Performance & System Requirements

Whorl runs in your browser and uses your computer's graphics chip (GPU) for real-time rendering. For smooth playback and responsive editing, we recommend:

  • Apple Silicon Mac, or Windows machine with recent CPU/GPU performance
  • 16 GB RAM
  • A modern browser with WebGL2
  • Hardware acceleration enabled
  • Chrome or Edge browser

Some older computers and entry-level GPUs may struggle with the Whorl app. If Whorl feels choppy, try closing heavy apps or tabs, reducing canvas size, and ensuring hardware acceleration is turned on.


Intel-based Macs are not recommended, as Canvas 2D performance is known to vary significantly and may be insufficient for smooth real-time use.

Screen Size

Whorl is designed for larger screens on desktops and tablets.

The minimum required viewport width is 768px. Phones do not provide enough space for the full experience.

Performance Test

The Whorl Trial is the best way to check compatibility. If it feels smooth and responsive on your setup, the full version will perform the same.
