The system

Three layers of intelligence.
One honest match.

Attune doesn't match you on a face. It builds a picture of how you actually respond to the world — then finds someone who resonates with that.

Layer 01 — Your profile

01
🎯

Tell us what you're looking for

Relationship intent, lifestyle, personality traits, dealbreakers. This is the primary filter. Attune only shows you people who are genuinely compatible at the foundations before emotional analysis begins.

02
📷

Calibration baseline

A 30-second neutral face capture before any stimuli. This sets your personal baseline — the emotional starting point everything else is measured against. No expression required. Just you, natural.

03

Rate what you see

You watch short standardised clips and mark each one: like, neutral, or dislike. This labels your emotional data. The system maps what your face does to what you actually feel — not an assumption.

Layer 02 — Emotional response profiling

04
👁

44 Action Units, read in real time

EchoDepth analyses 44 facial muscle movements across every clip — but it records more than a snapshot. Timing, intensity, duration, and recovery are all captured. How fast you respond matters. How long it lasts matters.

05
📊

Your emotional fingerprint

Valence, Arousal, and Dominance across time — not a single number. An emotional trajectory for each stimulus. Processed on-device. Never stored raw. An anonymised response profile is what travels to our servers.

06
🔍

Profile-first matching

Attune filters by your profile compatibility first, then refines within that pool using emotional response similarity. Facial data is a signal — not the decision. The decision is yours to make, in a real conversation.

Layer 03 — Interaction analysis

07
📹

Video date, in-platform

No Zoom link. No Teams invite. Attune hosts your first date inside the app — a private, two-person video environment. Both people explicitly consent to analysis before it begins. How video dates work →

08
🔒

Private feedback, double-blind

After every date, each person privately answers one question: second date, yes or no? Neither response is revealed until both say yes. No pressure. No awkward rejection. No games.

09
📈

The system gets smarter

Every date teaches Attune what mutual interest actually looks like — in AU patterns, conversation balance, emotional synchrony. Accuracy improves not through assumption, but through labelled real-world outcomes.

Why Attune

Dating apps are broken.
We fixed them.

Other apps let you craft a perfect version of yourself. Attune shows who you actually are and finds who actually resonates with that person. See how we protect your data →

🚫

Zero fake profiles

Every profile requires a live emotion-capture session. Bots, catfish, and scammers can't fake involuntary micro-expressions. It's scientifically verified authenticity.

🧠

Deep compatibility, not surface attraction

You might swipe right on someone beautiful and feel nothing on date three. Emotional compatibility predicts long-term connection far better than photos ever could.

🔒

Your data stays yours

We process everything on-device. We never sell emotional data. Ever. You can delete your entire profile and every trace of your data in one tap.

💬

Better first conversations

When you match on emotional wavelength, the conversation flows naturally. No more awkward openers. You already know, on some level, this person gets you.

Real stories

People are feeling the
difference

From beta testers who have already found what they were looking for.

★★★★★

"I'd been on every app. Same slog, different faces. My first Attune match and I felt like I already knew her - we spoke for four hours on the first call. We're meeting next week."

★★★★★

"As a woman, I've always been scared of apps, the unsolicited messages, the fake accounts. Attune feels completely different. I finally trust that the men on here are real people who genuinely match with me."

Priya, Attune beta tester from London

★★★★★

"I was sceptical about the camera thing. Took about 30 seconds to forget it was even there. The match quality is honestly astonishing, my third match and I've met someone genuinely special."

The science

Emotion AI built by the people who wrote the science.

Attune is built on EchoDepth, the emotional AI engine developed by Cavefish, a Cardiff-based company specialising in real-time facial Action Unit analysis.

EchoDepth analyses the 44 muscle movements that make up human facial expression, the FACS system originally developed by psychologist Paul Ekman, and maps them to emotional states in real time without wearables, sensors, or any hardware beyond your phone's front camera.

Questions

Everything you want to know before you start.

We know you have questions. Good. Scepticism is healthy. Here are honest answers.

Safety & security

Fake profiles are practically impossible on Attune. Every user must complete a live emotion-capture session to create their profile. Bots and catfish accounts cannot fake involuntary micro-expressions. They require a real human face, in real time. If someone tries to use a pre-recorded video, our liveness detection flags it instantly. This makes Attune the most fraud-resistant dating platform available.

Safety is our highest priority. Every user is identity-verified during the emotion-capture process, meaning anonymous throwaway accounts don't exist. We have zero-tolerance policies for harassment and a reporting system that escalates to human review within two hours. You also have full control over who can contact you and what you share.

Report and block in one tap. All reports go to a human review team, not just an algorithm. If a user is found to have harassed another, their account is permanently banned and they cannot re-register. We take this seriously.

Privacy & data

Raw video never leaves your phone. We retain only an anonymised emotional vector — a mathematical pattern with no biometric identifiers — which you can permanently delete at any time.

Never. Attune does not run ads and we do not sell, rent, or share your personal data, emotional or otherwise, with third parties for commercial purposes. Our business model is a subscription fee, not data brokerage. That alignment of incentives matters: we make money when you find love, not when we sell your profile.

Yes, completely and permanently. Go to Settings → Privacy → Delete My Data. Your profile, emotional vector, chat history, and all associated data are permanently erased within 24 hours. We comply fully with GDPR right-to-erasure requirements. No data is archived or retained in backups after deletion.

How matching works

In our closed beta, 94% of matched users rated their first conversation as genuinely interesting or better. Source: Attune methodology → We measure compatibility across valence, arousal, and dominance — three dimensions that capture far more than photos ever could.

Our technology detects involuntary micro-expressions — facial movements under 200ms that are extremely difficult to fake consciously. Attempting to perform emotions produces an inaccurate emotional profile, resulting in worse matches. The system rewards authenticity.

Absolutely. Emotional compatibility is universal. It doesn't depend on sexual orientation or gender identity. You set your identity and preferences during onboarding, and our matching only introduces you to people within those preferences. Attune was built from the ground up to be inclusive for everyone.

You still have a profile with photos. Physical attraction is part of human connection and we're not pretending otherwise. The difference is that photos are revealed after emotional compatibility is confirmed, not before. We've found this significantly reduces superficial swiping and dramatically improves the quality of conversations.

Getting started

The emotion-capture and matching process is free. A premium tier unlocks unlimited messaging, extended match insights, and priority access to new features. Waitlist members get six months of premium free at launch. We'll never hide core functionality behind a paywall.
