Marco and friends compare different fitness watches after a park workout.

Features → Wearables

Any wearable. Or none.

If it syncs to Apple Health or Health Connect, it competes. No watch needed, your phone counts too.

If your watch, ring, or app syncs to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, it works with MoveTogether. No wearable? Your phone’s step count works too.

Every supported tracker.

Turn on sharing in your device’s app, then pick it as your tracker in MoveTogether. Only the tracker you pick counts toward your rings.

Not listed? If it syncs to Apple Health or Health Connect, it works with MoveTogether.

Someone on an everyday walk tracking it with just their phone, no watch needed.

The four numbers we read from your tracker.

Every device sends the same four numbers. If a source doesn’t record one (Strava has no all-day steps), it adds nothing there.

Metric	Ring	Scoring method
Steps	Steps ring	Head to Head scoring on steps
Active calories	Move ring	Total Activity and Head to Head scoring on calories
Exercise minutes	Exercise ring	Head to Head scoring on exercise minutes
Workouts	Activity feed	Workout Count and Distance scoring

How activity reaches the leaderboard.

iPhone

Apple Health

Apple Health sends new activity to MoveTogether in the background, once your device’s app has written it there. Sync activity in the + menu pulls it in right away.

Android

Health Connect

MoveTogether reads new activity from Health Connect once your device’s app has written it there.

Read-only, and no passwords to hand over.

You never sign in to Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, or any other device account inside MoveTogether. Your device shares into Apple Health or Health Connect from its own app.

MoveTogether asks for read access only. Revoke it any time in Apple Health or Health Connect.

On iPhone, MoveTogether asks Apple Health for read-only access. Steps, active energy, exercise minutes, workouts, and Apple’s daily activity summary drive your rings. It also asks for heart rate, sleep, and body weight, which never affect scoring. On Android, it reads steps, active calories, exercise sessions, sleep, weight, and height from Health Connect.

Wearable questions, briefly answered.

Which wearables work with MoveTogether?

Anything that syncs to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. That includes Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Google Health / Fitbit and Pixel Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Strava (workouts), and Ultrahuman.

Do I need a wearable at all?

No. Your phone’s step count works on its own, and your iPhone also estimates active energy.

Is it fair when friends wear different devices?

Yes, in every scoring method. Every device sends its Move, Exercise, Steps, and workouts the same way, and everyone is scored by the same rules.

How do I set it up?

Turn on sharing to Apple Health or Health Connect in your device’s app. Then allow MoveTogether to read it and pick your device as your tracker.

Do I give MoveTogether my Garmin, Google, or WHOOP password?

No. You never sign in to a device account inside MoveTogether.

Can I switch trackers?

Yes. On iPhone, tap your photo on Home, then the gear, then Data Sources, and change Your tracker. Only the tracker you pick counts toward your rings.

What about Android?

MoveTogether for Android is on Google Play. On Android, MoveTogether reads Health Connect, and you share a leaderboard with friends on iPhone.
