Migrating Fitbit to Google Health


Google is shutting down the web APIs that the Digital Carrot Fitbit plugin relies on as of September 30th, 2026.

The iOS Fitbit app did not originally support Apple Health when Digital Carrot launched back at the start of 2026. Because of this, I ended up writing a plugin that used the Fitbit web APIs in order to support health data for Fitbit users. Since then Google has begun the time honored tradition of killing off Fitbit and replacing it with Google Health. As a result, the Fitbit plugin is now broken and Fitbit users will need to re-recreate their goals using the default plugin.

How to Migrate your Fitbit Goals

Fitbit is no longer available on PC

Fitbit data can still be accessed through Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android, but is no longer available on PC. You can still access your health goals on PC with sync.

Download Google Health

The Google Health app is available on iPhone and Android. It has replaced the old Fitbit app and supports syncing health data with Apple Health and Android Health Connect.

Set up Google Health

Tap the icon in the upper left corner to connect new devices.

On iPhone

  1. Tap “Apps and services” under “Connections”
  2. Tap “Apple Health app” to connect to Apple Health.

Note

You don’t need to share all of your Apple Health data with Google. Granting Google Health permission to only write to Apple Health is sufficient for Digital Carrot.

On Android

  1. Tap “Partner Apps”

  1. Tap “Manage Health Connect” to share health data with other apps

Create a new Goal

Create a new health goal in Digital Carrot. If the app tells you to use the Fitbit Plugin when you select your fitness tracker, go back and pick “Other Fitness Trackers”. Older versions of the app will still prompt you to use the Fitbit plugin.
