Pairs who traded gradually deeper questions felt much closer after 45 minutes than pairs who made small talk.
A new question for both of you, every day.
Something new keeps you close.2
Couples who did a new, engaging activity together felt more satisfied with their relationship than couples who did a familiar one.
A new question every day, and packs for every mood.
Feeling understood is the heart of it.34
Closeness grows when one partner opens up and the other responds with understanding and care.
A thread opens after every reveal, made for responding.
Little things add up.5
On days people felt appreciated by their partner, both felt more connected and satisfied the next day.
A good morning, a hug or a goodnight takes one tap.

Questions couples ask us.
Is Bonded free?
Yes. Bonded is free to download, and the daily question, your answers, the thread, little moments and your streak are always free. Some extras, like question packs and voice answers, come with Bonded Premium, an optional upgrade inside the app.
Who writes the questions?
We write them, drawing on decades of research into what brings couples closer. Then a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) reviews every single one before it reaches you.
Does my partner need the app too?
Yes, you each answer on your own phone. Download Bonded, then send your partner an invite link or a code. It takes about a minute.
Can we connect if one of us has an iPhone and the other has Android?
Yes. Bonded works on iPhone and Android, and couples can pair across the two. Each of you downloads Bonded from your own app store, then one of you sends the other an invite link or a code. Everything else works the same for both of you.
What if one of us misses a day?
Nothing bad happens. Bao and Bun just take a nap, and a new question is waiting tomorrow. No guilt, no nagging.
Who can see our answers?
Only the two of you. Your partner sees your answer only after they've answered too. You can delete your account and your data at any time.
Does it work for long-distance couples?
Yes. You both get the same question on the same day, wherever you are, and you can send a good morning or a goodnight across any distance.
If I pay for Premium, does my partner need to pay too?
No. One subscription covers you both. When either of you subscribes, you both get every Premium feature, even if your partner joins after you've subscribed.
What do I get with Premium?
Every question pack, your whole history (not only today and yesterday), voice answers and messages, longer answers, more hugs, kisses and goodnights, a streak saver for the odd missed day, and the full weekly recap.
What happens if Premium ends?
Nothing is deleted. You both keep the daily question and every free feature. Older days in your history lock again until you renew, and longer answers you already wrote stay readable.
How much is Premium, and can I cancel?
Plans and prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. You can cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
