beta

Ascend reads Garmin data through Apple Health (iOS) and Health Connect (Android) today. Direct Garmin Connect OAuth is on the Q3 roadmap.

Reads

  • Steps (via HC/AH)
  • Workouts (via HC/AH)
  • Heart rate (via HC/AH)
  • Resting heart rate (via HC/AH)
  • VO₂ max (planned, direct)

Writes

  • (Planned) Lifts back to Garmin Connect

Setup

  1. Make sure Garmin Connect is paired to Apple Health (iOS Settings → Health → Sources) or Health Connect (Android Garmin Connect → Settings → Health Connect)
  2. Open Ascend → Settings → Integrations → Apple Health / Health Connect → connect
  3. Garmin data now flows into Ascend

FAQ

Why not direct?

Direct Garmin Connect API requires partnership approval. Application open — meanwhile, the platform layer covers 90% of use cases.

Will Forerunner / Fenix work?

Any Garmin that syncs to Garmin Connect → which syncs to HC or AH. So yes, all current models.

Do I need a paid Garmin subscription?

No. The data sync is free on Garmin's side.
