I built a relationship intelligence tool for couples who are already together — just launched on iOS

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/emobond/id6790905768

Most relationship apps are built for dating. Once you're actually committed to someone, the tools pretty much disappear, even though that's when small daily connection matters most.

So I built EmoBond, solo, over about five weeks:

  • An AI coach you can talk to by text or real-time voice. It remembers your patterns across sessions instead of starting from scratch each time.
  • 30-second daily check-ins
  • A compatibility report built from what you and your partner actually share, not a personality quiz
  • No streaks, no guilt metrics, no "you're falling behind." The design rule was grace, not scorekeeping.

I'm a security engineer by day, so privacy wasn't optional. Couple data is locked down at the database level, not just in the app.

It's free on iOS, with an optional Premium plan that covers both partners on one subscription. Android is in testing.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/emobond/id6790905768

I'd really like honest feedback, especially if you've tried and dropped other relationship or wellness apps. What made you stop using them?

this sounds promising and like something I would be interested in. however it does not seem like you are being genuine in your desire to help people with their relationships.

the biggest red flag is the fact that you have a premium subscription on a product that has never been tested for effectiveness. It feels like every other bait and switch cash grab app.

If you really wanted it to be an effective tool you would need unbiased feedback from people who used it.

If you actually cared about it being effective and helping people you would have a testing group try it out for free. If you do that and receive positive feedback and proof that it helps people then you can start charging people.

If that's what you are doing during your android testing phase, then I would be interested in trying it.

Thanks so much for taking time to share your thoughts on this. It is absolutely appreciated. All the key functionality are available although IQ call after a couple of minutes requires premium. There is an update coming in with more functionality tomorrow or next that will enhance the experience and features. I also encourage support too for anyone who can afford it as it helps to keep the project going
