You can set up our app to sync your health stats from your phone, so you do not have to log them yourself.
Getting your device connected
Our app reads your health data from the health app that is already on your phone, it doesn't connect directly to your wearable device.
- 🍏 On iPhone that is Apple Health
- 🤖 On Android that is Health Connect
⌚ Using a wearable? Your device needs to be sending your data to your phone's health app first. Here is how to set this up.
📱 No wearable? You are all set. Your phone already tracks some stats like steps on its own.

3. Check your charts
Head to the Insights page and tap Vitals. Your graphs start filling in with the data from your phone.
💡 Synced vitals drop out of your daily check-in, because we are filling them in for you. You can still add a reading yourself using the purple + button.
4. Bring in your older data
When you first connect a vital, we bring in the last 30 days. To go back further, scroll backwards through the chart to the dates you are missing, then tap the Resync button at the top right of the chart. Repeat as you scroll further back.
💡 Our app syncs when you open it, not in the background. Open the app whenever you want your charts up to date.
