Why we built Sit Together
We've spent a decade studying what actually helps couples — and learned that the biggest breakthroughs happen when two people are sitting across from each other, not two screens apart.
We built the app that started it all
Our team invented the concept of couples healing through an app. We built and launched Lasting, the most successful couples counseling app of its kind, scaling it to 5 million couples — and by our own estimates, helping keep roughly 50,000 relationships from ending in divorce.
But something was missing
Lasting worked because it gave couples real tools grounded in real research. But it also relied on asynchronous work — each partner tapping through exercises on their own time, not necessarily sitting side by side. Again and again, we saw that the moments that mattered most were the ones spent facing each other, not the moments spent alone with a phone.
So we built something meant to be shared
The same team set out to build a new kind of app — one designed from the ground up for two people sitting down together, face to face. Every part of Sit Together, from the pacing to the prompts, is built around that one idea: the conversation happens between the two of you, not between each of you and your phone.
Not a business plan. A moment we felt we had to meet.
We're not building this to build a big business. We're building it because face-to-face time is slipping away, especially at home, in the era of AI and endless screens — and that time, especially within family, matters more now than ever. Subscriptions cover what it costs to run Sit Together: the servers, the product, the small team that keeps building it. Nothing more.
