Clyque
Where Love Multiplies
A relationship management platform designed specifically for the polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous (CNM) community. A full-stack SaaS solution built with privacy-first architecture.
The Challenge
The Problem: 4-5% of US adults (approximately 15-16 million people) practice consensual non-monogamy, yet there are zero dedicated relationship management platforms for this community. Existing solutions force CNM practitioners to cobble together generic tools like Google Calendar, spreadsheets, and standard messaging apps—none of which understand the unique dynamics of multi-partner relationships.
Key Pain Points:
- Double-booking conflicts across multiple partner schedules
- Difficulty tracking emotional states and relationship health across partners
- Complex metamour networks with no visualization tools
- Privacy concerns with using mainstream relationship apps
- No communication tools designed for multi-partner dynamics
- Lack of educational resources integrated with practical tools
The Solution
Built Clyque as a comprehensive, privacy-first SaaS platform specifically designed for CNM relationship management. The platform combines intelligent scheduling, emotional wellness tracking, secure communication, and network visualization into a single, cohesive experience.

Key Learnings
Building for Underserved Communities
Working closely with the CNM community taught me the importance of inclusive design and privacy-first architecture. Features weren't just nice-to-have—they addressed real pain points that affected people's daily lives and relationships.
Product-Market Fit Validation
The strong beta signup rate validated the market need. Community feedback shaped feature prioritization, proving that direct user engagement is essential for building products people actually want.
Balancing Vision with Execution
