OpenVitals is a private Android dashboard for Health Connect. It helps you review activity, sleep, heart, body, hydration, nutrition, mindfulness, vitals, and optional cycle data in one local app. Your health data stays on your device. OpenVitals has no account, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no app-level internet permission. The dashboard reads from Health Connect only after you grant permissions. Manual entries are written back to Health Connect only when you explicitly save them. What you can do * View a daily Health Connect dashboard with grouped health and fitness cards * Explore period-based detail screens with Day, Week, Month, and Year views * Review Daily Readiness with Body Energy, Training Readiness, HRV status, intensity minutes, physiological stress, adaptive goals, and local explanations * Review steps, distance, calories, floors, elevation, and workout sessions * Review sleep sessions, duration, and sleep stages * Review heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, blood pressure, SpO2, respiratory rate, body temperature, VO2 max, body metrics, beverages, hydration, caffeine, nutrition, and mindfulness data when available * Review Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) when weight, height, and body fat data are available * Add and edit OpenVitals-created beverage, body measurement, vitals, mindfulness, and activity entries directly in Health Connect * Log beverages from presets or custom drinks with hydration, caffeine, and selected nutrition defaults * Track achievement badges for activity, distance, floors, workouts, hydration, sleep, and mindfulness milestones * Import GPX, KML, KMZ, and FIT activity routes, preview them, and save route-backed workouts * Import supported Apple Health export records into Health Connect * Record GPS activities with pause, resume, finish, discard, route preview, distance, elevation, moving time, configurable recording dashboard, Focus mode, keep-screen-on support, and a persistent recording notification * Connect experimental Bluetooth LE heart-rate, cadence, power, and footpod sensors during activity recording, including heart-rate monitoring for supported strength and repetition training * Estimate active and total calories for imported and recorded activities before saving * Enable opt-in hydration reminders with active hours and daily-goal pause logic * Choose calendar periods or rolling 7, 30, and 365-day date windows * Choose metric or imperial units * Grant sensitive cycle permissions only when you want that data shown Why OpenVitals * Private by design: no account, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics * Dashboard focused: the home screen is read-only unless you choose to add an entry * Health Connect as source of truth: OpenVitals does not keep a separate health record database * Permission-aware: use one-tap setup or grant clear data categories individually, then change permissions later * Open source: code, release notes, and builds are available for review Requirements OpenVitals requires Health Connect. On Android 14 and newer, Health Connect is part of Android. On Android 13 and older, install the Health Connect app separately.

Aug 1, 2026 2.4.1

Released 2026-08-01. A paired Garmin watch learns two new tricks - your phone's notifications on the wrist, and step counts that finally match it - while readiness moves in with Body Energy and the dashboard puts the tiles you actually use first. - **Phone notifications on a Garmin watch.** Turn on **Send notifications to the watch** on the watch's screen and your notifications appear on the wrist, where they can be dismissed, answered or acted on. No Garmin account, no Garmin Connect, no network - the watch is spoken to over its own Bluetooth protocol, and the app still ships no INTERNET permission. Off by default; an **Apps to silence** list decides what gets through. Experimental, verified against a vívoactive 5. - **Daily Readiness lives inside Body Energy now.** The two screens described the same day from adjacent angles, so they are one view: the battery first, then the readiness verdict, what moved it, and what it means for today. The verdict finally weighs the *measured* battery - no combination of good sleep and calm vitals can outvote arriving at the day drained. The old standalone screen and its app-bar icon are gone; a readiness home-screen widget keeps working and opens the merged view. - **Drink from the notification.** The hydration reminder carries two quick-add buttons with the last two cup sizes you used ("Add 350 ml" / "Add 250 ml"). One tap logs the drink in the background - the app never opens - and the reminder is dismissed. Android only; iOS keeps the plain tap-to-open reminder. - **The dashboard sinks tiles with no data below the ones with some.** What you actually track is in reach without manual reordering; your saved order still rules within each group, and edit mode shows the true order so drags land where they look. Straight from user feedback, implemented verbatim. - **Import reports can be shared.** The CSV importer's result, the Apple Health import card and the device-sync report can now send the report to another app - a message, an email attachment - through the system share sheet, as an attached .txt.

More…

- **Steps from a Garmin watch now match the wrist.** The monitoring counters are differenced per activity type against a per-day watermark, the day's last quarter-hour is no longer silently dropped, and an untyped whole-day restatement can no longer mint steps that were never taken. The failure modes this closes were spectacular: 6,323 steps arriving as 19,906, days re-counted once per sync, every day short by its final minutes. The algorithm now follows Gadgetbridge's, translated to Health Connect. - **Elevation gain is no longer inflated by GPS noise.** A real 750 m climb saved as ~15 km: every metre of GPS jitter was banked as climb, thousands of times an hour. Altitudes are now smoothed and thresholded the way the barometer path always was, the live recording dashboard shows the same figure that gets saved, and climbs below the noise floor honestly report zero. - **One bad sleep record no longer stretches the schedule chart to 36 hours.** A physically impossible night (16 h or more) no longer sets the week/month chart's scale; it is still drawn, clipped, so the anomaly stays visible. - **The top-bar battery icon means something again.** It shows only for devices the Sensors & devices screen actually lists - pairing a smartwatch no longer puts up an icon that opens an empty screen. - **Saving an import report on Android lands somewhere you can reach.** Save went through a picker Android does not implement and fell back to an app-private folder ("Report saved," for a file no file manager shows); the device-sync report's save button crashed outright. All report saves now use the same working dialog the route export always had. - **The Apple Health import card no longer crashes the app when Settings closes mid-load.** German, Italian and Estonian translations are complete (machine-assisted, awaiting native-speaker review - corrections welcome on Codeberg Translate), and Spanish keeps flowing in from Weblate. The Codeberg and Play builds keep the same package name and signing certificate, so this installs as a normal update.
