How to Sync ShredSheet with Apple Health (Complete Guide)

Your iPhone already tracks a surprising amount of health data. ShredSheet connects with Apple Health to bring all of that data together with your nutrition tracking – giving you a complete picture of your health.

What Data Can ShredSheet Sync?

ShredSheet integrates with Apple Health in both directions:

Reading from Apple Health

Step count – see your daily steps alongside your calorie intake
Workouts – imported workouts from any app (Apple Fitness, Strava, etc.)
Sleep analysis – duration and quality from Apple Watch or sleep tracking apps
Body measurements – weight from smart scales syncs automatically

Writing to Apple Health

Nutrition data – your logged calories, protein, carbs, and fat appear in Apple Health
Water intake – if you track hydration in ShredSheet

This means apps like Apple Fitness, your doctor’s health portal, or any other Apple Health-connected app can see your nutrition data without manual entry.

How to Set It Up

Step 1: Open ShredSheet Settings

Tap the gear icon in the top right corner of the home screen.

Step 2: Enable Apple Health

Find the “Apple Health” section and tap “Connect.” iOS will show you a permissions screen.

Step 3: Choose Your Permissions

You’ll see a list of data types. We recommend enabling all of them for the best experience, but you can be selective:

Steps – enables the step counter widget on your dashboard
Workouts – shows your exercise alongside nutrition data
Sleep – displays sleep duration on your daily view
Body Mass – syncs weight data both ways
Nutrition – writes your food log data to Apple Health

Step 4: Done

ShredSheet will immediately start syncing. Historical data from today will appear within a few seconds.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Integration

Use a Smart Scale

If you have a Withings, Eufy, or any Apple Health-compatible smart scale, your weigh-ins will automatically appear in ShredSheet’s weight tracker. No manual entry needed.

Check Your Daily Summary

ShredSheet’s daily view combines your nutrition, steps, workouts, and sleep into one screen. This is where the Apple Health integration really shines – you can see correlations between sleep quality and food choices, or how active days affect your hunger.

Let ShredSheet Adjust Your Goals

When ShredSheet knows your activity level from Apple Health, it can suggest more accurate calorie targets. More active days might mean more food – and ShredSheet can help you make that call.

Privacy & Security

Your health data stays between ShredSheet and Apple Health. We never upload Apple Health data to our servers. The sync happens entirely on your device.

Apple Health itself uses hardware-level encryption, and ShredSheet respects all iOS privacy guidelines. You can revoke access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → ShredSheet.

Troubleshooting

Data not syncing?

Check that permissions are enabled in iOS Settings → Privacy → Health → ShredSheet
Make sure Background App Refresh is on for ShredSheet
Force-close and reopen the app

Steps showing as zero?

Your iPhone tracks steps by default, but Apple Watch data takes priority if you have one
Check that “Steps” is enabled in the Apple Health permissions for ShredSheet

Weight not updating?
