Bonds is the relationship growth app backed by psychology. Most apps give advice you forget. Bonds gives you practice. Describe a real situation and our Simulator steps into your partner's role, so you can rehearse the hard conversation and get real feedback on how you come across. You don't need your partner to start. Insights arrive as short personalized videos, each day ends with one small action to try. Built with PhD psychologists using CBT, ACT, and Attachment Theory. 5 minutes a day.
Hey Product Hunt! š
Most relationship apps give you advice. Bonds gives you practice.
I built Bonds because I kept seeing the same pattern: people know what they should say to their partner, but fall apart the moment the real conversation starts. Knowing and doing are completely different skills, and no app was bridging that gap.
So we built the Simulator, our most-loved feature: describe a real situation, and Bonds steps into your partner's role. You rehearse the actual conversation, get feedback on your tone, empathy, and delivery, and finally understand how you come across, not just what you meant to say.
Everything is built alongside PhD psychologists and grounded in frameworks clinicians actually use: Gottman Method, CBT, ACT, and Attachment Theory. Not as buzzwords, but as the real engine behind each insight and daily action.
A few things that make us different:
š You don't need your partner to start. Most users begin alone.
š„ Insights come as personalized short videos, not generic text.
ā±ļø 5 minutes a day is genuinely all it takes.
We're at 10K+ users and a 4.8 App Store rating, and the messages from people saying Bonds changed a conversation they'd been avoiding for months, those keep us going.
What's a relationship conversation you've been putting off? Would love to hear. š¬
