NEWPORT BEACH, CA, February 10, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- RTHMS today announced the launch of a new category of consumer technology: behavioral compatibility, a system designed to connect people based not on who they say they are, but on how they actually live.
While traditional dating apps rely on static profiles, photos, and self described traits, RTHMS operates on a fundamentally different premise: real compatibility is revealed through real world behavior over time. Daily routines, movement, wellness habits, food choices, travel patterns, and lifestyle rhythms become meaningful signals for connection.
Rather than freezing compatibility at a single moment, RTHMS reflects how people’s lives actually unfold.
At the core of the platform is a proprietary translation layer that converts real world behavior into Habit Tags: dynamic, high level compatibility signals that reflect how someone lives without exposing raw data or personal details. These signals update continuously, allowing compatibility to evolve naturally as behavior changes.
By translating lived behavior into Habit Tags, RTHMS makes compatibility observable rather than speculative, reducing misalignment and improving the quality of human connection.
RTHMS launches with dating as its primary use case, where misalignment is most visible and costly. At the same time, the platform is built for non daters from day one, offering compatibility insight and self alignment even for users who are not actively seeking romantic relationships. Dating is the entry point, not the ceiling.
Privacy and security are foundational to RTHMS’s architecture. The platform operates as a filtering layer, translating behavioral inputs into Habit Tags without storing raw personal data. Underlying source data is anonymized, abstracted, and discarded after processing. RTHMS does not sell personal data, does not create advertising profiles, and does not rely on invasive data retention models.
RTHMS was founded by Jason Winkler and is supported by early stage backers and advisors with experience across consumer technology, culture, wellness, and brand building.
RTHMS is currently in pre-launch. The app will be available for download on the Apple App Store on February 14, when users can join a limited waitlist for the RTHMS Beta. Beta access will roll out on a controlled basis.
