Connected devices is where you link what sends your health data to Betterness. Open Settings, then Connected devices.
These are the sources you can connect today:
- Garmin, Oura, Peloton, Wahoo and Withings. You link these by signing in to the provider.
- Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. These connect only inside the Betterness app.
- Eight Sleep. You link it by signing in with your Eight Sleep account, and it brings sleep stages, heart rate and bed temperature.
Link Garmin, Oura, Peloton, Wahoo or Withings:

Two things can interrupt that flow. If your browser blocks the pop-up, the whole tab is redirected to the provider instead. The connect window opens again when you return.
Some providers ask you to sign in or create a free account with them first. Finish that in their window and come back. Your connection stays in progress and picks up where it left off.

Each card carries a status badge, so you can see what is happening at a glance:

- Paused. You stopped the sync and can resume it.
- Linked. The account is connected.
- Needs reconnect. The permissions were wiped, usually after reinstalling the app. Reconnect to start the data flowing again.

Under the name of each source you also see what it contributes: Sleep, Activity, Body or Vitals.
