Hey everyone,
Appreciate everyone following along — and for those who’ve replied, I read every message.
I wanted to share a quick update because this week marks one of the biggest milestones in the history of OnTheCouchStudio.
For years, OnTheCouchStudio has been built through late nights, weekends, learning new skills, testing ideas, creating products, and slowly building toward a much larger vision.
This week, one of those major projects officially entered its next phase.

OC9 FOUNDER ROLLOUT HAS BEGUN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After more than a year of development, testing, validation, rebuilding, and refinement, OC9 has officially entered Founder Rollout.
For the first time, real founders are onboarding and using the platform.
Not simulated users.
Not internal testing.
Real people.
That is a huge milestone.
The goal right now is not rapid growth.
The goal is controlled growth.
Small group.
Real feedback.
Continuous improvement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IS OC9?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OC9 is automation software designed to help users execute predefined cryptocurrency trading strategies through their own Kraken exchange account.
The software focuses on:
• Automated trade execution
• Risk management systems
• Portfolio monitoring
• Guided onboarding
• Educational assistance through Luna
• Rules-based decision making
• Capital protection controls
The objective is simple:
Help remove emotion from execution while maintaining transparency, discipline, and user control.
OC9 is software.
It is not financial advice.
Markets involve risk and losses can occur.
Users remain in control of:
• Their exchange account
• Their capital
• Their decisions
Current Founder access includes:
• 30-Day Free Trial
• Founder Pricing ($4.99/month)
• Direct feedback during rollout
The initial Founder group is intentionally limited while onboarding and support systems continue to mature.
OC9 is currently available directly through the website:

LIFEFUSED IS NEXT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
While OC9 enters rollout, development continues on what has always been one of my largest long-term projects:
LifeFused.
LifeFused is an all-in-one personal growth and life management platform currently in development.
The goal is to bring together many of the tools people often use separately into one connected experience.
Planned areas include:
• Health & Wellness
• Fitness & Exercise
• Habits & Goal Tracking
• Budgeting & Finance
• Productivity & Planning
• Journaling
• Home Organization
• Travel & Lifestyle
• AI Assistance
• Personal Development
Instead of using multiple apps for different parts of life, LifeFused is being built to help users manage and improve those areas from a single platform.
Current target:
👉 Beta Testing Begins This Summer
👉 Planned Initial Launch: September 1, 2026
LifeFused is being built for:
• Apple App Store
• Google Play Store
and will continue growing through beta and beyond.

THE BIGGER VISION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When I started OnTheCouchStudio, the goal was never just to build one app.
The goal was to build useful tools.
Tools that help people learn, create, organize, automate, improve, and hopefully build a little more freedom in their lives.
OC9 is one piece of that vision.
LifeFused is another.
And there is much more still to come.
For the first time, though, those ideas are becoming real products being used by real people.
That is incredibly exciting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THANK YOU
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
To everyone who follows along, shares feedback, tests software, reports bugs, purchases products, reads newsletters, or simply watches the progress:
Thank you.
Every message.
Every comment.
Every bit of support.
It all matters more than you probably realize.
We're still early.
There is still a tremendous amount of work ahead.
But we're moving forward.
And that's what matters.
— Chris
