Embie shut down September 30, 2025
Looking for an Embie alternative? Here's what actually changed.
If you tracked your IVF cycle in Embie, the app you were using is gone — it closed on September 30, 2025, and its team pivoted the company to a business-to-business product. You're left with two real questions: where did your data go, and what do you use for your next cycle? This page answers both, factually, with no affiliation to Embie or anyone else on it.
Where did your Embie data go?
We don't have access to any former Embie account, and we never will — we're a separate, unrelated app. Embie's own shutdown announcement is the only authoritative source for what export options existed and by what date. If you didn't get a copy of your medication log or appointment history before the app closed, the right next step is to contact Embie's team directly through that announcement page — not a third party.
What we can tell you: going forward, whatever app or system you choose next is worth picking specifically because it won't put you back in this position. That's the core reason IVFfolio keeps everything local to your phone instead of a company's servers — no company shutting down can take your data with it, because it was never anywhere but your device.

Why local-only matters after Embie
The reason a lot of former Embie users are wary right now isn't really about features — it's about trust. You built a medication log and appointment history inside a company's product, and then the company made a business decision that had nothing to do with you, and your data went with it.
IVFfolio is built so that can't happen again, structurally. There's no account to create, no server your cycle data is synced to, and no cloud database that could be shut down, sold, or repurposed. Everything — every injection, every dose, every appointment note — lives in local storage on your phone. You can export a clean PDF or CSV whenever you want a copy that lives somewhere else too. If you ever stop using the app, your data doesn't disappear with a company's decision; it's still just sitting on your phone, because it never left.
That also means IVFfolio doesn't try to interpret your numbers or tell you what's "normal." It's a clerical tool, not a clinical one — it keeps your protocol organized and reminds you on time, and your clinic remains the only source of medical guidance.

Frequently asked questions
What happened to Embie?
Embie, the IVF tracking app, shut down on September 30, 2025. Its team posted a shutdown announcement and pivoted to a business-to-business product, which means the consumer app that IVF patients relied on to track injections and appointments is no longer available to download or use.
Is my old Embie data still available?
That depends entirely on Embie's own export process, which we don't control. Their shutdown announcement is the authoritative source for what data export options they offered and by when. If you didn't save a copy before the app closed, contact Embie's team directly through that announcement page — we have no access to any former Embie account or data.
Is IVFfolio affiliated with Embie?
No. IVFfolio is an independent app, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Embie, Embraya, or Berry. We mention them here only for factual, side-by-side comparison, because a lot of people searching for "Embie alternative" want a straight answer.
How is IVFfolio different from Embraya?
Embraya requires an account and syncs your cycle data to the cloud, and it includes in-app content and Q&A. IVFfolio has no account and no cloud sync — everything stays on your phone — and it doesn't offer interpretive content or advice. It's a clerical tool: it tracks what you tell it and reminds you on schedule.
How is IVFfolio different from Berry?
Berry is free with limited features, requires an account, and includes community features. IVFfolio skips the account and the community layer entirely in favor of a private, local-only log built around medication reminders and appointment tracking.
Does IVFfolio require an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no cloud account of any kind. Your data is stored only on your device.
This is an organizational tool, not medical advice — follow your clinic's instructions.
