Which one suits you

The app is the same. Pick what you want on your wrist.

Your own wearable

You already wear an Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit or Samsung watch overnight and you like it.

Nothing extra to buy or charge
R89 a month, that is the whole cost
Sleep, heart rate and workouts come across from your watch

A Penng band

You have nothing on your wrist at night, your watch comes off to charge, or you want to stop wearing a screen.

Reads through the night, so recovery is measured rather than guessed
Live heart rate in the app and workouts you start from the app
Nothing to look at, nothing to dismiss

Just the app

You mainly want to get your food under control, and sleep tracking is not the reason you are here.

Food logging, plans, habits and the coach need no wearable
Add a band later if you want sleep and recovery too
Start with food only

Every answer, without the picker

The chooser above needs JavaScript. The same answers are listed here.

Apple Watch · via Apple Health

Apple Watch records heart rate, HRV, sleep and workouts. Penng reads all four.

What to do: In Setup, allow Penng to read Health. That is the whole step.

Series 6 and later also report blood oxygen. Live in-app heart rate and app-started workouts stay band-only.
Garmin (iPhone) · via Apple Health

Garmin records your sleep, heart rate and workouts. Penng reads them once Garmin is sharing.

What to do: Open Garmin Connect, turn on its Apple Health sharing, then allow Penng to read Health.

Garmin chooses which metrics it writes to Apple Health. Check Garmin Connect settings if something is missing.
Garmin (Android) · via Health Connect by Google

Garmin records your sleep, heart rate and workouts. Penng reads them once Garmin is sharing.

What to do: Open Garmin Connect, turn on its Health Connect sharing, then allow Penng to read it.

Blood oxygen availability through Health Connect varies by device.
Oura Ring (iPhone) · via Apple Health

Oura records your sleep, heart rate and HRV. Penng reads all three.

What to do: In the Oura app turn on Apple Health sharing, then allow Penng to read Health.

Oura does not record workouts the way a watch does, so training data will be thinner.
Fitbit (Android) · via Health Connect by Google

Fitbit records your sleep, heart rate and steps. Penng reads them once Fitbit is sharing.

What to do: In the Fitbit app turn on Health Connect sharing, then allow Penng to read it.

Fitbit's Health Connect support depends on your app version and device.
Samsung Galaxy Watch · via Health Connect by Google

Galaxy Watch records your sleep, heart rate and workouts. Penng reads them.

What to do: Allow Samsung Health to share with Health Connect, then allow Penng to read it.
Just my iPhone, no watch · via Apple Health

Your phone counts steps and records some workouts, and food logging works from day one. Sleep and recovery need a wrist sensor.

What to do: Allow Penng to read Health, then log your first meal. Add a band later if you want recovery and sleep.

Without a wrist sensor there is no overnight heart rate, so recovery and sleep scores cannot be produced. A band fixes that.
Just my Android phone, no watch · via Health Connect by Google

Your phone counts steps and records some workouts, and food logging works from day one. Sleep and recovery need a wrist sensor.

What to do: Allow Penng to read Health Connect, then log your first meal. Add a band later if you want recovery and sleep.

Without a wrist sensor there is no overnight heart rate, so recovery and sleep scores cannot be produced. A band fixes that.
No wearable at all · via Penng band

Food logging, plans and habits work with no wearable at all. Sleep and recovery need something on your wrist.

What to do: Start with the app today. Add a Penng band when you want sleep and recovery too.

Penng reads what your device's own app shares with your phone. We have not tested every model one by one, so check your first morning's numbers.

Check before you pay

Will Penng work with what I already wear?

Penng does not talk to each brand directly. On iPhone it reads Apple Health, on Android it reads Health Connect by Google. Whether yours works depends on what it writes there, and its maker decides that, not Penng.
