For Black couples

Built for Black love, every day of the week.

Therapy is often gatekept, expensive, and culturally tone-deaf. Soleil is the daily couples app built so Black couples can stay close on purpose — Afrobeats and R&B in your shared groove, Maître Soleil as a Pan-African companion, rendez-vous that respect how Black families actually love.

Pan-African by design

Set your lens to Pan-African in onboarding and Maître Soleil's greetings, prompts, and music shift — Burna Boy and Tems, jazz and neo-soul, words that don't whitewash.

Therapist-grounded, not therapist-priced

Soleil's decks are grounded in Gottman, EFT, and Nonviolent Communication research — designed in collaboration with Black therapists. $12.99/month for both partners, not $200/session.

Repair Room, not avoidance

When something goes sideways, the Repair Room walks you through a six-step protocol with voice notes. No homework. No shame.

What's inside

The cultural texture

Why it fits

Black love doesn't need translation here.

Most relationship apps treat culture as a marketing layer — a stock photo on the homepage, a generic prompt under the hood. Soleil flips that. The product was built by a Haitian-American founder, the art direction is rooted in Naïf painting, and the AI companion speaks in cultural lenses, not generic therapist voice.

Soleil is not a therapy replacement — it's the daily floor underneath therapy, or the daily practice for the millions of Black couples who'll never enter a therapist's office but absolutely deserve a calmer, closer relationship.

Family. Take a breath together — one minute, one song. The rest of the day can wait.
— Maître Soleil

Common questions

What couples ask

Is Soleil culturally competent?

We don't claim to be the answer to every Black relationship — but we did build with Black love in mind from day one, with Pan-African and Caribbean lenses, music that reflects the culture, and copy that doesn't whitewash. Read our founder note for the long version.

Is this only for African-American couples?

No. Soleil welcomes Black couples across the diaspora — Caribbean, African, Afro-Latin, Black British, multiracial. Pick the lens that fits, or switch lenses anytime.

How much does it cost?

$12.99/month or $89/year for both partners — one flat price worldwide.

Can I use this without my partner?

Yes. Solo mode is available, and Solo Glow is a whole room built for individual reflection. But Soleil is at its best when both partners are in.
