What Kyra is
A privacy-first trading journal for iOS. Trades stay on-device. Pattern detection runs locally as classical statistical inference — Bayesian inference, Fisher's exact test, and multiple-comparisons correction. Every claim the engine surfaces ships with its sample size and an uncertainty range. The architecture is explained on The math behind Kyra and Security.
Free includes unlimited trade logging and your single strongest detected pattern. Premium adds every pattern Kyra finds and the adaptive pre-trade checklist. $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr after a 7-day trial.
Who is building Kyra
Kyra is a product of Neon Tiger Labs LLC, a California limited liability company. The studio ships small, opinionated tools — Kyra is the first publicly released product. The team is intentionally compact: small enough to commit credibly to no servers, no accounts, and no advertising, and to keep those commitments through every shipped release.
Studio name origin: a tiger that runs on neon. Sober mechanism, occasional visual swagger. The same posture applies to the products.
Why this product, and why now
Three observations shaped Kyra:
- The trading-journal category had pivoted toward LLMs. Most apps in the lane either added a chatbot or rebuilt around one. Chatbots are confident; chatbots are also unaccountable. A trader who acts on a chatbot's verdict cannot audit how the verdict was reached.
- Trade history had become someone else's database. Cloud journals require accounts and servers. Servers can be breached, subpoenaed, or used for analytics monetization. A trader's history is an unusually intimate dataset; Kyra is built so the company does not store it.
- The category had stopped doing math. "Patterns" routinely surfaced without sample sizes. "AI insights" routinely surfaced without methods named. A trader who couldn't tell if a pattern was real was being given the appearance of analysis without the substance.
Kyra is the response. Classical statistical inference, named methods, sample sizes on every claim, on-device, no accounts, no advertising. The architecture is the product.
What Kyra refuses to be
Six commitments, named explicitly on Manifesto. The short list:
- Not a broker
- Not a recommendation engine
- Not an LLM coach
- Not gamified
- Not social
- Not a surveillance product
Each absence is a defense. Together, these choices keep trade history private by design. The reasoning for each commitment is on the manifesto page.
How Kyra is funded
Subscriptions. $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr after a 7-day free trial. The free tier is funded by Premium subscriptions, not by selling attention or data. Kyra is enrolled in the Apple Small Business Program, which means Apple takes 15% of the subscription rather than the standard 30% — the savings stay with the developer, which extends the runway to keep the product sober and the architecture intact.
No venture funding, no advertising integrations, no data partnerships. Subscription revenue is the only input. That keeps the incentive structure clean: the only way the product wins is if traders keep finding it useful enough to renew.

The product is small because the architecture is small. The studio is small because the product is small. The commitments are explicit because the alternative is drift. Each of these is a design decision, not an accident.
