Able to manually log mindfulness sessions in Mindfulness tile

[Takesi]

To be able to manually log mindfullness sessions, just like you can manually log a walk, or other exercises. I like the ‘time’ and ‘reflection’ aspects of it and how it appears in the ‘my journey’ section. If I was able to manually log it, I could listen to other apps, or no apps at all, but still log it in the mindfullness section.

Yes please, add this feature! It’s been several years since this was requested. Any update on when this will be available?

Same copy/paste response and no action.  Feels pretty clear we are never getting this simple feature from Fitbit.

Being able to manually log meditation would be a good addition instead of being forced to use the, what, maybe ONE, meditation offered that isn’t premium. Beyond that, as many people here have already stated, not everyone uses apps or any kind of guided meditation. I don’t see the point of even including the option of mindfulness moments if we’re forced to just use the one offered on the app. It would be great to see this changed, but considering it appears these requests go back at least 3 years & nothing has been done, I’m not expecting much.

[Shawzallgirl]

I specifically set up my community account to upvote this specific request. I would like to add my daily journalling or other activities to my app without having to listen to the meditations. 

[Konkubino]

It's 2024 and I still have to look at "0 of 5 Mindful Days" even tho I meditate daily on my own terms and outside the app. Pretty disappointed that you can add exercises manually but can't add mindfulness manually so I one up this one.

[laur3ntini]

Ludicrous that this functionality is still not avaliable 

[eidolonis]

Yes please!  I often meditate using the Calm app or with no guidance at all. It would be great to be able to add these to Fitbit. Neither manually after the meditation has ended, or possibly with an “start / stop” manual entry method.

[MK2005]

I would love that too!! Or a timer in that section so you could count your mindful minutes! 

[lisiko]

I see that the Oura Ring syncs with headspace. Am wondering if my next device would still be a Fitbit if there aren’t more way to capture meditation…

[Lou7000]

I've switched to Garmin now. Problem solved.

[itsjustpie]

Same! Garmin lets me record all my vitals during either a pre-set meditation time (5, 10, 15, 30, etc.) or manually stop and start when I’m meditating. It then logs each session as an individual activity in the app. Fitbit deleted my last post about deciding to switch to Garmin, though 😂 So they are still monitoring this thread; they just don’t care enough to add the feature for the users. 

[Natasha81]

Good to know they’re monitoring this thread just enough to delete comments. I’ve stopped using my Fitbit. Had they implemented a manual log for meditation, I might have had reason to continue a bit longer, but with all the other problems and nothing holding me (e.g. manual log for mindfulness), I’ve removed my device from my wrist and canceled my membership. 

[Natasha81]

Btw, my husband uses Garmin too and he really likes it. We’ve compared features and accuracy, and that’s definitely the brand I’m going for next. 

[leilarquinn]

Yes, please allow manual logging of meditation. Partnering with Insight Timer preferred. Please not Calm though!

[marypierce0523]

Yes please! Bring able to manually log mindfulness would be great.

Thanks!

[YammyHammy]

I would also like to be able to log my own mindfulness and meditation sessions.  

[CalmlyChilled]

This would be a useful feature as the app I use (Calm) no longer syncs even though it used to sync perfectly with Google Fit

[marypierce0523]

Come on Fitbit! Give your people what they want!! 😃

[BeFull]

These requests of from 2020 and 2021. Why has this not been changed yet? At least 600 people want to track mindfulness manually. I meditate daily using other apps or no apps at all and I want to track this as mindfulness and not just a meditation exercise. It seems simple to add, since you already do it for exercise. After four years, it's about time you give the people what they want.

[SpringJasmine]

I would like to be able to log mindfulness data because I prefer other meditation programs over yours.

[skidoo23]

Bonkers that this hasn't been a feature from the jump. It's like they're trying to coerce us to meditate to their content, exclusively. Ridiculous.

[marypierce0523]

Agreed! Ridiculous!

[Stephy8513]

I also agree we need this feature. We have it for everything else on our device but not for meditation? O sometimes meditate for 20 mins without an apps guide, and im not always in the mood to have a guided meditation. PLEASEEE ADD THE OPTION TO MANUALLY LOG MEDITATIONS TIA
