One Third Ceiling

Apps

Both of our first titles are in active family field-testing and headed for the App Store. Each one saves to an open, documented file format — see open formats for why that matters to us.

U&D Books in family testing

A family’s book library, kept the way toddlers actually live with books: shelved, unshelved, and wished-for. Photograph the covers, and the bookcase on screen becomes a little one’s own — a locked, hand-it-over Kid Mode shows just the covers on a warm wooden shelf.

The heart of it: family members record themselves reading a book aloud. A parent’s voice on the bedtime favorite, a grandparent’s on the book they always bring — played back at bedtime, on car rides, or from across the country. Book entries travel as gift files any family member can send and any device can keep.

Listista in family testing

A friendly keeper of the lists that follow a family around — checklists, rankings, collections, plans. Lists can be written by hand, or authored by any AI assistant in a plain documented format and imported with a tap. Progress, streaks, and gentle game modes make shared lists something a household actually keeps up with.

And beyond

Further tools — including professional and teaching applications — are in earlier development. Each will follow the same pattern: an open format first, and an app that makes it sing.
