A personal invitation from the founder

Couples therapy shouldn’t be this hard.

The cost. The scheduling. Finding someone you both trust. Meet LoveBug: an AI-powered app and home microphone for understanding your everyday conversations.

We’re looking for couples to try it. Together.

Free beta. Lifetime app access for both accepted partners.

Expensive sessions. Busy schedules.
A therapist who may not fit.

01

$250 for one session?

Some practices charge $250 an hour. Add time off work, travel, or childcare. The cost goes beyond the appointment.

02

Three calendars. One appointment.

Yours. Your partner’s. The therapist’s. Meanwhile, the conversations you need help with happen between visits.

03

Will they hear both sides?

Generic advice or feeling that someone has taken sides can make it hard to keep showing up.

Therapy helps many couples. These are barriers people describe. Fees vary. Fee example ↗

Why now

AI can now help you revisit
your real conversations.

Better speech recognition makes a new kind of support possible: return to a moment, see the words behind an insight, and follow your patterns over time.

What changed in the technology

See the words behind the insight.

See the conversation excerpt, who said it, and when. Moment replay lets you hear it again and decide what it means to you.

Illustrative content, not customer results. The current analysis uses words, not vocal tone or emotion.

Plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and agree to record. It captures conversations continuously until muted or stopped. Your moments and patterns live in the iPhone app.

We’re looking for couples to test LoveBug.

Try it at home. Help shape what we build.
  • Completely free beta participation
  • Free LoveBug app access for life—for both of you
  • A direct say in the insights and experience

For accepted beta couples. Lifetime app access excludes future hardware.

Leave your email and I’ll reach out to schedule a call. We’ll talk through the microphone, privacy, and what trying it together would involve.

No payment. A conversation first. Both partners decide whether to join.

Before you join.

Who is the beta for?

Adult couples who both want to participate and use iPhones. You don’t need to be in therapy. We’ll talk through the prototype, privacy, and the expected participation before you decide together.

Is it really free?

Yes. Beta participation is completely free. Accepted beta couples also get free LoveBug app access for life for both partners. Future hardware is not included in the lifetime offer. Applying doesn’t guarantee a beta spot; timing and availability will be discussed on the call.

Does the microphone record continuously?

Yes. After setup and consent, the V0 microphone records continuously until muted or stopped. It plugs into power and connects over home Wi-Fi. Recording from your phone is different: you start a session yourself.

What happens to our recordings?

The V0 sends audio to the service for processing; it isn’t entirely on-device. Before joining, you’ll get an explanation of what is captured, access, retention, and how to stop or leave. The app preview shows replay of individual moments, not a promised full-day archive. This website doesn’t record audio.

Is this therapy? Can it judge our relationship?

No. LoveBug is an early relationship-reflection product, not therapy or medical care. Current insights analyze words, not vocal tone or hidden motives. Per-pattern rates describe recorded conversations, not an overall relationship grade. AI can be wrong; whether these insights help is what the beta will test.

Can I give feedback without joining?

Yes. Open the anonymous survey below the signup form. It asks for no name or email and isn’t linked to your contact details. Leave identifying details out of your answers. Hosting providers may process standard request metadata, so we don’t promise complete technical anonymity.

Survey answers are private to the founder and LoveBug team. Emails are stored separately for follow-up, without a link to survey responses. Please leave identifying details out of feedback. Hosting providers may process standard request metadata.
