Company profile
researched Aug 2026Coral is a consumer mobile application focused on sexual wellness, intimacy and relationship communication, published under the developer name Athais Inc. The app is positioned as a guide to "happier, healthier and more pleasurable sex" and a tool for improved intimacy, connection and communication between partners. It is distributed on the Apple App Store (rated 18+, Health & Fitness category, English, roughly 112.5 MB, designed for iPhone and iPad) and on Google Play (rated Mature 17+ for sexual themes and user interaction, also in Health & Fitness).
The product combines three main elements: guided exercises intended to introduce couples to new activities for connection and pleasure; educational and expert content aimed at building confidence, skills and communication; and an encrypted partner chat with conversation prompts, quizzes and flirty questions. Users can invite a partner to join for free, answering questions to unlock each other's responses. Daily prompts are used to build a habit of regular conversation, and the content library spans topics from love languages to exploring intimacy, addressed to users who are dating, married or in long-distance relationships. Both store listings state the app is "trusted by over 1 million people."
Coral's Google Play data disclosure states that no data is shared with third parties, no data is collected, data is encrypted in transit, and users can request deletion of their data.

Market position
Coral operates in the consumer sexual-wellness and couples-app segment of the health and fitness app category, competing for app-store visibility with relationship, coaching and wellness apps. Its Apple editorial features and seven-figure download claim indicate an established consumer presence in that niche.
Coral pairs expert-informed educational content with structured, do-together exercises and an encrypted partner chat, rather than offering content alone; the partner-invite model is free, and privacy is emphasised through encrypted chat and a Google Play disclosure of no data collection or third-party sharing.
Technology
A mobile application for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, built around structured content (guided exercises, quizzes, prompts, articles) and an encrypted chat channel between partners. The Google Play listing indicates data is encrypted in transit and that the developer declares no data collection or third-party sharing.
Go-to-market
Distribution is primarily through the consumer app stores, supported by editorial placement from Apple, which has featured Coral as App of the Day, in a Developer Spotlight, in Valentine's Day Essentials, and in the Apps Made by Women collection in the UK. The company's website uses user testimonials and app-store ratings as social proof, and the app's partner-invite mechanic brings a second user in at no cost.
Individuals and couples seeking to improve intimacy, desire, sexual satisfaction and communication, including people who are dating, married, long-distance, or navigating changes in desire after long relationships or having children. Store age ratings restrict the app to adult audiences (18+ on the App Store, Mature 17+ on Google Play).
Geography
The app is offered in English and is available on the US Apple App Store and Google Play; it has also been featured by Apple in the UK. The Google Play developer record lists ATHAIS, INC. at 1025 Westwood Blvd, Floor 2, Los Angeles, California 90024, United States.
Risks & controversies
Google Play reviews cite product and reliability complaints: insufficient functionality for long-distance couples, a partner-scheduling feature that does not work as expected, duplicated messages, and voice messages that can be recorded but not sent on at least one Android device, in some cases from paying subscribers. Reviewers also note that most content, including solo and partner play, requires a subscription. The app carries adult age ratings (18+ on the App Store, Mature 17+ on Google Play), which constrains distribution and marketing channels.
