Connect Exercise Data Privately

Turn completed workouts from Apple Health or Health Connect into private Exercise Events without losing control of the facts or your reflection.

• 6 min
• connect exercise data
• Review Connected health services before choosing what to import.

Connected health services can turn a completed workout into a private Exercise Event. Logit keeps the imported facts separate from anything you write about the experience.

🎯 Use This When

• You already record workouts in Apple Health or Health Connect.
• You want exercise minutes to appear in your Health life area and Act ring.
• You want a private place to add notes or reflection after a workout.

🔒 What Stays Private

Imported Exercise Events start private and are never shared automatically. Logit does not use imported health data for advertising and does not use it to diagnose, treat, prevent, or predict a medical condition.

Routes can reveal sensitive places such as home or work. GPS route import is not currently available, and Logit does not store route payloads. It will remain unavailable until its separate consent, storage, retention, and release controls are complete.

✅ One Thing To Do Now

Open Self → Settings → Connected health services and read what the connected health service can import before granting permission.

How Import Works

In short: choose a service and data range, grant the first exercise permission, then optionally enable background checks or older history separately before Logit creates a private Exercise Event and leaves reflection to you.

Reflect And Connect The Workout To Act

An imported Exercise Event can ask three optional questions inside the event:

• How did that feel?
• What helped?
• Anything you want to repeat or change?

Energy and perceived effort are optional too. Choose Not now to leave this workout unanswered, or turn prompts off for that exercise type on this device. These answers are your writing; the connected service cannot replace them.

Manual and imported Exercise Events use the same workout details where they overlap. Choose a workout type first and Logit shows only the fields that fit: distance, pace, elevation, laps, heart rate, speed, cadence, power, steps, pool details, intervals, or match context as relevant. Choose Add workout details for the richer optional section. Strength and HIIT entries can add exercises, sets, reps, load, bodyweight or assisted work, set type, effort, rest, and whether the set was completed. Those richer details are your journal content; a connected service can fill only facts it actually supplied and cannot erase your set log.

Logit may also find a related workout habit, planned task, or goal. Review the reason, then confirm before anything changes. A confirmed task or habit uses the existing Exercise Event as its completion evidence. A confirmed goal link adds that same event as evidence without completing the goal. Exercise minutes do not silently count toward Act: choose Credit these minutes to Act first. That one confirmed credit remains single even when the event supports several goals.

What You Can Control

• Automatic creation of private Exercise Events.
• Future workouts only, or a selected historical range.
• Exercise types and a minimum duration.
• Whether manually entered workouts are included.
• Heart-rate summaries, when the connected health service and permission allow them.
• Heart-rate retention. GPS route import and retention are not currently available.
• Import notifications and whether connected health service updates refresh imported facts.

Background checks and access to older Health Connect history are not bundled into the first permission request. After connection, the Sync Trust Centre offers each as a separate optional upgrade. Without older-history access, Logit stays inside the normal recent-history window.

New exercises may appear in the background or the next time Logit opens. Sync now checks when the connected service allows it; iOS, Android, and the source app can influence timing.

Where Is My Workout?

Open a connected health service's Sync Trust Centre to see:

• when the phone last checked the connected service;
• when an exercise last imported successfully;
• whether records are waiting on the phone;
• which permissions are available or limited;
• why the latest record was skipped, in plain language; and
• the next safe troubleshooting action.

Choose Check the last 7 days to replay a bounded recent window. Repeated records update or link to the existing event instead of creating another one. Logit does not show technical logs, health values, private identifiers, or device error details in this view.

Connected health services

Logit keeps the original source when it is available, so an event can say, for example, Fitbit via Health Connect instead of hiding where it began. Samsung and Garmin origin labels can appear this way, but Logit does not offer direct Samsung Health or Garmin Connect connections.

Updates, Duplicates, And Disconnection

Repeated delivery should update or link to the existing Exercise Event, not create another one. If an imported workout resembles an event you wrote manually, Logit asks you to review the possible duplicate instead of silently merging your words.

The review inbox places the connected health service record beside your journal event and explains why they look similar. You can link them, keep both, ignore the import, or use the imported facts while preserving your writing. You can undo the last decision, approve several review-only imports as private events, and choose a preferred connected health service for an exercise type. If you previously changed an imported duration, distance, energy, elevation, heart-rate, speed, cadence, power, lap, or step value, Use imported value again resets only that field.

An update from a connected health service can refresh imported facts. It does not overwrite your title, notes, reflection, tags, audience, visibility, attachments, or an imported value you chose to override.

Disconnecting stops future imports. Existing Exercise Events and private notes stay in Logit. If the connected health service later deletes a source workout, the event explains that its source is unavailable instead of silently deleting your history.

Export, Retention, And Deletion

Open Connected health data to inspect source ownership and:

• export normalized records, provenance, consent history, and overrides;
• choose how long retained heart-rate summaries should remain (GPS routes are not currently imported or stored);
• delete imported facts while preserving the journal event and your reflection; or
• explicitly delete both imported facts and importer-created Exercise Events.

Logit previews affected counts and consequences before a disconnect or deletion. GPS route retention is unavailable because Logit does not currently import or store route payloads.

🌿 Why This Matters

Exercise can support the Act ring without turning private health data into a score or public performance. The useful part is a trustworthy record you can understand later, with sharing still under your control.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will every watch workout appear immediately?

No. Background timing is controlled partly by the phone and connected health service. Open Logit or choose Sync now if an exercise has not appeared yet.

Does disconnecting delete my Exercise Events?

No. Disconnecting stops future imports; existing events and your notes remain.

Why does older history ask for another permission?

Health Connect treats background reads and data older than its normal history window as additional access. Logit asks for each only after the first connection, so choosing basic exercise import does not silently expand permission.

Can I remove connected health service data without deleting my reflection?

Yes. Choose Delete imported facts in Connected health data. Review the preview, then confirm; the journal event and anything you authored remain. Deleting facts and events is a separate choice.

Can Logit import a GPS route without asking?

No. GPS route import is not available in the current release. A future route release will require separate consent and any connected-health-service-specific foreground permission before Logit can store route data.

Does Logit write changes back to Apple Health or Health Connect?

No. The connected-health exercise feature reads completed exercise data only.

Will a suggested Act match complete something automatically?

No. Logit explains the possible match and waits for your confirmation. If an item requires another kind of evidence, open it in Act to finish it there.

Can I stop the reflection prompt for one exercise type?

Yes. Choose Don't prompt for that exercise type. This preference is saved on the current device; the imported facts and existing Exercise Events are unchanged.
