About
Why Align exists.
Align wasn't created by couple therapists. It was created by two French entrepreneurs convinced that the silent breakdown of post-baby couples deserves a product as rigorous as the apps that have transformed other areas of health.
Our role
Our role is not to replace a therapist. It's to make accessible, in a daily format sustainable for exhausted parents, what forty years of research in couple therapy, adult attachment and postnatal psychology has documented.
Who we draw on
Align's content explicitly cites eleven major scientific references: Esther Perel (long-term intimacy), John Gottman (Love Lab, 40-year longitudinal research), Brené Brown (vulnerability), Eve Rodsky (mental load, Fair Play), Boris Cyrulnik (resilience, attachment), James Cordova (Marriage Checkup), Carl Rogers (active listening), Sue Johnson (EFT), Daniel Kahneman (cognitive biases), Christophe André (shared presence), Anne Dufourmantelle (philosophy of risk).
Each module names its sources and offers a direct link to the researchers' work for those who want to go deeper.
Our product approach
We made four choices that shape the experience.
A program over time, not a one-shot.
90 days, 5 minutes a day, 12 modules. The transformation of a postpartum couple doesn't happen in a weekend retreat — it happens through the accumulation of daily micro-decisions.
A one-time payment, not a subscription.
Pay once, lifetime access. We don't want cost to become a barrier to staying engaged for the long run, and we don't want to live off forced retention.
A format adapted to postpartum exhaustion.
No long sessions, no therapeutic jargon, no performance pressure. Five minutes a day, at your pace.
Personalized AI guidance.
For specific questions that generic content can't address, an assistant trained on the program and accessible in conversation.
What Align doesn't claim to be
Align is not couple therapy. If you are going through a major crisis (considering separation, unresolved infidelity, chronic verbal abuse), Align can be a useful support but does not replace work with a professional.
Align is not a promise of happiness. Research in couple psychology (Daniel Gilbert, Daniel Kahneman) shows that humans poorly predict their future happiness. Our goal is not to make you happier — it's to help you cross the next 90 days with more lucidity, more tools and more words to name what you're going through.
