Allow to sync with Calm app

I already use Calm app for meditation and would like to sync that app with Fitbit or have Fitbit allow us to manually track when we meditate.
This is needed because:
I use the Calm multiple times throughout the day. I would like those sessions to be recorded in the Mindfulness section of the Fitbit app on Android. I want to see all my mindfulness activity in the Fitbit app. The Fitbit mindfulness practices are far too limited. I will always be using Calm for my mindfulness meditations.
I'd use this: Daily

Thanks for sharing this suggestion. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly.

 

You can also check these other suggestions: Ability to log Meditation and Meditation Tracker within the Fitbit app.

 

Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

Calm is a huge app with many meditations. While wonderful that Fitbit has meditations as well, they are limited. It would be great if the Calm app could be integrated with Mindfulness, complete with tracking your heart rate.

Hi @mortonboots, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to sync with Calm app. This feature suggestion already exists, so I've moved it into a similar request. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly.

 

I hope to see you around.

Please log Mindfulness sessions from the Calm app. I would have up-voted the existing feature request for this but it is locked.
