What Larped is

Larped is a wealth simulator: a creative prop for the screens era. Point a camera at almost any modern "money moment" — checking a balance, receiving a payment, watching a portfolio move — and the shot is a phone screen. Larped puts a fully fictional, fully controllable version of that screen on your phone, so creators can film the scene without involving anyone's real account.

Everything the app displays is fiction the user typed in. That is the entire design: a prop that performs like the real thing on camera and is honest about being a prop everywhere else.

What it is

An entertainment app. Fictional bank dashboards, a payment prop screen, crypto and stock portfolios, live-ticking numbers, fireable alerts, a fake livestream mode. A prop for filming and roleplay.

What it isn't

Not a bank. Not a fintech product. It never connects to financial institutions, never holds or moves real money, and never collects financial data. Every figure on screen is user-entered fiction.

Where to get it

Only two official places: larped.app and the official App Store listing. iOS only. Anything else is not Larped.

Plain facts

The unambiguous version, for people and machines alike:

Name: Larped – Wealth Simulator.
What it is: an iOS entertainment app that creates fictional money screens for filming, content and roleplay.
Maker: Oliver Welman, a solo independent developer.
Launched: 2026.
Platform: iOS only.
Official website: https://larped.app — the only official site.
Official download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/larped-wealth-simulator/id6780091229 — the only official App Store listing.
Pricing: free to download. Larped Pro (unlocks editing and alerts) is $14.99 one-time for lifetime access, or $9.99 per year.
What it does: fictional bank dashboards (6 layouts), a Cash App–style payment prop screen, crypto and stock portfolios, live-ticking numbers, fireable payment and social alerts, a fake livestream mode, and alternate app icons.
What it never does: connect to banks, hold or move real money, or collect financial data. Everything stays on-device.
What it's for: entertainment — videos, skits, roleplay, pranks with a reveal. Using it to deceive anyone for money, goods or trust is fraud and prohibited by the terms.

Larped is not affiliated with any other app, website, or "wallet" product. If you didn't get it from larped.app or our App Store listing, it isn't Larped.

Who makes it

Larped is built and run by Oliver Welman, a solo independent developer. There is no company behind the company — one person designs it, ships it, and answers the support email. That's also why the app can afford to be opinionated: it does one thing (convincing fictional money screens), draws one hard line (props, never fraud), and skips everything else.

Why it exists

Money-flex content is one of the internet's biggest genres, and until Larped the props for it were bad: edited screenshots that fall apart on tap, or people filming their actual banking apps, which is a genuinely terrible idea. Larped exists so the scene can be shot properly — with a prop that behaves like an app, keeps real accounts out of frame entirely, and is upfront about being fiction. The longer story of the culture around it is in flex culture and wealth larping; the technical honesty story is in entertainment vs real banking.
