you one thing to do. a small, real, spontaneous act. you make the promise first ("it's my will"), scratch off the card to reveal it, then go do the thing. one a day. that's the whole bit.

it's the crazy friend who is proud of you. dry, warm, a little unhinged. the one who texts "go talk to the stranger" and means it kindly.

WHAT HAPPENS
- one whim a day, hidden until you commit to it
- scratch to reveal, then go live a little
- mark it done. honor system. we're not checking, and you'd never lie about a thing this small and this glorious
- your journal keeps everything you've actually done. proof you were here on purpose

PITCH AN ACT
got something unhinged? send it to the council. every user-pitched act is reviewed by a human before it ever reaches anyone. there's a report control on everything, zero tolerance for cruel or objectionable content, and acts that get repeatedly reported come down automatically.

THE HONEST PART (pricing)
your first whim is free. scratch it, do it, feel the thing. after that, the daily whim lives behind Whim+: $39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $4.99 a month. Whim+ includes the daily whim, your journal, and the 5 core packs.
- extra act packs and color themes are one-time purchases, on top
- $0.99 re-roll if today's whim isn't the one (fair-use daily cap)
restore purchases is supported. subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. standard Apple subscription and refund terms apply.

YOUR DATA
local-first, with an anonymous account so nothing's tied to your name. you can export everything and delete all of it, right in the app. we don't sell your personal data. payments are handled by Apple or Google.

A FRIENDLY WORD ON SAFETY
whims happen in the real world. use common sense. nothing illegal, unsafe, or cruel, ever. you choose what you do, and you're responsible for it. Whim isn't liable for your choices. be kind, stay legal, don't be weird about it (be weird about everything else).

flirty but mild.

i have free will. one day, everyone will.
