PinkyBond vs Flo for Partners: A Private Thread vs a Read-Only Card
Our verdict
Flo for Partners shows him a read-only card: her calendar and some tips. PinkyBond gives the couple their own end-to-end encrypted thread and calls, built on her cycle, with no account and no readable copy on any server. Flo Health paid $8 million in 2025 to settle a US class action over sharing user health data. It admits no wrongdoing.

Overview
Flo for Partners er en funktion inden for Flo Premium, der lader brugere dele grundlæggende cyklusinformation med en partner. Det er et tyndt delingslag oven på Flo’s eksisterende platform. Partneren får et simpelt overblik over hendes cyklusfase og nogle grundlæggende tips.
PinkyBond er en dedikeret ledsagerapp med 60+ gestuskort, AI-oversatte brobeskeder, tovejs humørdeling, cyklusuddannelse og forbindelsesmetrikker. Den er bygget fra bunden til partnere, ikke blot tilføjet en menstruationstracker.
Privacy and encryption
In 2021 the FTC alleged that Flo Health had shared users’ health data with third parties including Facebook and Google without consent; that order carried no fine. A related class action settled in September 2025, with Flo paying $8 million of a $56 million total and Google $48 million. Flo denies wrongdoing. Flo for Partners shares data through these same servers.
Data is encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM before transmission. Our Convex server stores only encrypted blobs it cannot decrypt.
The experience
Flo for Partners giver et grundlæggende overblik over hendes cyklusfase med begrænset fortolkning. Der er ingen gestuskort, ingen brobeskeder, ingen tovejsdeling, og ingen realtidsindsigter.
PinkyBond oversætter hendes cyklusdata til handlingsorienteret kontekst: hvilken fase hun er i, hvordan hun måske har det, hvilke gestus der er passende, og AI-udkastede brobeskeder, hun kan godkende. Det er forskellen mellem data og forståelse.
