Apple Shortcuts lets your Watch send sleep, steps and heart rate directly to your LR profile — automatically, every morning.
Once connected, this data flows into your LR dashboard automatically.
| Data | Source | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep duration | iPhone Health app (Watch sync) | Every morning |
| Resting heart rate | Apple Watch | Daily |
| Steps | Apple Watch + iPhone | Daily |
| Active calories | Apple Watch | Daily |
| HRV (Heart Rate Variability) | Apple Watch | Daily |
Follow these steps on your iPhone to get your health data flowing into LR.
Open the App Store on your iPhone and download the Shortcuts app if you don't have it. It's free and made by Apple.
Tap the button below on your iPhone to open our pre-built shortcut. It's already configured — you just need to add it.
Add LR Health Shortcut to iPhone →The Shortcuts app will open and show you exactly what data the shortcut accesses. Review it, then tap "Add Shortcut" to install it.
Go to Shortcuts → Automation → Create Personal Automation → Time of Day → set to 7:00am → select "Run Immediately". Then choose the LR Health shortcut.
This means every morning at 7am, your last night's sleep and yesterday's activity will be sent automatically to your LR profile.
Open your LR member portal and go to your dashboard. Your health data will appear within a few minutes of the shortcut running.
Go to Your Portal →Full transparency — here's exactly what happens when the shortcut runs.
Everything you might want to know before setting up.
Yes — it only reads the health data you choose, and sends it encrypted to your private LR profile. Apple requires you to review exactly what data it accesses before you install it. No third parties, no data selling, no surprises.
No — your iPhone tracks sleep and steps on its own. An Apple Watch adds heart rate, HRV and active calories. Both configurations work with the shortcut. You'll simply see whichever data your device records.
No — it runs once a day for about 2 seconds. The impact on battery life is negligible. You won't notice any difference.
Yes — delete the automation in Shortcuts and no more data is sent. You can also delete the shortcut entirely from the Shortcuts app. Either way, the data flow stops immediately and completely.
Check that Apple Health permissions are enabled: go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Shortcuts and ensure the relevant data types are turned on. If it still doesn't work after the shortcut has run, contact us via the portal and we'll sort it.
