Why one small company is building two apps at once

Sensible advice says ship one thing. Readinity and Cyberinity share a premise, a data model and a definition of restraint — splitting them would have meant building both halves twice.

Readinity prepares you for rare physical events. Cyberinity tells you when something rare has happened to you online. On a pitch slide they look like two companies.

Underneath they're the same machine: watch for low-frequency, high-impact events; hold a readable picture of a person's situation; surface one clear next step at the moment it counts; collect as little as possible to do it.

That machine is most of the engineering. The household model, the local-first storage, the alert discipline, the writing standards for a message someone reads under stress — all shared.

The real cost is attention, and we're managing it honestly: Readinity is ahead, Cyberinity follows the privacy review, and neither ships on a date we announced before it was true.
