Connecting Apple Health

Status: Available

Apple Health brings your runs and your overnight recovery from the iPhone.

What Runsei reads from it

  • Runs and workouts saved there, with walking and running distance
  • Heart rate
  • Resting heart rate
  • Heart rate variability (HRV)
  • Sleep
  • Weight

What Runsei can send to it

Planned sessions: no.

  • Planned sessions do not travel through Apple Health. For Apple Watch, see the Apple Watch page.

How to connect, step by step

  1. Open the Runsei app on your iPhone.
  2. Open Profile, then Data hub, find Apple Health and tap Turn on.
  3. Allow the types iOS lists. You can change them any time in the Health app.
  4. Recovery data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate) then arrives on its own each morning.

What does not work

  • Runsei can read only what is in Apple Health. If your watch’s app does not write there, it cannot arrive.
  • Runsei never writes to Apple Health.
  • Nothing is read from the web: it needs the iPhone app.
  • A Garmin watch sends its data to Runsei directly, so it does not need Apple Health.

What you need

Phone
An iPhone with the Runsei app.
App build
A current Runsei iPhone app.
Watch models
Any watch whose data appears in Apple Health, most of all Apple Watch. See the compatible devices below.
