Apple Health on iPhone.
On iPhone, MoveTogether reads your activity from Apple Health. If your watch, ring, or app syncs there, it works, and your iPhone counts steps on its own.
One permission, then pick your tracker.
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. Apple Health may hold data from several devices, so you pick the one that counts.
Revoke access any time in iPhone Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices. Data sources guide
What can feed Apple Health?
Anything that writes activity to Apple Health. A few common ones:
- Apple Watch
- Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Ultrahuman
- Google Health / Fitbit
- Strava (workouts)
- Peloton, Tonal, and other connected gym gear
- Just your iPhone (steps and active energy)
What we read from Apple Health.
MoveTogether scores the same activity for every device. Here’s what comes through from Apple Health.
| Metric | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steps | Yes | Your iPhone counts steps even without a watch. |
| Active calories | Yes | |
| Exercise minutes | Yes | |
| Workouts | Yes | Any workout an app or device writes to Apple Health. |
MoveTogether counts one tracker rather than adding devices together, so totals can differ from the Apple Health app, which combines every device.
Sync timing
Within minutes
Apple Health sends new activity to MoveTogether in the background. Sync activity in the + menu pulls it in right away.
Scoring with Apple Health.
Every scoring method is fair here, because every device sends its data the same way. Two that suit it:
Apple Health questions, briefly answered.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Your iPhone counts steps and estimates active energy on its own. Any watch, ring, or app that syncs to Apple Health works too.
Does my Peloton or Tonal work?
Yes, if it saves workouts to Apple Health. Most connected gym gear does.
Why is my total lower than the Health app?
The Health app combines every device. MoveTogether counts only the tracker you picked.
Is there an Android version of this?
Yes. On Android, MoveTogether reads Health Connect instead. It is on Google Play.
