Health Connector for Obsidian

Turn your daily notes into a reliable health dashboard.

Health Connector imports your data from Garmin, Strava, and Google Health, then automatically writes it into the frontmatter of your Obsidian notes. You keep a clean, queryable history that works with Dataview, Templates, and your personal workflows.

Why this plugin

• Centralize your activity data in one place: your vault
• Standardize frontmatter fields for consistent long-term tracking
• Remove repetitive manual health data entry

What you get

• Multi-provider sync: Garmin, Strava, Google Health
• Unified frontmatter structure for daily notes
• Quick sync commands (today or a target date)
• Localized interface: French, English, Spanish

Example workflow

Open your daily note, run a sync command, and your latest data appears in frontmatter. You can then build weekly or monthly trends with Dataview without manual cleanup.

Example fields (depending on provider):

steps: 10234
distance_km: 7.4
calories: 2180
resting_hr: 54
sleep_hours: 7.2
