Dating app? Nope. Couples therapy? Nuh-uh. Lovewick is a couples app with exploratory questions, date ideas, and research-based relationship goals to help you and your partner grow and stay in love, without it feeling like “work”.
Hello Product Hunt! I’m Ali, and I'm a first-time solo founder with a background in Human Behavioral Biology (Stanford) & Service Design (Royal College of Art).
I launched Lovewick because good relationships and marriages aren't just nice to have, folks! Research shows that the quality of our interpersonal relationships is more predictive of a long, happy life than social class, IQ, or even genes (Harvard Study of Adult Development). I saw a world full of dating apps to help us find love, but very little aside from therapy to help us keep it. Thus, the seed for Lovewick was planted! :)
Furthermore, I'm so fascinated by modern love. In the US, we are getting married later or not at all, and there are more dual income, intercultural, interracial, long-distance, and LGBTQ+ couples than ever before. It's an exciting time, full of new opportunities as well as new challenges. That's why I've interviewed more than 100 couples (living together and long-distance, straight and queer, from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds) in my attempt to make a playful, inclusive, valuable product that helps all couples grow and stay in love.
I welcome any feedback, and thank you for your support!
P.S. Though the public launch is US and iOS only, we'd love Android users to sign up on our website for early access (ready for testing early 2021), or if you’re iOS but outside the US (and you're ok that some of the content is US-centric), it'd be awesome if you tried Lovewick through Apple TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/joi.... Here's a video demo of the product, regardless, so you have an even clearer idea of the product:
Thanks for your support!

@alimagg I used the prototype and it was already engaging, love to see the progress! Great concept
@jake_ayala Thank you! Yea, from the web based prototype with 100 generic Qs this time last year to a proper iOS app now is really exciting. Appreciate your support!
@nikosmela Glad to hear it! Thank you for giving it a go!

Lovewick is amazing! It has a very user-friendly design and is fun to use with friends, family, and my partner! It is obvious how much time and research went into making this fabulous product! Highly recommend!
@kelly_mckenna2 Thank you for noticing the little things! As a scientist, you'd probably appreciate that about 1/3 of the "relationship goals" in the product are research-based and even cite a specific study 🤓
My partner and I both loved using Lovewick. It’s science-backed and thoughtful, but most of all fun and led to deeper conversations than we would have had on the day to day. I recommend it!
@kerry_wang I'm so glad to hear that the element of fun is front and center! Thank you so much for the review :)

Lovewick is a great experience. It’s very accessible and doesn’t demand too much time to get good results. My partner and I frequently turn to Lovewick if we find ourselves with 5 spare minutes on hand. Thanks for developing such a great product!
@taylor_mcadam Thank you! Yea, a question card can take 30 seconds or sometimes 30 minutes; depends on your mood, the question itself (some are deeper than others), and the context. Glad you're enjoying!
