Why did Kindara shut down

Kindara was acquired and the product was eventually discontinued. The specific business reasons are not fully public, but the outcome for users is clear: the service ended, and cloud-stored data went with it.

What happened to the Wink thermometer

The Wink was a Bluetooth BBT thermometer designed to pair with Kindara's app. When Kindara was discontinued, Wink owners lost their companion app. The thermometer still reads temperatures, but the charting software it was built for no longer exists. This is hardware lock-in risk in practice.

How does Floriva prevent this problem

Floriva stores all data on your device in local storage. If Floriva ever stopped operating, your data would remain on your phone in files you own. No server shutdown can delete your cycle history because no server holds it. Floriva also supports data export in standard formats.

Kindara also sold the Wink, a Bluetooth connected basal body temperature thermometer that synced directly with the app. For FAM practitioners, Kindara was a dedicated tool. It is now gone.

The Wink thermometer lost its companion software. Users who had tracked their cycles for years, building datasets that spanned dozens of cycles and provided increasingly accurate fertility insights, lost access to that data. The investment of daily temperature readings, cervical mucus observations, and symptom logging vanished when the company decided the product was no longer worth mainta
