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.
