# Whop Apps

> Ship an app that thousands of Whop businesses can install from the App Store.

A Whop app installs into a creator's community and runs inside it. Thousands of businesses already taking payments on Whop can install yours from the App Store, and Whop handles sign-in, billing, and mobile.

## What you can build

* **Courses and cohorts** members work through without leaving the community they bought into.
* **Live experiences** like events, chat-native games, and leaderboards that run against real membership.
* **Market data and trading tools** that stream to a paid audience.
* **Operational tools for the creator**, covering analytics, moderation, fulfillment, and onboarding.
* **Software you already sell**, listed as a Whop app to businesses already making money there.
