Relationship Apps

In a world where we track our sleep, steps, and screen time, why not also track — and improve — how we relate?

Apps like Lasting and Paired are making relationship science more accessible than ever. These simple interfaces help couples ask better questions, listen more deeply, and grow emotionally together.

But let’s be clear:

These apps are not a replacement for therapy, especially when you’re navigating trauma, crisis, or long-term patterns of distress. What they are, however, is preventative medicine. Think of them as daily vitamins for couples who want to up their connection game and improve their relationship dynamic.

What you’ll find on these apps that’s helpful:

• Normalizing emotional check-ins

• Improving vocabulary around needs, preferences and boundaries

• Learning proven strategies from attachment theory and relationship science

• Building connection through curiosity, intimacy and reflective listening

Apps like these help us validate the idea that relationship skills are learned. That love - like any pursuit - is just as worthy of your time, effort and sophistication. So take a minute to try one out - see what you learn about yourself, your partner, and your relationship!
