How Vora gets each source’s data today
This table is checked against the connection code in Vora’s iPhone and Android apps, not against marketing copy. Direct means Vora connects to the service itself. Apple Health and Health Connect mean the source app shares its records with your phone’s health hub, and Vora reads them there.
When a release note names a connection, the version is listed. Every release is in the Vora changelog.
| Source | Vora on iPhone | Vora on Android | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oura Ring | Direct Oura connection, or Apple Health | Direct Oura connection, or Health Connect | The Oura Ring integration first appears in the version 2.2 release notes (March 2026). The direct connection is free on every Vora plan. The direct connection imports sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature deviation, blood oxygen, steps, active energy and workouts, including your Oura history. If the same Oura data also reaches Vora through Apple Health or Health Connect, Vora keeps both sources and decides which one to use for each metric. Choosing the source for a metric yourself needs Vora Pro. |
| Garmin | Direct Garmin connection, or Apple Health | Direct Garmin connection, or Health Connect | The direct Garmin connection first appears in the version 3.3.4 release notes (September 2026). The direct connection is free on every Vora plan. The direct connection imports your history and keeps syncing in the background after your watch syncs, without the Garmin Connect app open. Garmin’s Body Battery and Training Readiness scores are not brought in as Vora metrics. If the same Garmin data also reaches Vora through Apple Health or Health Connect, Vora keeps both sources and decides which one to use for each metric. Choosing the source for a metric yourself needs Vora Pro. |
| Fitbit | Direct Fitbit connection (Fitbit does not share with Apple Health) | Direct Fitbit connection, or Health Connect | Direct spots are limited while Google verifies Vora’s Fitbit access. When they are full, the Fitbit screen in Vora says more spots are coming soon. The direct connection is free on every Vora plan. If the same data also reaches Vora from another source, such as Health Connect on Android or another wearable, Vora keeps both sources and decides which one to use for each metric. Choosing the source for a metric yourself needs Vora Pro. |
| WHOOP | Direct WHOOP connection (beta), or Apple Health | Direct WHOOP connection (beta), or Health Connect | The direct connection is in beta with limited spots. WHOOP limits how many members can connect while it reviews Vora. The direct connection is free on every Vora plan. The direct connection imports HRV, resting heart rate, blood oxygen and skin temperature from WHOOP recoveries, sleep stages and respiratory rate from sleeps, and WHOOP workouts with strain. It does not import WHOOP’s recovery score or day strain. |
| Samsung Health | Not available (Samsung Health does not share with Apple Health) | Health Connect, plus a direct Samsung Health connection on Android 10 or later | The direct Samsung Health connection reads Samsung Health on the same phone and needs the Samsung Health app. It adds Samsung’s Energy Score, skin temperature and fuller body composition, such as skeletal muscle mass and body water. Vora does not receive HRV, resting heart rate or respiratory rate from Samsung Health through either route. |
| Apple Health | Built in: Vora reads Apple Health on your iPhone | Not available (Android uses Health Connect instead) | Most devices and apps reach Vora on iPhone by sharing their records with Apple Health first. Vora can write each food you log, finished workouts (with the route of an outdoor run), mindful sessions, water and manually logged sleep back to Apple Health. |
| Health Connect | Not available (iPhone uses Apple Health instead) | Vora reads Health Connect on your Android phone | You choose each data type in Health Connect. Vora syncs whatever you allow, and a type you turn off leaves out only that metric. Health Connect lets an app read up to 30 days of data from before you first grant access. If your phone offers access to past data and you allow it, Vora imports up to a year. Without background access, updates may wait until you open Vora. If you allow it, Vora writes the meals, water and finished workouts you log in Vora back to Health Connect. |
| Google Fit | No Google Fit connection | Health Connect (records Google Fit writes there) | Vora has no direct Google Fit account connection on either phone. |
| Strava | Apple Health (activities Strava shares there) | Health Connect (activities Strava shares there) | There is no direct Strava connection in the Vora app today. |
| Peloton | Apple Health (turn on write access in the Peloton app) | Health Connect (turn on read and write in the Peloton app) | There is no direct Peloton account connection. Rides, runs and classes arrive with heart rate and active energy when Peloton shares them. |
| Eight Sleep | Apple Health | Health Connect | Eight Sleep joins Vora’s sources in the iPhone release notes for version 3.3.0 (August 2026). There is no direct Eight Sleep account connection, and no Vora subscription is needed to read Eight Sleep data. Through Apple Health, Eight Sleep shares sleep stages, heart rate and respiratory rate, but not HRV. Through Health Connect it also shares HRV and resting heart rate. |
| COROS | Apple Health | Health Connect | There is no direct COROS account connection. Workouts, steps, distance, heart rate and sleep arrive when the COROS app shares them. |
| Polar | Apple Health (from the Polar Flow app) | Health Connect (from the Polar Flow app) | There is no direct Polar Flow account connection. Workouts, heart rate, steps and sleep arrive when Polar Flow shares them. |
| Ultrahuman Ring | Apple Health (turned on from inside Apple Health) | Health Connect | There is no direct Ultrahuman account connection. Unlike most rings, Ultrahuman shares HRV, along with skin temperature, steps, energy and sleep. |
| MyFitnessPal | Apple Health | Health Connect | There is no direct MyFitnessPal account connection and no full diary import. Calories, macros, water and weight arrive when MyFitnessPal shares them. |
| Cronometer | Apple Health | Health Connect | There is no direct Cronometer account connection, and no Vora subscription is needed to read Cronometer data. Calories, macros, micronutrients and water arrive when Cronometer shares them. |
| Flo | Apple Health | Health Connect | There is no direct Flo account connection. Cycle records arrive when Flo shares them. |
| TrainingPeaks | Not available | Not available | Vora does not connect to TrainingPeaks on iPhone or Android today. |
Find the route for your wearable
Start with your phone and the service that holds your records. A watch measuring a value does not guarantee that its companion app shares that value with Vora.
Connect from Vora settings
On iPhone or Android, open Settings, then Connections. Choose your wearable service for a direct connection, or choose Apple Health or Health Connect for phone health sharing.
Sync your wearable first
Open its companion app and confirm that a recent night or workout is there.
Choose the connection in Vora
Follow the sign-in or permission screen. For health sharing, the source app must be allowed to write records and Vora must be allowed to read them.
Compare one record
Return to Vora and compare the same date, data type and source. Check the connection status and use its sync control if available.
Health and fitness apps
Apps such as Strava, Ultrahuman, MyFitnessPal and Flo can share supported records through a phone health hub. Turn sharing on in the source app, then allow Vora to read those categories.
This does not copy every screen, proprietary score or complete food diary. MyFitnessPal nutrition records shared through a health hub are different from importing its recipes and individual diary entries.
Keep your calendar in view
Open Calendars in Vora’s connection settings to see the accounts and calendars available on your phone. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook have different setup paths and platform availability. Calendar permissions are separate from wearable permissions. Choose the calendars you want to share.
What is free?
The Vora wearable connections described here are free on every plan. Barcode food scanning, workout logging, available TikTok exercise tutorials and TikTok recipe import are also included in Vora Free.
Your wearable provider’s own device, account and membership requirements still apply. The direct Fitbit and WHOOP connections have limited spots, so one must be available.
What we checked
We checked the connection code in Vora’s iPhone and Android apps, and the release notes inside both apps, on September 14, 2026. This is a guide to connection paths, not a hands-on test of every wearable.
Data availability depends on your app version, device, permissions and provider. Sync timing can vary. Check a recent record after setup instead of relying only on a Connected label.
Common questions
Does Vora work on Android as well as iPhone?
Yes. Vora is available on both. iPhone uses Apple Health and Android uses Health Connect for phone health sharing. Oura, Garmin, Fitbit and WHOOP (beta) connect directly on both platforms, and Samsung Health connects directly on Android.
Which services connect directly to Vora?
Oura, Garmin, Fitbit and WHOOP (beta) on iPhone and Android, plus Samsung Health on Android. Other devices and apps, such as Strava, Polar, COROS, Eight Sleep and MyFitnessPal, share their records through Apple Health or Health Connect.
Why can’t I connect Fitbit or WHOOP directly?
Both direct connections have limited spots while Google and WHOOP review Vora. When spots are full, the connection screen in Vora says so. WHOOP can still share records through Apple Health or Health Connect, and Fitbit can use Health Connect on Android.
Is the WHOOP integration free?
Yes. The direct WHOOP connection is free in Vora and is in beta with limited spots. WHOOP’s own device and membership requirements still apply.
Does every metric from my watch sync?
No. Available records depend on the connection, permissions and provider. A direct connection and a health hub may expose different data. Check the data list in the connection screen.
Is syncing always instant?
No. The wearable must sync with its companion app and the provider must process the record. Phone permissions, background restrictions and the connection route can affect timing.
Can Vora import my entire MyFitnessPal diary?
The switching guide covers manual setup. Health sharing can transfer supported nutrition records, but that is not a complete import of diary entries, saved meals or recipes.
