In our 6-week program, you’ll learn to recognize and change your relationship patterns and build genuine connection. Developed by psychologists.
Most people think: “To feel less lonely, I just need to meet more people.”
So they join clubs. Swipe through dating apps. Endure networking events.
Always new faces, yet the feeling of loneliness stays.
Why?
Because you believe loneliness comes from the outside. But it actually starts within.
Studies show that more social contacts don’t automatically mean less loneliness [1] [2].
You can go to 10 parties a month and still feel empty.
You can have 200 contacts in your phone and no one to truly talk to.
Loneliness stems from ingrained patterns of thought and behavior that sabotage you from the inside.
Only when you create space for closeness can real relationships grow.
And that’s exactly what platoniq does in just 5 minutes a day, all in one app.
"Platoniq helped me better assess my social strengths and weaknesses, playfully master social situations through challenges, and continue maintaining my existing relationships well. It is an app that is crucial for dealing with loneliness and something society has needed for a long time."
"A really good app for better understanding and reflecting on your social relationships. The individual learning units encourage you to think more deeply about your own social skills and empower you to build new relationships or nurture existing ones that are good for you. A great app to support your own social health."
"platoniq is a fantastic app for thinking more consciously about relationships. It does this in a way that is playful yet profound. I’ve already been able to reflect on quite a few of my own behaviors."
"Platoniq [...] kickstarted my social life. Every now and then there's a small lesson that encourages thinking and reflection, and you can feel your own behavior adapting. The change isn't immediate, but after a few months, I clearly feel a difference. Highly recommend."
"The app helps me reflect on my social behavior and take a more positive approach."
"My relationship garden is growing and growing :), the learning units are great, and realizing just how much good social contact does creates real awareness."
