PinkyBond vs VibeCheck: Manual Input vs Encrypted Direct Connection

VibeCheck is one of the first apps designed specifically for men who want to understand their partner's cycle. It’s a step in the right direction, but it relies on you manually entering her cycle dates — which means you either ask her (defeating the purpose) or guess. There’s no direct connection to her period tracker, no encryption, and no mechanism for her to control what you see.

PinkyBond connects directly to PinkyBloom through an encrypted channel. She chooses to share. You receive real-time context. No manual input required.

VibeCheck stores data on its servers without end-to-end encryption. Your partner’s cycle information is transmitted and stored in a readable format. There’s no Safety Mode, no consent verification, and no mechanism for her to pause or revoke sharing.

PinkyBond uses Curve25519 ECDH key exchange and AES-256-GCM encryption. Data is encrypted on-device before transmission. Our server stores only encrypted blobs it cannot read. She can pause sharing or activate Safety Mode at any time without your knowledge.

VibeCheck gives you tips based on manually entered dates. PinkyBond gives you real-time context — her current phase, mood, energy level, AI-translated insights, and 60+ phase-aware gesture cards. The difference is between a calendar with notes and a live connection to your partner’s well-being.

There’s nothing to migrate from VibeCheck to PinkyBond. Simply download PinkyBond, ask your partner to invite you from PinkyBloom, and pair via QR code in 60 seconds.
