WCIU vs 10 Second App

The U is Chicago’s home for great television entertainment with TV favorites such as Judge Judy, Seinfeld, Judge Mathis, our original news magazine show, On The Block and local sports coverage like Game of the Week and Chicago Sky women’s basketball games.

10 Second App turns a short spoken or typed idea into a tiny playable web game or silly one-off app. Say something like "a game where a taco dodges falling limes" and play it in Safari moments later. Make dumb little games, joke apps, party spinners, fortune tellers, and other tiny toys, then share the link so friends can play too. Open the app, record for up to 10 seconds or type instead, review the idea, and build. Every generated result is hosted as a public web toy, appears in Fresh for anyone to find and play, and opens in full Safari. Your creations stay available in My Apps on the same device, where you can reopen, share, copy, report, or delete them. Generated apps are web artifacts, not native apps. They do not receive native iPhone permissions, provider credentials, or direct database credentials. You may optionally attach one source photo while creating or remixing an app, and some generated web apps may ask you to choose or capture a source photo in Safari for a requested image action. 10 Second App is for fun. It is not a business tool: it is not intended for business workflows, bookkeeping or accounting, regulated professional advice, sensitive records, or operational decisions. Treat everything you make here as a public plaything, not dependable software for running a business or other serious activity. V1 has no accounts, no subscriptions, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Fresh is a chronological list of public creations, not a social network.
