They pull away. You chase. They come back. Then they pull away again. If you're stuck in this exhausting push-pull cycle with an avoidant partner, you're not imagining it. It's a pattern, and 83% of our users break it within 3 weeks. Loopist is an AI-powered relationship coach that helps you decode avoidant attachment, stop the hot-cold cycle, and build real connection. 5 PROGRAMS: The Avoidant Playbook For anyone in an anxious-avoidant dynamic. Your partner withdraws when things get close. Learn what triggers their retreat, how to create safety, and how to break the push-pull cycle. Reconnect For couples who feel more like roommates than partners. The spark is gone, conversations are surface-level. Rebuild closeness step by step, even if only one of you starts. Communicate Better For couples where every conversation turns into an argument. One person shuts down, the other gets frustrated. Learn to express needs without attacking and listen without getting defensive. Relationship Anxiety For those who overthink every interaction, need constant reassurance, or feel insecure even when things are fine. Build security from within instead of seeking it from your partner. Break the Conflict Cycle For couples stuck in the same fights over and over. Different topics, same patterns. Identify triggers and respond differently. WHAT YOU GET: - 24/7 AI relationship coach (Aria) for real-time support - Daily guided activities tailored to your specific situation - Personalized playbook based on your relationship dynamic - Progress tracking to see your relationship improve over time THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND IT: Loopist is built on Attachment Theory and the Gottman Method. Attachment Theory explains why some people become anxious in relationships while others pull away, and how to break those patterns. The Gottman Method comes from decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail. WORKS EVEN IF ONLY ONE PARTNER USES IT: You can't force your partner to change. But when you change how you show up, how you communicate, how you respond, the whole dynamic shifts. Most relationship problems are pattern problems, and patterns can be broken from one side. WHO LOOPIST IS FOR: People in relationships that feel stuck. If you're dealing with an avoidant partner, constant arguments, emotional distance, or relationship anxiety, Loopist gives you a clear path forward.

About

Access

Features
Read full description

Access lets a user create iOS profiles (Admin, Guest, Kids, custom) and choose which apps are accessible per profile. Locked apps are shielded using Apple's FamilyControls + ManagedSettings frameworks. FACE ID Used only at one point: switching to a higher-privilege profile (Admin). NSFaceIDUsageDescription explains this. Passcode is the automatic fallback if Face ID fails or is unavailable. No biometric data is read, stored, or transmitted — we use the standard LocalAuthentication API. FAMILY CONTROLS ENTITLEMENT This app uses com.apple.developer.family-controls for the core profile-switching feature. The distribution entitlement has been requested/granted for Team ID DCSDH8F6XU. Authorization is requested with .individual scope (not .child) — this is a personal profile switcher, not a parental-controls product. PRIVACY No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. All profile data is stored locally via SwiftData. App selections are opaque tokens provided by Apple's FamilyActivityPicker, the app cannot inspect, read, or transmit which apps were selected. See PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy in the bundle. KNOWN iOS-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS (not bugs) Apple reserves Phone, Wallet, Find My, Settings, Clock, Calculator, Camera, Watch, Fitness, and App Store from FamilyControls shielding.These will always remain accessible regardless of profile. This is documented Apple platform behavior. DEMO ACCOUNT Not required, the app has no sign-in.
