Integrate Fitbit with Headspace

[SunsetRunner]

Would be great to get Headspace to sync with the Fitbit app. The native Fitbit guided breathing is good, but very basic, and most people that try to practice mindfulness don’t want to look at a screen to do it. Making the app available on the ionic and versa would be awesome too!

Hello @SunsetRunner!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us! 

Let's keep an eye on what other users say about this.

[Mirsarie]

I couldn't agree more! I'm an avid user of Headspace and think it would be a great addition to the Versa especially.

[Activen]

A Mindfulness and Meditation app would be a great enhancement.

[BlazeFS]

I use the Calm app and would love if it tracked in the Fitbit App.

[Activen]

That's a good one.  

I also use the muse headband and linking that with fitbit would be excellent.

[kimboleee]

Agreed! Would love to track how my habits are with meditating

[asprandel]

I've been considering taking up meditation, and I would be more inclined to do so if it were integrated into the Fitbit app instead of me having to go and download yet another app. Some kind of guided meditation/meditation tracker would be awesome!

[SunsetRunner]

What I would really, really love, is a mindfulness tile in the phone app. I tried Calm, headspace and other apps but I tend to fall out of it pretty quickly. If fitbit app had a mindfulness tile, I think I'd ditch all the other apps for good.  It would be great to be able to select a goal number of minutes. If the tile would tie in with other apps, fine, but I would love being able to use it independently. I mostly listen to podcasts or meditate without support so that would be very handy!

I completely agree. I would use this every day.

[WillieJiang]

I completely agree! I use Calm App to help my meditation. It's a shame that Fitbit can't sync with Calm. 

Please, please make it happen!

I'm actually really mad about this and ready to find out how/if I can send my Versa back after only a day.

I had the Bellabeat Leaf, but it wasn't recognized by my corporate wellness program, so I looked into getting a Fitbit (which is). I only went with the Versa because it said it had meditation, which it does NOT. It just has breaking while looking at a screen, which is not what anyone who mediates is looking for. I loved the Leaf because it had a wide variety of guided meditations for different mindsets built right into their app, and I was hoping the Versa would have the same. 

If I had known this wasn't actually meditation at all, I would have gotten a smaller/cheaper Alta or Charge (or some other recognized product entirely).

[WillieJiang]

Hm...that's true.

Maybe, I should send back my FitBit and get a refund as well.

[Miłosz]

I am requesting any application synchronized with the Fitbit wristband.

Best regards,

M.

It would be awesome if there could be access to do meditation or mindfulness exercises. Is that something that Fitbit could incorporate? I’m tired of having to download multiple apps for wellness. 

[starshield4594]

I LOVE the idea of having an app for anxiety/depression. Thats what Fitbit wanted anyway it thier "Relax" feature anyway right? I like "Headspace" but partnering with "Pacifica" might fit better with Fitbit's (Versa/Ionic) OS platforms. 

Please consider adding this feature!!! 

[katylee]

Would love this! Headspace is amazing and it would really be a benefit. 

[bpaigehansen]

I still use my Bellabeat Leaf and their app for meditation, or sometimes I use the (FREE!) Insight Timer app. 

[SunsetRunner]

I use headspace and it only makes sense for this wellness app to be able to integrate. Please, Fitbit!

[Runner__]

I would also like to see integration of an app like headspace!

[SunsetRunner]

Yes please  add calm to the apps for integration... 

[SunsetRunner]

I would also love to have Headspace on my Ionic!

[Roggin]

Yes!! Please could we get Headspace as a compatible app. I have found that using the mindfulness and mediation has actually really helped with my fitness and activity levels so it would be great to incorporate this. I know of a few friends and family who use Headspace and have smart watches/fitness trackers and they have commented that it would be a real benefit.  

[maryjaynek]

Yes!!  Please, please add meditation tracking  - this is such an important component of health and wellness.  I use Calm and wouldn’t love to see integration with it but even just adding a way to track meditation would be great!!  Thanks for allowing us to comment 🙂

[maryjaynek]

And oops - that should have been WOULD love to integrate with calm and not wouldn’t.  Couldn’t figure out how to edit the post 

[nahushf]

Yeah headspace would make a great addition to the versa and the ionic
