About this app

OpenVitals is a private Android dashboard for Health Connect. It helps you review activity, sleep, heart, body, hydration, nutrition, mindfulness, vitals, and optional cycle data in one local app.

Your health data stays on your device. OpenVitals has no account, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no app-level internet permission. The dashboard reads from Health Connect only after you grant permissions. Manual entries are written back to Health Connect only when you explicitly save them.

What you can do

Why OpenVitals

* Private by design: no account, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics
* Dashboard focused: the home screen is read-only unless you choose to add an entry
* Health Connect as source of truth: OpenVitals does not keep a separate health record database
* Permission-aware: use one-tap setup or grant clear data categories individually, then change permissions later
* Open source: code, release notes, and builds are available for review

Requirements

OpenVitals requires Health Connect. On Android 14 and newer, Health Connect is part of Android. On Android 13 and older, install the Health Connect app separately.

Ratings and reviews

very good app, looks nice and no ads please add feature of background sync, when I open it starts syncing I would love it if it did in background so it was synced by time I open

It's like the Fitbit app from back when the Fitbit app was good. Fantastic work!

Great app! I use it to import FIT and TCX workouts to Google Health

What’s new

Workout plans: build a routine of exercises, rests and rounds and start it as a guided run - reps counted by the phone (push-ups and squats on the proximity sensor), timed steps and rests counting down on a ring, spoken cues. Plans live in Health Connect, so ones from other apps start too. Export any workout without its route as TCX, FIT or CSV. Every language is complete. A nap from a Garmin watch counts as sleep, and a night Mi Fitness stores twice no longer doubles its duration.
