Important Notes
One-Way Sync: Data only syncs from Fitbit to Habitify. Logging a habit in Habitify will not create an activity in Fitbit.
No Manual Logging: Once a habit is linked to Fitbit, you cannot manually check it off in Habitify. It will only complete when the matching data is found in your Fitbit account.
Sync Frequency: Habitify periodically pulls data from Fitbit. If your activity doesn't appear immediately, please allow a few moments for the data to refresh.
