Apple Health Setup

ONWRD can directly connect to Apple Health to pull your workout and wellness data. This is an alternative to the Intervals.icu integration for iOS users who prefer a simpler setup.

1) Enable Apple Health Access

1. Open the ONWRD app on your iPhone
2. Go to Settings → Integrations
3. Tap Apple Health
4. Tap Connect
5. When the Apple Health permission screen appears, enable access for:
   • Workouts
   • Heart Rate
   • Resting Heart Rate
   • Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
   • Sleep Analysis
   • Active Energy
6. Tap Allow to confirm

2) Supported Data Types

ONWRD reads the following data from Apple Health:

• Workouts: Running, cycling, swimming, and other activities
• Heart Rate: During workouts and throughout the day
• HRV: Heart rate variability for readiness assessment
• Sleep: Sleep duration and quality
• Resting Heart Rate: Daily resting HR trends

3) Data Sources

Apple Health aggregates data from multiple sources. ONWRD will read data from:

• Apple Watch: Workouts, HR, HRV, sleep
• iPhone: Step count, walking/running distance
• Third-party apps: Any app that writes to Apple Health

Tip: For best results, use an Apple Watch for workout tracking to capture heart rate data automatically.

4) Verify Connection

After connecting:

• Your recent workouts will sync within a few minutes
• Wellness data (sleep, HRV) will be imported
• Check Settings → Integrations to see sync status

Troubleshooting

Data not syncing?

1. Open iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → ONWRD
2. Ensure all required data types are enabled
3. In ONWRD, try disconnecting and reconnecting Apple Health

Missing workouts?

• Make sure workouts are recorded in Apple Health
