About

Attune is a dating app where the pet leads.

Made by Attune LLC in Overland Park, Kansas. Launching on iOS in 2026, Kansas City first.

What Attune is

Most dating apps put a face on the card and let you guess at the life behind it. For people with a dog or a cat, the life is not a guess. The animal sets the schedule, the budget, the weekends, and, more often than anyone admits, the outcome of a relationship.

Attune starts there. Every card leads with the pet, and the person is the small circle in the corner. You tap through to the human, but the first thing you see is the thing that will actually decide whether this works.

How matching works

Each pet answers a few plain questions: energy, size, temperament, whether it is good with dogs, whether it is good with cats. Two people's pets get a compatibility score, and the score comes with reasons in ordinary words: "both high-energy, same size, both easy with strangers." Nobody has to trust a number they cannot read.

People without a pet say which animals they are open to and which are not for them, and they match with people whose pets fit that.

Lock in

When two people want to focus on each other, either can propose a lock. If the other accepts, both stop browsing and their chat is the only chat, until either one ends it. It is free, it is mutual, and if the conversation goes quiet for three days, it ends on its own so nobody is stuck. We built it because "are we exclusive yet?" is a bad conversation to have by accident.

Attune Plus

The one thing people most want to know on a dating app, and never get told, is whether the person they are talking to is talking to anyone else. Attune Plus shows you that, as a band, "only you", "a couple of others", "several", never a number and never names. Both people have to opt in to sharing; it is a mutual thing, not surveillance. Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription and everything else stays free.

Who makes it

Attune LLC is a small company in Overland Park, Kansas. We are starting in Kansas City because it is home, because it has more dog-friendly patios per person than almost anywhere, and because a dating app only works when enough of the right people are close to each other.
