App comparison

Attune vs. Attached

Both are grounded in attachment theory, but they point in different directions. Attached is a solo healing companion — an AI coach, journaling, and meditations for understanding your own patterns. Attune points outward, at the relationship: how to actually communicate across your and your partner's styles.

The short version

Attached is inward work — journaling, meditations, and an AI coach to heal your own attachment, brilliant whether you're single or partnered. Attune is relational work — the words, decoding, and repair skills for the person you're actually with.

The honest read

Where each one wins.

Choose Attune if…
  • You're navigating a live relationship and need help in the actual back-and-forth.
  • The problem is between two people, not just inside you — Attune models both styles and how they collide.
  • You want conflict skills, not only self-reflection: softened start-ups, decoding, repair.
  • You'd use real-history analysis to see your patterns over time.
Choose Attached if…
  • You're single or between relationships and want to heal your own patterns first.
  • You love journaling and meditation as your primary practice.
  • You want a personal AI coach focused entirely on your inner world.
  • Daily solo "quests" are the habit you're looking to build.

Doing inner work and navigating a partner aren't rivals — they're two halves of the same growth. Attached tends the roots; Attune tends the bridge.

Meet yourself, and your partner.
