Automate your health and fitness tracking by connecting your Fitbit data directly to your habits in Habitify. This powerful integration automatically logs your progress for steps, sleep, workouts, and more, saving you time and keeping your data accurate.
Please note: Fitbit integration is a Premium feature. This guide covers the setup process on the Habitify website and desktop apps.
For the guidance on iOS and Android app, please check here.
Add New Habit linked with Fitbit
To add habits, kindly click the blue button "+ Add habit" on the bottom action bar of the habit list view, then choose "Create Good Habit"
In the window that appears, select the Fitbit tab at the top.
Choose the type of data you want to track from the list of supported categories, such as Steps, Sleep, Calories Burned, or Workout.
Authorize the Connection to Your Fitbit
You will be taken to the habit setup screen. Before you can configure your habit, you must connect your Fitbit account.
Click the "Allow Access" button.
A Fitbit pop-up window will open. Log in to your Fitbit account and grant Habitify permission to access your activity data.
Configure Your Habit Details
Once the connection is successful, the "Allow Access" button will disappear. Now, you can set up the rest of your habit's details just like a normal habit (e.g., Habit Name, Repeat schedule, Area, etc.).
When setting your Goal, please pay close attention to the unit, as it must match the data Fitbit provides.
Click "Save" to create the habit. From now on, whenever your Fitbit syncs new data, your progress will automatically sync to this habit!
Important Notes and Rules
Please keep the following points in mind when using the Fitbit integration:
Unit Limitations
The goal unit for a Fitbit habit must match the data Fitbit tracks. For example, you can set a goal for Steps (e.g., 10,000 steps), Sleep (e.g., 8 hours), or Calories Burned (e.g., 500 kcal).
No Manual Logging
To ensure data accuracy, Fitbit-linked habits are fully automated. You cannot manually log progress, skip, or fail these habits. Your progress is determined solely by your synced Fitbit data.
Removing the Integration
You can remove the Fitbit integration from a habit at any time within its settings. However, please be aware of two important consequences:
All previously synced Fitbit data for that habit will be permanently deleted.
The integration cannot be re-linked to that same habit. If you want to connect it to Fitbit again, you will need to create a new habit from scratch.
We hope this powerful integration helps you stay consistent with your fitness goals.

Happy tracking!
