Features → Wearables
No wearable required.
Compete on MoveTogether two ways. Apple Health reads activity from anything that writes to your iPhone — Apple Watch, Tonal, Peloton, MIRROR, NordicTrack, 100+ fitness apps, or just your iPhone alone with no equipment at all. Or, connect a dedicated wearable: Google Health/Fitbit, Garmin, WHOOP, Strava, Polar, Oura, or Ultrahuman. Suunto is coming soon. Either path lands on the same competition leaderboard.
Every supported tracker.
Each platform connects in one of two ways. Apple Watch flows through Apple Health on your iPhone. Every other tracker uses OAuth — you sign in on the provider’s own site and approve the connection. Your login credentials never leave the provider.
Apple Health
HealthKitNo wearable required
Works with Apple Watch, Tonal, Peloton, MIRROR, NordicTrack, smart treadmills, spin bikes, smart scales, 100+ fitness apps — and iPhone-only with no equipment at all.
Apple Watch
HealthKitNative via Apple Health
The flagship watch integration. Activity flows from your watch through Apple Health on iPhone. Updates land on the leaderboard within minutes.
Google Health / Fitbit
OAuthOAuth via your Google Fitbit account
Connect through Google Health/Fitbit for Fitbit activity and workouts.
Garmin
OAuthOAuth via Garmin Connect
Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, Vivoactive, Instinct — every Garmin that syncs to Connect. Steps, calories, exercise minutes, and workouts come through.
WHOOP
OAuthOAuth — strain becomes our exercise minutes
The strap that won't come off. WHOOP doesn't show steps, but strain and workouts feed straight into Total Activity, Workout Count, and Percentage of Goals scoring.
Oura
OAuthOAuth — ring activity, fully counted
Oura Ring activity, calorie burn, and workouts flow into the leaderboard. The most popular ring-based wearable, fully supported.
Strava
OAuthOAuth — workouts become your competition score
If your training lives in Strava, MoveTogether reads workouts and exercise minutes from there. Best paired with Workout Count scoring.
Polar
OAuthOAuth via Polar Flow
Vantage, Grit, Ignite, Pacer, H10 — Polar activity and workouts sync into MoveTogether via the Polar Flow ecosystem.
Suunto
Coming soonComing soon
Suunto support is on the way — we're finalizing API access so its activity and workouts will feed into your competitions.
Ultrahuman
OAuthOAuth — Ring Air activity
Newer to the leaderboard, but fully supported. Ultrahuman Ring Air activity and workouts come through cleanly.
Suunto is coming soon. If your device writes to Apple Health or any of the dedicated providers above, you can compete via that bridge.
The four numbers we read from your tracker.
No matter which device you wear, we pull the same four metrics. Devices that don’t report a given metric (WHOOP, for example, doesn’t expose step counts) simply contribute zero on that metric — and the scoring methods that depend on it.
See competition scoring methods for how each metric translates into competition points.
How quickly your activity hits the leaderboard.
Apple Watch
Within minutes
Activity flows from your watch through Apple Health on iPhone, then into MoveTogether through HealthKit background delivery. The leaderboard usually reflects new activity within a couple of minutes.
All other trackers
Every 15–30 minutes
We poll each OAuth-connected platform on its own cadence, bound by how often the provider’s app syncs its own data. Pull-to-refresh on any screen forces an immediate sync.
Your passwords never leave the provider.
Every non-Apple integration uses OAuth — the same standard that lets you sign into apps with Google or Apple. You sign in on Google’s page (for Google Fitbit), Garmin’s, WHOOP’s, or whichever provider you’re connecting — approve which data you want to share, and we receive an access token bound to those permissions.
Your login credentials are never stored on our servers. We only ever hold the OAuth token — and you can revoke it from the provider’s site any time.
For Apple Watch, we ask HealthKit for read-only access to Steps, Active Energy, Exercise Minutes, and Workouts — the minimum required to score competitions. Nothing else.
Wearable questions, briefly answered.
Which wearables work with MoveTogether?
Two paths. Via Apple Health (no wearable required): Apple Watch, Tonal, Peloton, MIRROR, NordicTrack, smart treadmills, spin bikes, smart scales, 100+ fitness apps, or iPhone-only with no equipment. Via dedicated integration: Google Health/Fitbit, Garmin, WHOOP, Strava, Polar, Oura, and Ultrahuman. Suunto is coming soon.
Do I need a smartwatch or wearable at all?
No. The iPhone's built-in motion coprocessor counts steps and estimates Active Energy whenever you're carrying your phone. If you train with Tonal, Peloton, MIRROR, NordicTrack, or any Apple Health-compatible equipment, those workouts also flow in. You can join MoveTogether competitions with just an iPhone — see /features/wearables/apple-health for the full breakdown.
How does MoveTogether handle different devices counting activity differently?
We pull a normalized set of metrics — steps, active calories, exercise minutes, and workouts — from every supported platform. When you set up a competition you pick one of seven scoring methods. Percentage of Goals is the most cross-device-fair because it scores against each person's own goal, so a Garmin user and an Apple Watch user are comparable.
How often does activity sync?
Apple Watch syncs within minutes via Apple Health background updates. Every other tracker syncs every 15–30 minutes, depending on its companion app. Pull-to-refresh on any screen forces an immediate sync.
Do I have to give MoveTogether my Garmin / Google / WHOOP password?
No. We use OAuth — you sign in on the provider's own site (Google for Fitbit, Garmin Connect for Garmin, etc.) and approve the connection there. Your login credentials are never stored on our servers.
Can I switch trackers mid-competition?
Manage connected providers in Settings → Data Sources. If you connect more than one source, review what each contributes and do not assume duplicate activity is automatically deduplicated.
What about Android?
MoveTogether is available on iOS and in public beta on Android. Join the beta at /android. Apple Health is iOS-only by nature, so the Apple Health path requires an iPhone. Android users can check Data Sources in the app for the providers available to their account.
I have a Google Fitbit and just heard the Fitbit app is going away. Does MoveTogether still work?
Yes. MoveTogether integrates with Google Health/Fitbit at the provider level, so activity from the account you connect flows into MoveTogether. If a reconnect is needed, manage it in Settings → Data Sources.
My device isn't in the list. What now?
If the device exports to one of our seven supported platforms (e.g., it pushes data into Apple Health, Strava, or another supported account), you can compete via that bridge. Devices that don't feed into any of our seven platforms aren't supported yet.
Connect your tracker. Beat your friend group.
Free to start. Two-minute setup for any supported tracker. The leaderboard starts moving the moment your first sync lands.
