Android integration
Sync steps, sleep, workouts, and weight with Health Connect.
Connect Android Health Connect to read activity and measurements that other apps have saved there. Choose the categories Moodwell can access; syncing runs while the Android app is open and does not write back to Health Connect.
How do I connect Health Connect to Moodwell?
Open Connected devices in Moodwell settings
Health Connect setup is available in the Android app.
Choose the permissions you want to share
Android shows a system permission screen. Moodwell cannot read a category you do not approve.
Return to Moodwell and sync
Keep Moodwell open while it reads your selected categories. Check the sync status in Connected devices, then look for the imported activity and measurements in your account.

Limits and troubleshooting
If records do not appear.
Check Health Connect availability
Install or update Health Connect if Moodwell reports that the connection is not ready.
Review individual permissions
A connected status does not guarantee every data category is approved. Open the system permission screen to confirm.
Keep the app open
The current sync does not run in the background. Let Moodwell remain open while it completes.
Understand history limits
The first sync requests up to 30 days of history, or up to 180 days if you grant older-history access on a compatible Health Connect provider. It can only import records that exist in Health Connect; granting access does not create missing history.
Connect the records you choose.
Get Moodwell on Android and manage Health Connect from app settings.
Questions, answered
Health Connect sync questions
Check the source records and permissions when data is missing or a device is not appearing.
Explore all FAQsWill my watch connect directly to Moodwell?
Moodwell reads Health Connect rather than connecting directly to each watch. Your device’s companion app must first write the relevant records to Health Connect. Check that app’s sharing settings and confirm the records appear in Health Connect before syncing Moodwell.
Follow the Android sync walkthroughWhy are only some data categories showing?
A category needs both a permission grant and records from a source app. For example, approving sleep access will not produce sleep history if no app has written any. Check the category permissions in Android, your choices in Moodwell Connected devices, and the source app’s latest sync.
Get help with a missing syncDoes Moodwell sync while it is closed?
No. This version syncs in the foreground when you open or resume Moodwell, or choose Sync now. Keep the app open and connected to the internet while syncing. It does not request background health-data access.
Get the Android appHow do I stop sharing Health Connect data?
Change Moodwell’s category permissions in Android Health Connect or disconnect the integration from Moodwell settings. This stops future reads for those categories. Request account deletion separately if you want to remove the records already stored in your Moodwell account.
