Context
Torvii is a consumer app in Tolaron's portfolio, built for a global audience, where we learn how a product finds and keeps its readers, from the store listing to the daily habit, in a category with no sales cycle. The app speaks English and Czech.

Problem
Most horoscope apps are generic text with a star sign on top. Torvii computes the actual sky first: a chart engine works from real ephemeris data, and the reading is generated from what the planets are doing that day.

Constraints
Readings are generated by AI and the app says so, as the EU AI Act asks. The app makes no personalisation claim a generated reading cannot keep, and it never presents the paid tier as something to buy before it is on sale.

Role
An owned product, designed and built by Tolaron.

Solution
An Expo app with the chart engine shared with the marketing site: a daily reading, a journal, transits, a natal map and a two-chart comparison. Readings are prepared ahead of time on a shelf, so the app opens to today's text instead of a spinner. The marketing site's screenshots are captured from the real app by a script, never mocked.

Outcome
In development. The free daily reading and the chart screens exist; the paid tier is in the app but not on sale. Store listings are written in both languages and held to the same rules as the app.

Technology
Expo and React Native for the app, Next.js for the site, Supabase and Postgres, a shared TypeScript chart engine, and Bun scripts for content and store listings.
