RunWhale is a phone-based coding workspace that lets users create or import compatible Web and Expo projects, ask an AI agent to edit them, and preview the results.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

RunWhale keeps project files and local development tools on the phone while connecting to a user-configured model provider for inference. Its documented loop is concrete: create or import a Web or Expo project, approve an agent edit, follow supported checks, inspect Git changes, and open Web or React Native Preview. The homepage illustrates the process with Animal Parade, a six-card Expo game, and Snake Sprint, which adds touch controls, pausing, and an obstacle mode.
