The couples app for people who want more than trivia
Connected is a research-backed app for couples who are already together and want to feel closer. Daily questions, check-ins, quizzes, and real tools for working through conflict. Free to start on iPhone and Android.
What people mean by "couples app"
Search "couples app" and you'll find three very different things. There are dating apps wearing a couples label. There are cute trivia and date-prompt apps that are fun for a week and then sit unopened. And there's a small set of apps actually built on relationship research, which most people never come across.
Connected is the third kind. It's a complete toolkit for two people who are already together, built around what the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy have shown actually moves the needle. If you want one more app that pings you to rate your mood, this isn't it. If you want something that genuinely changes how you and your partner talk, keep reading.
The idea is simple: every feature has to earn its place by mapping to something research says matters. Daily questions work because asking is a small bid for connection. Quizzes work because seeing yourself clearly comes before changing anything. Conflict tools work because most fights repeat until someone names the pattern. That's the whole app.

Frequently asked questions
What is a couples app?
It's an app two partners use together to stay close: things like daily questions, mood check-ins, quizzes, and tools for working through conflict. Connected does all of that in one place, grounded in relationship research.
Is Connected free?
Yes, there's a free tier you can use forever: a daily question, mood check-ins, your Connection Score, starter question packs, and three assessments. Premium adds the full library and covers both partners on one subscription.
What is the best app for couples?
It depends what you want. If you're after the most complete, research-backed toolkit rather than a trivia game, that's what we built Connected to be. We compare the main options side by side further up this page.
Do both partners need the app?
Yes, it's built for two. You pair with your partner, and one Premium subscription covers you both. There's no separate purchase for each person.
Is this a dating app?
No. Connected is for couples who are already together. It doesn't match you with new people. It helps you get closer to the partner you already have.
Does it work for same-sex couples?
Yes. The questions, quizzes, and exercises are gender-neutral and work the same for any couple.
What if my partner won't use an app?
Start free with just the daily question. It's low pressure, and a lot of hesitant partners come around once they see it's actually about the two of you, not a generic feed.
Should I get the iPhone or Android version?
Either. Connected works the same on iPhone and Android, and you can pair across them if you're on different phones. There are dedicated pages for each above if you want the platform details.
