Connect Polar Flow

Choose Polar Flow during wearable setup after registration, or open Account → Integrations → Polar Flow. Sign in on Polar’s authorisation screen and approve the requested access. The connection is being introduced in the beta; availability depends on your app version and service availability.

If Polar is your only selected device during onboarding, it becomes the preferred source for workouts, health, sleep and recovery. You can change each source separately in Account.

What can be imported

Available data includes workout type, timing, duration, distance, calories and heart-rate measurements; daily steps, active calories and distance; recorded sleep; and Nightly Recharge HRV, early-sleep heart rate and breathing rate. Coverage depends on your device, settings, permissions and what has synced to Polar Flow.

Averages do not become an invented heart-rate curve. Polar’s categorical Nightly Recharge status is not converted into a percentage recovery score. NutriBuddyAI calculates its own insights from the available measurements.

History and synchronisation

Polar provides exercises uploaded to Flow after you connect to NutriBuddyAI, within the last 30 days. Earlier workout history is not backfilled. Sleep and Nightly Recharge can cover the last 28 days when available.

The first import runs in the background. Automatic checks run about once an hour; use Sync Polar in Account → Integrations for a manual check. Sync your watch to Polar Flow first. The same workout reported by compatible sources is reconciled rather than counted twice.

Permissions and disconnecting

Polar access is authorised through your own account. Check the date, permissions and last sync if a measurement is missing. Disconnecting stops new imports; previously imported diary data remains until you delete your account or request deletion.
