How it works

From source signal to habit check-in.

    Record a workout with the Workout app. Apple Watch saves it to Apple Health automatically.

  2. 02

    Allow Main Character to read Workouts from Apple Health.

  3. 03

    Choose a workout type and optional time or distance target for a habit.

  4. 04

    Main Character checks the habit in after a matching workout appears in Apple Health.

Privacy boundaries

Your data stays scoped.

  • Main Character does not sign in to Apple Watch Workout or access your Apple Watch Workout account directly.
  • Workout access is read-only through Apple Health.
  • Workout routes, descriptions, calories, and device details are not used for automatic check-ins.

Is this a direct Apple Watch Workout integration?

No. Apple Watch Workout sends the workout to Apple Health. Main Character reads the workout from Apple Health with your permission.

What can make the habit check in?

You can use any workout, a workout category, a minimum duration, or a distance target for supported activities.

Can I still check in manually?
