Connect Guthly to Google Fit to sync your steps, workouts, heart rate, and wellness data for a seamless Android health tracking experience.

Product Team
Google Fit is Android's central health hub, and Guthly's integration connects to it through Health Connect — the modern, privacy-first data layer built into Android. This means your steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts flow seamlessly between both apps.
Better yet, the sync is bidirectional. Guthly reads your Google Fit data to power AI insights and habit tracking, and writes your Guthly workouts and nutrition back so everything stays in sync. No manual entry, no data silos.
Bidirectional sync — Guthly reads from and writes to Google Fit via Health Connect.

What You Can Do
Unified Health Dashboard
See steps, sleep, heart rate, workouts, and nutrition on a single Guthly dashboard instead of jumping between apps.
AI Insights with Full Context
Guthly's AI analyzes Google Fit data alongside your habits and nutrition to find patterns you'd otherwise miss.
Two-Way Workout Sync
Log a gym session in Guthly and it appears in Google Fit. Record a run in Google Fit and Guthly tracks the habit.
Smarter Goal Setting
Set step or active-minute goals in Guthly that auto-complete when Google Fit registers the activity.
Pro Tips
Enable Background Sync
Keep Health Connect running in the background so your data stays up-to-date without opening either app.
Sync Before Bed
Trigger a manual sync in the evening to make sure your full day of activity is reflected in Guthly's nightly summary.
Fine-Tune Permissions
Only enable write-back for categories you actually want in Google Fit — this keeps both apps clean and avoids duplicates.
Pair a Wearable
Google Fit data is much richer with a Wear OS watch or Pixel Watch. Heart rate and sleep tracking improve dramatically.
