Describe an app. Whimlet builds it, and it runs on your phone a couple of minutes later. Not a mockup and not a template — a working app with its own screens, its own data, and access to the things that make an app useful. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE A tracker for splitting bills on holiday. A reading log. A tide clock. A checklist for a job only you do. The apps nobody writes because the audience is one person. REAL CAPABILITIES Apps you make can use the camera, your location, notifications, motion sensors, and storage — each behind a permission you grant, per app, and can revoke. CHANGE YOUR MIND Ask for a change in plain words. Whimlet edits the app rather than rebuilding it from scratch, so the parts you liked stay as they were and your data comes with you. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE The apps you make and everything you put in them live on your phone. We never receive them. CREDITS Whimlet runs on credits, and a subscription grants them monthly. Faster models cost fewer credits, stronger ones cost more, so you decide what each app is worth. If a build fails for a reason outside your control, the credits come back automatically. Whimlet is for personal projects and experiments. AI output is unpredictable — apps may contain mistakes, so don't rely on one for anything where an error would matter. Whimlet Starter is 7.99 USD per month and Whimlet Pro is 24.99 USD per month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
