Habits where this source is useful.
- Walking, running, and daily movement habits
- Sleep consistency habits with a clear duration target
- Fitness habits where a metric is better proof than a manual tap
Proof examples
What can count as a check-in.
- Check in a walking habit when Google Health reports enough steps.
- Complete a sleep habit when the longest non-nap sleep session reaches the target.
- Record active-zone-minute, distance, or calorie proof without asking the user to re-enter the number.
How it works
From source signal to habit check-in.
- 01
Connect Google Health from Main Character settings or the Google Health connection page.
- 02
Choose a supported health metric as the check-in method for a recurring habit.
- 03
Main Character syncs the metric and checks the habit in when the daily target is met.
- 04
Manual check-ins remain available when the source is delayed or unavailable.
Privacy boundaries
Proof stays scoped.
- Google Health is separate from Google sign-in.
- Main Character asks only for the read-only activity, fitness, and sleep access needed for supported metrics.
- Imported health observations, summaries, sync jobs, proof rules, and completion evidence are deleted when Google Health is disconnected.
FAQ
Common questions.
Does Google Health replace manual habit check-ins?
No. Google Health can complete eligible habits automatically, but manual check-ins stay available as a fallback.
Is Google Health the same as Google login?
No. Google Health uses a separate source connection for health metrics and does not reuse Google sign-in tokens.
