Apple Health integration: Event-Based Goals (e.g., 3x/Week) instead of just Duration

Feature Request

Currently, Apple Health workout integrations seem limited to time-based duration goals. For many of us, the goal isn't how long we lift or run, but how many times we show up.

The Proposal: Allow users to set "Event-Based" goals for synced Apple Health workouts. For example, instead of a goal of "30 minutes of Strength Training," I want to set a goal for "3 Strength Workouts per week." This would better support athletes and hobbyists who track consistency over minutes.

    Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful proposa!

    To give you some insight into how the app currently works: our sync logic is designed to pull data using the exact same measurement units recorded in Apple Health (such as minutes for duration or kcal for energy). This ensures that the data stays consistent and reliable between both platforms.

    In the meantime, there is a way to achieve a "consistency-based" goal with our current setup:

    • Set a Minimum Value: Try setting your habit goal to a very low duration, such as 1 minute.

    • The Result: Since any workout logged in Apple Health will almost certainly exceed 1 minute, the habit will automatically mark itself as "completed" the moment you save your workout. This effectively turns it into an "event-based" tracker where "showing up" is all that matters.

    That being said, we have officially noted your suggestion for our product team. We are always looking for ways to improve our integrations, and if future technical updates allow us to support "event-count" syncing alongside duration, we will certainly explore it.
