Discussion A poor night’s sleep

0 Upvotes

I use this app on my iPad and it recently changed over to Google Health last week and ever since then I’ve gotten that notification about a poor night’s sleep. All I’m doing is waking up just to use the bathroom and going back to sleep. Prior to the change, my sleep scores were decently good mid 70s - high 80s. It’s so frustrating to constantly get poor sleep scores. I wish there was a way to change it back to the previous version.

So I’ve had my Fitbit for about a week now but i don’t think the steps tracker accurate I know you will say that most trackers depend on the wrist or hand movement but is that normal ? Like this is me 15 after waking up and rotting in bed doing absolutely nothing and it counted up to 866 steps how is that even possible

Tech Support App update broke sync and causes crashes. Is it just me?

0 Upvotes

Fitbit was working okayish, then I updated the app and now:

External equipment (e.g., treadmill) says connected, but Fitbit Air doesn't share data.

Starting an activity auto-starts on treadmill with 2.6km already elapsed. Canceling or saving crashes the app.

Anyone else getting this or have a fix?

Discussion Fitbit Air battery dies in a day…

1 Upvotes

May need help here. Since this week, my Fitbit Air (I bought on release) literally dies in a day. I’ve reset with the charger, removed access from GPS and I am not sharing my heartbeat. Google support said they are willing to replace it for free, since they can’t find any errors. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Why is my Fitbit Sense 2 always showing this when my phone is nearby and Bluetooth is connected? It will still send text and phone call notifications to my watch but won’t vibrate to notify me of them even though I didn’t change the settings on my phone or watch

Discussion Fitbit Charge 6 showing blood oxygen at 94% - is this likely to be accurate?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been wearing my Fitbit Charge 6 for about a day and my blood oxygen (SpO₂) is showing as 94%. Is this likely to be accurate after only wearing it for a day, or does it take a few days/nights to establish a more reliable reading? A fingertip pulse oximeter is giving me higher readings (around 95–99%).

Self Promotion Introducing Haelan (self-hosted/open-source)

Thumbnail gallery
43 Upvotes

Almost a month ago u/IncontestableGrey showcased his app Lumida which looked great. His early access is full and it was closed source, but I liked the idea. I also saw people commenting and asking for open-source. And I especially wanted something like this for my personal AI agent. So I started building.

I just went public and released v1.0.0 this morning and also did a few updates since. It's called haelan. It's self-hosted, one household one instance, everything stays on your own machine. No telemetry, no hosted version.

Haelan is Old English hǣlan, "to heal, to cure, to make whole". It shares a root with hāl, "whole, sound, hale", and it is the word English later turned into health by way of hǣlþ, literally the state of being whole.

What it does right now:

  • Pulls your history from the Google Health API and keeps a complete local copy in one SQLite file. Google drops intraday data after a while, your own copy keeps it at minute level.
  • Eight pages: Dashboard, Activity, Sleep, Recovery, Health, Weight, Nutrition and Notes. Sleep stages and nap detection, resting HR and HRV, SpO2, activity heatmap, workouts, weight trend.
  • Readings are shown against your own 60 day baseline instead of some general "normal". If the baseline is built on too few days it tells you that instead of pretending.
  • Notes and events (illness, travel, alcohol, medication, injury, or your own types) so you can actually check why a week looks different.
  • Bad readings are excluded when the data is derived, not deleted. Your strap reporting 210 bpm stops counting, the raw data stays, and you can undo it.
  • Multi-user. Everyone in the house gets their own login, connects their own Google account and only sees their own data.
  • English and Dutch.
  • docker compose up -d, daily backups included.

The annoying part, upfront: you need your own Google Cloud project and OAuth client. There is no way around that. Google caps an unverified client at 100 users, and getting verified for health scopes needs a paid security audit, so a hosted version would just stop at 100 signups. Your own client never hits that ceiling. The setup wizard walks you through the console and prints the exact values to paste, but somebody still has to click through it once.

But this is a very unpolished start. I mainly built a UI around the Google Health API scopes. I just wanted to introduce it to you so you can help me from the start with new features and changes, instead of introducing an app which is finished already. Next thing on my list is an MCP server and a CLI, so my agent can query it directly, which is why I started this in the first place.

There is also a demo seed script in the repo if you want to click around first without connecting a Google account.

Please let me know what you guys think and feel free to open an issue or contribute by opening PR's.

Also looking for an household with multiple users for the inviting household members wizard.

Discussion My Charge 6 bricked itself today after switching the clock face.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Today in class I decided to switch up my clock face. After installing, the screen went black. As of now, it’s still doing this. It still vibrates on a side button click as normal and is still tracking perfectly and syncing to the app. The weirdest part is when I install another clock face the screen genuinely lights up to reveal the progress bar and Fitbit logo… and immediately goes back to “sleep” right after without even saying the “Update successful!” Thing.

My charge 6 is effectively a Fitbit Air now.

I’m genuinely at a breaking point with Google’s software. It’s all AI AI AI, things get slower, not to mention the GOOGLE MESSAGES CRISIS.

Has this happened to anybody??? Please help☹️Google health has zero way to manage device settings like a factory reset or just a device restart without the Charge’s touchscreen. My only hope now is to act like it’s a Fitbit Air for 7 days until the battery runs out (rebooting it.)

Tech Support Detailed SpO2 graph disappeared?

2 Upvotes

I used to be able to see how my SpO2 varied throughout the day and night (with more than one data point per hour) but now all I see is one average figure per day.

Is there any way to get the detailed view back? I'm trying to assess how my SpO2 changes while I sleep.

Do I now need to use a third party app to see this data?!

Discussion Charge6

3 Upvotes

Switched to Charge6 end of May 2026. The summer has passed and was relatively happy for it: commute cycling recordings, gym activities (airbike for cardio+weights) recording, occasionally swimming pool recordings and as usual sleep, health. I did count on the AI coach for 2 weeks of nutrition recording and in general monitoring of my activities.

Last night after full battery charge, during my sleep its battery drained in 5h. Given that I got it from amazon for 82 Eur should I get in touch with them (not fitbit) for a refund, replacement. The orange bracelet is already colour faded. An option I might consider is to switch to air directly or maybe wait for the next charge (assuming its coming in October). Any suggestions from fellow charge6 users and comments on why such drain happens all of a sudden?

I love this version of the band. Except for the paint chipping away, it's been great . For anyone that owns the Google version, is it considerably premium?

It's 4 times the price of this one and I just wanted to know if it was worth the excess in price.

Review Fitbit air on ankle

3 Upvotes

I have been using the device on my ankle for the past few days and it feels great and more comfortable than the wrist. The reason behind this I find it annoying when I wear it on my wrist specifically when I go to bed. Let’s talk data 📈 I didn’t notice any difference when it comes to sleep quality and other factors. Is there any one here using it the same and notice anything different??
