CarbiGo syncs with your device's on-board health storage — Apple Health on iPhone or Google Health Connect on Android. CarbiGo doesn't connect directly to your wearable or fitness device. Instead, your device (Garmin, Oura, Withings, Fitbit, Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Strava, etc.) syncs its data to Apple Health or Health Connect, and CarbiGo reads it from there.
How to set it up
Make sure your wearable or fitness device syncs to your phone's health app. Most devices do this automatically through their own companion app (e.g., Garmin Connect, Oura, Fitbit). Check your device's settings if you're not sure.
Grant CarbiGo permission to read from Apple Health or Health Connect. You'll be asked during onboarding, but you can also do it later from your profile.
That's it — once your device writes data to Apple Health or Health Connect, CarbiGo will pick it up automatically.
When you'll be asked for permissions
During onboarding — the health app connection is one of the first steps. If you grant access, your latest weight and height are pulled in automatically.
Later in the app — some features may request additional permissions as you use them. You can grant or skip at any time.
Good to know
CarbiGo requests permission for steps, weight, height, and workouts.
You don't have to grant all permissions — CarbiGo works gracefully with whatever you allow. You won't be nagged about missing permissions.
Once connected, your historical data syncs automatically (up to 30 days of history). After that, new data syncs incrementally.
CarbiGo only reads your health data — it doesn't write to your health app.
