Connect your Apple Watch to KeepCourse

Updated 7 October 2026

The short answer: KeepCourse reads workouts and sleep from your phone's health app, where the Watch and Health apps already sends them. Turn on sharing in the Watch and Health apps, connect KeepCourse to Health Connect (Android) or install the KeepCourse Shortcut (iPhone), and your Apple Watch is connected.

Models: all models. Menu names can differ between app versions; the setting you're looking for is "Health Connect" on Android or "Apple Health" on iPhone.

On iPhone

1. Your Apple Watch already writes workouts and sleep to Apple Health.
2. Install the KeepCourse Shortcut from keepcourse.app/connect/iphone, paste your connection token from KeepCourse's Settings, and turn on its two automations (after a workout, and each morning for sleep).
3. Allow the Shortcut to read Workouts and Sleep in Health. The next workout arrives in KeepCourse within a minute.

What you'll get

• Every workout ticks off an open Move commit for that day by itself, and opens the "How was it?" dialog prefilled with the sport and minutes.
• Last night's bed time, wake time and duration are prefilled in your morning standup; you only rate sleep quality.
• Sessions appear under Training on Today and in Week.

Troubleshooting

• No workouts yet? Check that the Apple Watch has synced to the Watch and Health apps, and that sharing is switched on in the Watch and Health apps. On Android, open Health Connect and confirm the Watch and Health apps is listed under "App permissions".
• Workouts arrive late? Android battery optimisation can delay background sync. Allow KeepCourse and the Watch and Health apps to run in the background, or open KeepCourse to sync now.
• Duplicates? If two apps send the same activity (for example the Watch and Health apps and Strava), keep one source connected.
• Still stuck? Email keepcourse@predict.ventures with your phone model and the Watch and Health apps version.
