VulnVault

VulnVault is a mobile + web app that helps couples build emotional intimacy through short, structured “micro-disclosures” that take 3–7 minutes a day. Instead of generic conversation cards, it uses an evidence-informed ladder: low-stakes sharing (wins, worries), then deeper needs (boundaries, appreciation, fears), and finally repair (how to apologize, how to ask). Each prompt has a “safe reply” template so people who freeze or get defensive can respond without escalating. The app tracks patterns like avoidance, stonewalling, and mismatch in effort, then suggests next-step prompts and cooldown routines. It also includes a weekly “connection recap” that turns the best moments into a private memory feed. This is not a replacement for therapy; it’s a lightweight practice tool for couples who want closeness but don’t know what to say or how to say it.
