Google Health and Fitbit, on every leaderboard.
Connect your Google Health/Fitbit account so supported activity lands on the same competition leaderboard as friends using Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, and other MoveTogether data sources.
Connect your Google Health/Fitbit account.
You sign in on Google's authorization page and grant MoveTogether read access to your activity data. We receive an OAuth token bound to those permissions — your password never reaches our servers, and you can revoke access anytime from your Google account.
Google Health/Fitbit is available now. If authorization expires, reconnect it from Settings → Data Sources.
Devices connected to your provider account.
Device and metric availability depends on what your connected Google Health/Fitbit account exposes to MoveTogether. Check Data Sources in the app after connecting.
- Fitbit activity trackers
- Fitbit smartwatches
- Other devices exposed through Google Health/Fitbit
What we read from Google Health / Fitbit.
MoveTogether normalizes a small set of activity metrics across every supported wearable. Here’s what specifically comes through from Google Health / Fitbit.
Sync cadence
Every 15–30 minutes
We poll Google Health/Fitbit on a regular cadence — usually every 15 to 30 minutes — bound by how often your device syncs. If you want a fresh sync, open its companion app, then pull-to-refresh in MoveTogether.
Manage Google Health/Fitbit in Data Sources.
The in-app Data Sources screen is the source of truth for connection status and the devices available through your provider account.
Connect.
Open Settings → Data Sources, choose Google Health/Fitbit, and complete the provider authorization flow.
Review.
Return to Data Sources to confirm the connection and review which health metrics it contributes.
Reconnect when needed.
If the provider is paused or its authorization expires, use the reconnect action in Data Sources.
Check before relying on a device.
Provider and device support can vary by account. Confirm that activity appears in MoveTogether before relying on it for a competition.
If activity is missing, sync the provider first, then pull to refresh in MoveTogether and review Data Sources.
Best scoring methods for Google Health / Fitbit.
Google Health / Fitbit users tend to live in the steps world. The best matches:
Step Count
The Fitbit lineup's classic competitive lane. Points per step is what most native Fitbit-style challenges look like; we preserve that feeling.
Percentage of Goals
Fair across mixed-device groups. A 5,000-step day for someone working back from injury counts as much as 15,000 for a marathon trainer.
Google Health / Fitbit questions, briefly answered.
I just heard the Fitbit app is going away — does MoveTogether still work?
MoveTogether connects at the provider-account level. Google Health/Fitbit is available now; use Settings → Data Sources to connect or refresh authorization.
Where do I check connection status?
Open Settings → Data Sources. It shows the current status and any reconnect action that is available.
Does MoveTogether work with Google Pixel Watch?
Google Health/Fitbit is available as a current data source. Check Data Sources in the app for the providers and devices available to your account.
What if MoveTogether asks me to reconnect?
Open Settings → Data Sources, select Google Health/Fitbit, and complete the provider sign-in again to refresh authorization.
Do I need a paid provider subscription?
MoveTogether does not require a separate paid provider subscription, though the provider controls which data and device features are available to your account.
Is my Google account password stored anywhere on MoveTogether?
No. We use OAuth — you sign in on Google's own authorization page. We only ever receive an access token bound to the permissions you approved, never your password.
What happened to Fitbit's own challenges and the Fitbit community?
Those continue to live inside the Fitbit ecosystem and are separate from MoveTogether. We're the cross-platform layer — your Google Health / Fitbit account can compete against friends on Apple Watch, Garmin, and WHOOP, on the same leaderboard, with fair scoring.
Will all my workout types come through?
Supported workouts exposed by your provider account can flow into MoveTogether and count toward Workout Count scoring.
