A small studio for real-time world data

Data you
can feel.

We turn public and licensed data — lightning, storms, tides, air — into apps that tell you the one thing that matters, right now, in a way you don’t have to decode.

1 · Distance

How far is it?

A single number, huge, tabular. No map to squint at, no legend to learn.

2 · Direction

Which way?

A compass that points at the storm. Hold up your phone and the arrow does the rest.

3 · The wait

How long to wait?

The 30-minute Hold restarts with every strike nearby — the rule most people don’t know, built in.

4 · Lock screen

Before you look.

Break-through alerts you tune with one slider. The warning arrives before the question does.

How we make things.

Six rules we won’t break — the first one matters most.

Silence is not safety

If the data stops, we say so. A missing feed is never drawn as “all clear.”

One number first

The answer, huge and tabular, before any chart or map.

Measure, never forecast

We report what was observed: distance, direction, trend. No guessed arrival times, ever.

Honest sources

Every number says where it came from and how old it is.

Calm by default

We only interrupt on state changes — never per strike, never for fun.

Motion is ambient

Animation adds feeling, never meaning. Reduce Motion keeps every fact.

One studio.
A growing family.

Each app is named for the thing it watches, so you always know what you’re getting.

Live now

Lightning

How far, which way, and when it’s safe. Break-through alerts you can tune from 1 to 12 miles.
