Frequently Asked questions

You don’t need to! The Breathe app talks directly to Fitbit’s servers in order to retrieve activity, sleep and resting heart rate data. You just need to make sure that you synchronise (sync) your fitness tracker with the Fitbit app regularly, so that Breathe can collect accurate and up-to-date metrics from the Fitbit server.
