Migration snapshot
Shut downPlatform
a Kinetise
Crunchbase lists Kinetise as 'permanently closed'; Tracxn marks it 'not active anymore.' Warsaw, Poland — founded 2012, last real activity ~2017. Marketing and aggregator pages may still resolve in the present tense — do not trust them. Verified July 11, 2026. Note: Kinetic Apps (kineticapps.ai, founded 2025) is a completely unrelated company — do not confuse them.
Typical timeline
8–14 weeks (emergency rebuild)
Typical cost
$13K–$25K (agency, fixed)
Why teams leave a Kinetise
Kinetise is not a declining platform — it is dead. Any app still running on Kinetise infrastructure is doing so without vendor support, security patches, or any guarantee of continued availability.
Platform is permanently closed
Crunchbase and Tracxn both confirm 'not active' / 'permanently closed.' Last real activity was approximately 2017. There is no support, no export portal, and no recovery mechanism through the vendor.
No verifiable export path
A historical code download existed circa 2017 but is no longer accessible. No backend export portal, no self-service data dump, and no API endpoint is known to be available as of July 2026.
Live apps at risk of sudden failure
Infrastructure supporting a dead platform can fail at any moment with no warning and no recourse. Any app still responding to users is running on infrastructure the original vendor no longer maintains.
Aggregator misinformation creates false confidence
Some marketing and aggregator pages still present Kinetise as active — these are stale crawl data or AI-generated noise. Do not rely on them when making business decisions.
No confusion remedy exists with vendor
Do not confuse Kinetise with Kinetic Apps (kineticapps.ai, founded 2025) — they are completely unrelated companies. There is no inheritance of Kinetise's platform or data by any successor.
What can you actually take with you?
No verifiable export path exists as of July 2026. The historical 2017 code download is not accessible. Any data recovery depends entirely on whether you connected an external backend you still control.
| Asset | Can you export it? | How | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data | No | No active support or export portal exists. If the app used an external API or database you control, access that system directly. | If backend was Kinetise-managed, data may be permanently inaccessible. No recovery mechanism is known. |
| Code | No | Historical code download existed circa 2017 but is not accessible today. | No export path is verifiable as of July 11, 2026. Check local archives for any code downloaded during the active era. |
| Design/UI | No | Not accessible via any known export mechanism. | Screen recordings of the live app are the only UI documentation available. |
| Logic/Workflows | No | Not accessible. | Logic must be reconstructed from product knowledge, screen recordings, and user feedback. |
| Users & Auth | No | If auth was Kinetise-managed, assume data is inaccessible. If external (Firebase, custom backend), access those systems directly. | Platform is closed; assume any Kinetise-managed auth data is unrecoverable. A new auth system is required. |

The migration roadmap
This is a forensic recovery, not a structured migration. The first phase is determining what assets you still have access to before the infrastructure fails entirely.
Phase 1: Emergency Asset Recovery
Week 1 — urgent- Screen-record every flow in the live app while it still runs
- Identify and log in to any external backend (API, database) you connected and still control
- Export data from any external backend you own immediately
- Search local archives for any code downloads or project files from the 2017 era
- Check App Store Connect and Google Play Console for account ownership and current app status
Watch out: Do not attempt to contact Kinetise support — there is none. Move directly to recovery actions.
Phase 2: Feature Documentation
Weeks 1–2- Document every feature, screen, and user flow from screen recordings and product knowledge
- Run user interviews or survey current users to identify the most critical features
- Create a prioritized feature list for the rebuild, separating must-have from nice-to-have
- Scope the rebuild: screen count, user flows, integration complexity
Watch out: Build the rebuild spec from product knowledge — you have no source code to reference.
Phase 3: Foundation Setup
Weeks 2–4- Set up React Native + Expo project with TypeScript
- Set up Supabase project with schema based on recovered data model
- Migrate any externally-owned data to Supabase PostgreSQL
- Implement Supabase Auth as the new authentication system
Phase 4: Rebuild Core Flows
Weeks 4–10- Implement screens in priority order from the feature list
- Rebuild all API integrations against new backend or external services
- Test against screen recordings to validate feature parity
- Set up Expo Application Services for mobile builds and submissions
Phase 5: Launch and Store Submission
Weeks 10–14- Submit rebuilt app to App Store and Google Play (same bundle ID if possible)
- Communicate with users: announce new app version, handle login reset
- Decommission any remaining dependency on Kinetise infrastructure
- Monitor for issues; maintain rollback plan for 2 weeks post-launch
Three ways to migrate — honestly
Every path has a real trade-off. Here is what each costs, how long it takes, and where it bites.
DIY (with AI tools)
$500–$2K + significant time
4–8 months part-time
Fits
Founders with React Native experience who can drive a rebuild independently and have a simple app with few screens
Risks
Without source code, the rebuild scope is hard to estimate accurately. AI tools help but cannot recover lost business logic. High risk of scope underestimation leading to an incomplete app.
Freelancer
$5K–$15K
2–4 months
Fits
Apps with fewer than 15 screens and minimal backend complexity; team that can manage the freelancer closely and provide detailed feature documentation from screen recordings
Risks
Rebuild scope from screen recordings is inherently uncertain. Scope creep is common when no source exists. Vet the freelancer's React Native production experience carefully.
Agency (RapidDev)
Done-for-you$13K–$25K fixed
8–14 weeks
Fits
Production apps with active users that cannot afford a prolonged downtime window; teams that need a reliable handoff with complete documentation
Risks
Minimal — fixed price eliminates scope uncertainty; dedicated team handles forensic recovery, rebuild, and store submission in a single engagement. Free scoping call available at rapidevelopers.com.
The real risks — and how to defuse them
Live app goes dark without warning
Mitigation: Infrastructure supporting a dead platform can fail at any time. Set an internal deadline — treat every day of remaining access as a gift and move immediately.
No data recovery if backend was Kinetise-managed
Mitigation: Accept this outcome and plan the rebuild around whatever data is accessible externally. Do not spend time pursuing non-existent export paths.
Store listing expiry or suspension
Mitigation: Apple removes inactive apps; Google Play may suspend apps with outdated SDKs. Publish the rebuilt app under the same bundle ID if possible and coordinate with store teams.
Rebuild scope underestimated without source code
Mitigation: Run user interviews before scoping to identify which features are actually used — many apps have 20% of features driving 80% of usage. Build only what matters.
Internal team believes Kinetise is still active
Mitigation: Share Crunchbase and Tracxn status with all stakeholders explicitly. The misinformation from aggregator pages can stall internal approval for emergency action.
Should you actually migrate?
Migrating is a real project. Sometimes staying is the right call — here is the honest split.
Stay if
- There is no stay_if scenario — the platform is permanently closed and there is nothing to stay on.
Migrate if
- Always — the platform is permanently closed; any app depending on Kinetise infrastructure is running on borrowed time.
- Your live app is still working, which means you have a window; use it to screen-record and document before the infrastructure fails.
- You have user data or business logic in an external backend you own — that is your primary recovery asset and the rebuild starting point.
- You have any locally-saved exports from the 2017 era — these are the only source artifacts you will ever have access to.
Our honest verdict
This is an emergency situation dressed as a migration. Kinetise is dead. The only question is how quickly you can recover what you have and start rebuilding. Every week of delay increases the risk of losing even the screen-recording window.
Do this today: pre-migration checklist
Whatever path you choose, protect yourself first. Work through this before you touch a line of code.
Do NOT attempt to contact Kinetise support — there is none
The platform is permanently closed. Time spent on vendor contact is time lost on recovery actions.
Screen-record every flow in the live app now while it still runs
This is your only UI documentation. If the app goes dark before you record it, you lose the visual specification entirely.
Check if any connected backend (API, database) is under your control — log in and export today
Any externally-owned data is your most valuable recovery asset. It cannot be retrieved through Kinetise.
Search for any locally-saved Kinetise exports from the ~2017 era (code downloads, project files)
Historical downloads are the only possible source artifacts that could survive the platform closure.
Check App Store Connect and Google Play Console for account ownership and current app status
Confirm you own the store listings before the rebuild is complete — store account issues can block launch.
Document your app's full feature set from memory, user feedback, and screen recordings
The rebuild specification comes entirely from product knowledge — no source code exists to consult.
Begin scoping a React Native + Supabase rebuild; do not wait for additional clarity from Kinetise
There will be no additional clarity. The longer you wait, the higher the risk of the live app going dark before you are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kinetise shutting down — or is it already closed?
Kinetise is already permanently closed. Crunchbase lists it as 'permanently closed' and Tracxn confirms it is 'not active anymore.' Last real activity was approximately 2017. Some aggregator and marketing pages still appear active due to stale crawl data — do not rely on them. This is not a future shutdown date; it is a confirmed historical closure.
Can I export my Kinetise app code or data?
No verifiable export path exists as of July 2026. A historical code download was available circa 2017 but is no longer accessible. If you connected Kinetise to an external database or API that you own, you can access that data directly — but there is no Kinetise-side export portal or support to assist with recovery.
Is Kinetise the same as Kinetic Apps?
No — they are completely unrelated companies. Kinetise was a Warsaw, Poland mobile builder founded in 2012 that is now permanently closed. Kinetic Apps (kineticapps.ai) is a separate company founded in 2025 and has no connection to Kinetise's platform, data, or team.
My Kinetise app is still working — should I be concerned?
Yes. A platform that is permanently closed can have its infrastructure fail at any moment with no warning and no recourse. The fact that your app is still running means you have a window — use it immediately to screen-record every flow, document all features, and export any external backend data you control. Do not wait for a trigger event.
What happens to my users if I rebuild on React Native?
Any Kinetise-managed user accounts and passwords are assumed to be inaccessible. You will need to build a new authentication system (Supabase Auth is the recommended target) and ask users to create new accounts or reset passwords. Plan an in-app announcement and email campaign as part of the launch.
How long does a Kinetise emergency rebuild take?
Expect 8–14 weeks for a structured agency-led rebuild, depending on app complexity. The first week is forensic recovery — screen recordings, external backend export, and feature documentation. The remaining weeks cover setup, rebuild, and store submission. DIY timelines are significantly longer without source code to reference.
What is the best rebuild stack for a Kinetise app?
React Native + Expo for mobile apps, with Supabase PostgreSQL for the backend and Supabase Auth for authentication. This stack gives you full ownership of the codebase, a managed database, and no vendor lock-in. Expo Application Services handles mobile builds and store submissions.
