Feature

Apple Health and Health Connect

Plates syncs your completed workouts and body weight measurements to Apple Health (iOS) and Google Health Connect (Android) automatically. Your strength training data shows up alongside your runs, sleep, and other health metrics without any manual entry.

What syncs

Workout sessions

Every completed workout writes to your health platform as a strength training (or HIIT for interval workouts) session:

Start and end time
Total duration
Workout name
Activity type (strength/HIIT)

Body weight

Weight entries logged in Plates sync to your health platform. Optionally import past weight entries from Apple Health or Health Connect into Plates:

Weight in kg or lbs (your preference)
Timestamp per entry
Bidirectional (write + optional import)

How it works

Enable once - toggle Health Sync in Settings, grant permission when prompted
Automatic writes - workouts sync on completion, weight syncs on entry
Duplicate prevention - Plates filters out its own data when importing to prevent loops
Granular control - toggle workouts, weight, and body fat independently
No account required - health sync works in local-only mode

Privacy-first design

Plates never reads health data you didn't explicitly allow. The permission request only asks for the specific data types you've enabled in settings. Your health data stays on-device (Apple Health and Health Connect are both local-first), and Plates never uploads it to any server.

Why integrate?

Complete picture - see strength training alongside cardio, sleep, and nutrition in one place
Move rings / activity goals - workouts count toward your daily activity on Apple Watch and Fitbit
Cross-app weight data - weight logged in Plates is available to other apps that read Health data
No double logging - log once in Plates, it appears everywhere else automatically
