## What is Whim?

A book that answers.

Think of a question. Open the book. The pages turn, they stop where they stop, and it says one thing.

That is the whole app. Three taps, no decisions, under fifteen seconds.

HOW IT GOES
Tap the book on the cover and it swings open. Pages riffle past and settle of their own accord. The answer surfaces onto the page word by word, out of the blur, and then the page is quiet.

Ask again for another, as many times as you like. Close the book when you are done.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
It never reads your question. There is nowhere to type one, and no keyboard anywhere in the app. Answers are drawn at random from a fixed set of lines written by hand.

No account. No sign in. No subscription. No notifications. Nothing is sent anywhere.

WHAT IT KEEPS
Every answer lands on a shelf you can look back through, and you can remove one or clear the lot. Sound and haptics each switch off, and the book is perfectly good with both off.

Answers are for entertainment.
