Strengthen your Relationships with the platoniq App
Reduce Loneliness and Stress
Do you miss the company of others?
Got no one to talk to after a stressful day?
You have probably already heard the advice: "go out and meet new people". As you might have already guessed, meeting new people alone won't solve your loneliness.
Persistent loneliness changes how you think. You start perceiving social situations as more threatening (scientists refer to this as hypervigilance). Your body starts releasing stress hormones. You feel threatened and exhausted.
A vicious cycle of negative thoughts develops. As it becomes increasingly harder to build and maintain deep relationships, loneliness and stress responses get worse. Which means that no matter how hard you try to build deep connections, your thoughts work against you.

Your thoughts when you're lonely
Your thoughts when you're not lonely
I'm not writing Anna that I want to meet up, because I don't want to burden her.
I must not annoy my friends with my feelings, because they'll leave me otherwise.
My friends can give me comfort and encouragement.
I'm unsure whether my friends really like me.
Of course my friends like me, otherwise they wouldn't be my friends.
My colleague Thomas made a stupid comment. I won't stop thinking about this all night.
Thomas must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. I'll tell him that his comment hurt me.
Sounds familar? You can change them
You can change your own thoughts. The most effective way to do this is through methods from behavioural therapy.
Our co-founder, Dr. Silvan Hornstein, has adapted the methods into simple exercises for the platoniq app.
The platoniq app helps you to address the cycle of negative thoughts directly, helping you strengthen your relationships and reducing loneliness and stress. Just 5 minutes a day is enough, or 30 minutes per week.
In a study conducted with Humboldt University in Berlin, 73% of platoniq users reported an improvement in their loneliness after just 4 weeks (note: this study only tested loneliness reduction. Another study measuring stress reduction is currently in planning).

"Platoniq has helped me to better assess my strengths and weaknesses in social situations, to overcome social challengesin a playful way through challenges, and to continue nurturing my existing relationships. It is an app that is very important in dealing with loneliness and has long been needed by society."
Phienaa, on
"A really good app for better understanding and reflecting on your social relationships. The individual learning modules encourage you to think more deeply about your own social skills and motivate you to form new relationships or nurture existing ones that are good for you. A great app for supporting your own social health."
Jo Hanna, on
"I have to say, I'm always a bit skeptical when an app tries to solve something that is obviously rooted in the real world. The same goes for many of these mental health apps. [...] I also tried Platoniq — and I have to say, it has kickstarted my social life. [...] The change doesn't come immediately, but after a few months I can clearly feel a difference. Recommend."
WorldWideWeb, on
"platoniq is a great app for thinking more consciously about relationships. All of this in a playful yet profound way. I have already been able to reflect on one or two of my own behavioral patterns."
Lucas, on
"The app helps me to reflect on my social behavior and align it more positively."
HorstSchmal, on
I had been feeling very lonely, and at first I thought it wouldn't help anyway, but after about 3–4 weeks I was much more energized, and then I also met my girlfriend. I recommend everyone try it for a month.
Shooper, on
"I took part in the study, found it really helpful, and I definitely feel less lonely."
Majus95x, on
"I was skeptical at first, but the exercises and tools triggered many processes in me that I find helpful for developing a new connection to my emotions."

Study proves:
73% feel less lonely after just 4 weeks
In collaboration with Humboldt University of Berlin, the platoniq app was evaluated as a tool against loneliness with more than 100 participants.
After just 4 weeks, 73% of participants experienced a reduction in their loneliness. The results were statistically significant (p < 0.01) with a meaningful reduction in loneliness (large effect, d ≈ 0.8).
This study only tested loneliness reduction. Another study measuring stress reduction is currently in planning.
