Health Integrations
Connected Health (Health Sources) is the only place to connect wearables. Live today: Oura, Strava, Polar Flow, Google Fit, and Apple Health (iPhone app). Garmin, WHOOP, Withings, Fitbit, and Android Health Connect stay Later until those bridges ship.
Open Menu → Connected Health. Polar, Oura, Strava, and Google Fit use Connect in the browser. Apple Health Connect and Sync now run in the kcal iOS app (TestFlight) — Safari cannot talk to HealthKit.
Open Menu → Connected Health, connect the source you actually use, then Sync now. On iPhone, Apple Health needs the kcal app, not Safari.
Why this matters
One list. Settings used to open a leftover page that said Oura and Strava were Coming soon while they were already live.
Every permission explains why Buddy wants it — no blind “Allow all”.
Disconnect anytime. Cloud sources sync when you tap Sync now. Apple HealthKit does not sync from Safari.
Later cards (Garmin, WHOOP, Withings, Fitbit, Health Connect) stay Later until those bridges ship — they are not fake-live.
What to understand
What you will see.
- 1
Menu → Connected Health (Health Sources) — or Settings → Open Connected Health
- 2
Live: Oura Ring, Strava, Polar Flow, Google Fit, Apple Health
- 3
Later: Garmin, WHOOP, Withings, Fitbit, Android Health Connect
- 4
Connect / Disconnect / Sync now on live cards
- 5
Apple Health — Connect and Sync now in the iPhone app only
Truth: That leftover page is gone. Same sources as Connected Health. Bookmarks to /health-integrations open the real list.
Truth: Connect and Sync now need the kcal iOS app. Safari / Mac cannot read HealthKit.
How to do this in real life
How to set it up (beta).
- 1
Update to the latest beta (web hard-refresh, or newest TestFlight).
- 2
Open Menu → Connected Health (Health Sources).
- 3
Tap Connect on Oura, Strava, Polar Flow, or Google Fit and finish that provider’s sign-in.
- 4
On iPhone TestFlight, tap Connect on Apple Health and grant HealthKit, then Sync now.
- 5
Return to Home and keep logging meals — health sources support Buddy; they do not replace Foodiary.
Buddy coaches from what you log. Wearable data fills activity and recovery — it does not skip Foodiary.
Where to find it
Path: Menu → Connected Health.
Settings → Open Connected Health goes to the same page.
Direct path on your invite URL: …/#/u/YOUR_KEY/connections
Live vs Later
Live means Connect works today (Polar needs Polar Flow AccessLink; Apple Health needs the iPhone app).
Later means we are not pretending. Garmin needs their developer program. WHOOP, Withings, Fitbit, and Android Health Connect are not wired yet.
Privacy
Health data leaves the device or provider only when you connect and sync.
Disconnect anytime. No dark patterns.
What testers should report
Does Menu → Connected Health show Polar Flow as live (not Coming soon)?
Does Settings open that same list — not a second Apple-only page?
Does Connect work for the source you use?
Common mistakes
-
“I connected Apple Health and expected sleep coaching the same day.”
Sync now imports samples. Buddy still coaches from Foodiary first.
-
“I opened Health Integrations because the name sounded newer.”
That name was a leftover. Use Connected Health.
Connect the watch or ring you already wear. Your Foodiary habit still comes first.
