Let the NeverChill Android app read your workouts, sleep and recovery data from Health Connect.

Updated 2026-10-15

What this is for

Health Connect is Android's place for health and fitness data from your phone, watch and other apps. Connect it and NeverChill can read your workouts plus your sleep, steps, weight, resting heart rate and HRV, right next to your training.

Before you start

  • You need the NeverChill app on your Android phone. There's no web sign-in for Health Connect.
  • This is not Google Fit and not a Google account sign-in. You grant Health Connect permissions in the NeverChill Android app.
  • Health Connect is part of NeverChill Pro. See Free vs Pro.
  • NeverChill only reads from Health Connect. It never writes health data.

What NeverChill reads

  • Workouts, including heart rate, power, cadence, distance and calories
  • Sleep, steps, weight, resting heart rate and HRV, if you allow them

You choose exactly which types to share on the Health Connect permission screen. NeverChill needs the exercise permission to bring in workouts. The other types are optional.

Workout routes (the map line) don't come across from Health Connect yet.

Connect Health Connect

  1. Tap Me, tap the settings gear, then tap Devices & apps under Integrations.
  2. Find the Health Connect card on the Devices & apps screen and tap Connect.
  3. Health Connect asks which data NeverChill can read. Turn on the types you want to share and allow access.
  4. The card shows Connected. Tap Sync now to bring your data in straight away.

How syncing works

Health Connect data stays on your phone, and NeverChill doesn't read it in the background. Open the NeverChill app now and then, or tap Sync now. The card shows Last sync with the time and how many workouts were saved.

If NeverChill hasn't heard from your phone for a while, Health Connect shows Sync delayed in Devices & apps. Open the app to catch up.

Troubleshooting

  • The card says Permission needed. Tap it to open the permission screen again, or change access in the Health Connect settings on your phone.
  • The card says Unavailable. Health Connect isn't installed or isn't ready on this phone. Install or update Health Connect from Google Play, then try again.
  • The last sync did not finish. Try Sync now. Tap Sync now.
  • Some data is missing. Check that you allowed that data type in Health Connect.
  • My workout has no map. Routes don't come across from Health Connect yet. Upload the ride file instead. See Upload a FIT, GPX or TCX file.
