Health Sync seamlessly syncs your data between health and fitness platforms. • SYNC FROM: Apple Health, Coros, Google Health (Fitbit), Garmin Connect, HUAWEI Health, Oura, Polar Flow, Strava, and Suunto. • SYNC TO: Apple Health, Coros, Google Health (Fitbit), Guava, HUAWEI Health, Intervals.icu, Runalyze, Selfloops, Strava, Suunto, and TrainItAll. It will sync data from the time you first use the app. Historical data (all data before the day of installation) can be synced after the free trial period. With Garmin Connect you can sync the last five years of activity data, and the last two years of other data (steps, sleep, heart rate etc.). With Polar Flow you can't sync historical data. The sync runs automatically in the background a few times per hour (due to iOS restrictions on background processes). Activity GPS data is synced to Apple Health when the phone screen is unlocked. If activity data is synced while the phone is locked, Health Sync will add the GPS data to the Apple Health workout data the next time you open the Health Sync app. Syncing from Apple Health requires your phone to be unlocked. Health Sync is very easy to use. It offers a one-week free trial period. After the trial period, you can make a one-time purchase (lifetime license) to continue using the app and access the historical data sync option. Try the app and see if it fits your needs. The data you can sync depends on the source app from which you sync data and the destination app(s) to which you sync the data. Health Sync uses a privacy-by-design approach. The sync processes data on your phone, not on cloud servers. Your data won't be used and can't be accessed by others. Read the privacy policy for details. Syncing between health data apps sometimes doesn't work as expected. Don't worry; almost all issues can be solved easily. You can check the Help Center menu in Health Sync. If you can't resolve the issue, you can send a Health Sync problem report (the last option in the Help Center menu) or email info@appyhapps.nl. You will receive support to solve the sync issue.

No menus, no endless clicks. Just describe the workout and it's done. CONNECT IT TO CLAUDE OR CHATGPT Shape runs an MCP server, so Claude and ChatGPT can read your training and edit your plan. Ask how your week is shaping up, have it build the next block, move a session when work gets in the way. Any MCP client works. There is a full API behind it, and your data stays yours. START WITH TODAY Open Shape and the Today tab tells you what the day asks of you. Readiness scores your morning against your own baseline, from sleep, resting heart rate and HRV, and shows you which of those moved rather than just a number. Training Load Balance says whether you are doing too much or too little, and it looks ahead: your planned workouts extend the line, so you see a spike coming before you train it. Fitness, fatigue and form (CTL, ATL and TSB) project forward from your plan, so you know what shape you will be in on race day. Underneath sits the rest of your morning: sleep, VO2 max, weight, steps and every other daily metric from Apple Health and Garmin. SEE YOUR LOAD There's a chart at the top of your calendar showing training load over time. You'll see the impact of planned workouts before you do them. Spot when you're planning too much and adjust before it's too late. Tap the chart to see more details and tap a bar to see the weekly load. SYNC TO YOUR WATCH Workouts sync to Apple Watch and Garmin. Follow structured intervals step-by-step on your wrist. When you're done, completed workouts sync back and update your load automatically. SYNC TO YOUR CALENDAR Your training plan syncs to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and more. See your workouts alongside the rest of your life. PHONE AND WEB Use Shape on your iPhone or on the web — everything stays in sync. The big screen calendar is great for planning your week, month, or entire season. Quick edits on your phone when you're on the go. WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR Connect Apple Health, Garmin, and Wahoo. Shape pulls in your completed activities so your AI recommendations improve based on what you've actually done. THE BACKSTORY I'm Samuel, a design engineer who can't stop running, cycling, and skiing. I ran the Stockholm half marathon with a cold and ended up with pneumonia. Spent months rebuilding from 15-minute walks back to real training. I built Shape to plan that comeback — now it's how I train smarter every day.
