How Import Works

Sector is a group fitness game where every run and walk you record contributes kilometers to your group's totals and claims geographic 'sectors' for your group's color. To make joining easy, Sector imports your existing workouts from the OS health hub.

Sector imports outdoor workouts with GPS routes from Apple Health (iOS) and Health Connect (Android). For a workout to show up in Sector — route and all — the app that recorded it has to share the GPS route with the OS health hub. Some watch + app combinations do this out of the box.

Sector reads only running, walking, and hiking sessions from the last 30 days — specifically the activity type, start and end time, total distance, and GPS route. No other health data is accessed, and nothing is shared with third parties.

Sector app – Select Workouts screen showing a Fitbit walk ready to import into the 'Cheaters on Scooters' group. — Pick which workouts to import and which group they go into. Nothing is imported until you tap.

Sector app – Activity feed showing an imported Fitbit run with its GPS route and three claimed sectors. — Your imported workout becomes a route on the map with the sectors your group just claimed.

Coming later

Some popular trackers — including Strava and Garmin Connect — keep GPS routes inside their own app and don't share them with Apple Health or Health Connect. A direct integration with those services is on our roadmap. Until then, Sector can't import their routes through the OS health hub.
