Oura’s excellent hardware isn’t the only reason it sits at the top of our best smart ring rankings—it’s also the top option if you need a device that integrates well with other platforms.
Last year, the company announced an integrations library so users can connect a host of services to the Oura app. The idea is to expand the ecosystem by allowing Oura to communicate with other apps, with two-way syncing often available and allowing users to enjoy richer platforms.
While Oura excels at tracking sleep and core vitals, the form factor limits its capabilities in other areas. Workouts are an example of where Oura and smart ring competitors struggle.
Some apps, including glucose monitoring and women’s health metrics, are subject to FDA regulation, which means integrating is a perfect way to bring top-grade features to Oura without the ring having to track it natively.
In total, Oura supports over 800 integrations. It’s an impressive number, to be sure, but we’re not going to list them all. Instead, and because most require a subscription to both services, we’ve selected 14 that we believe are the best and most far-reaching.
To try these out, open the Oura app’s hamburger menu (in the top left) and select ‘Integrations’.
Natural Cycles is the only FDA-cleared birth control app that connects to Oura for biometric insights. Using the smart ring, it analyzes body temperature and other key indicators to determine users’ daily fertility status, helping them plan or prevent pregnancy naturally.
