what is whim?
Whim is a side quest app for iPhone and Android. Every day it deals you one sealed card with one small, real thing to do off your phone. Scratch it off, go do it or pass, and it lands in a private log of everything you actually did.
the kind of thing on a card
- ask a librarian what they'd read if they had a free week
- go to the top floor of a building you've never been inside
- draw the view from your window without looking at the page
- find out what the oldest building you can walk to used to be

questions
- how much is it?
- Whim starts with a free trial. After that it's a subscription, and the App Store shows the price in your currency.
- is it on android?
- Yes. iPhone and Android, in English, Spanish and French.
- what kind of side quests?
- Small and real. Go outside, make something, notice something, say the thing you were going to say. A few are slightly unhinged. You can pass on any card.
- why one a day?
- Because a day with one thing you chose in it is easier to remember than ten identical ones. The rest of the day is yours.
