01The brief
A trader wanted to stop watching screens and still know, in plain language, when something on a fixed watchlist moved. No promise of an edge: a disciplined alert feed with a journal that keeps score against itself — on the web first, then on the phone.
02What we built
Perch watches a fixed watchlist continuously and surfaces what is worth your attention in plain language, seconds after it happens. It is a discipline-and-journaling system built on a technical alert feed — not a promise of an edge. The iPhone app carries a four-step calibration before any permission is asked, a three-symbol watchlist, observation detail with evidence and weakening factors, Sign in with Apple, StoreKit subscriptions and APNs — all server-authoritative, failing closed on anything malformed. No red or green anywhere.

03Where it stands
Web product deployed and in beta; the iPhone app is a simulator-verified MVP shell with demo and production modes, not yet on the App Store. By its own measure, the top alert tier is not yet statistically distinguishable from chance — and the product says so.
