Yes. Owaves: My BodyClock connects to Apple Health on iPhone. Turn on the Apple Health toggle in Owaves settings, choose what Owaves may read on Apple’s permission screen and tap Allow. Owaves can then compare the day you planned with your actual sleep and exercise.
Key takeaways
- The Owaves App Store listing says connecting Apple Health lets you compare planned versus actual activities, as part of the free app.
- Connecting takes 5 steps in Owaves, per the 2018 Owaves FAQ [2]: profile icon, Settings, the Apple Health toggle, pick data types, tap Allow.
- The FAQ says Owaves then shows actual results for time spent on exercise and sleep.
- BodyClock Plus uses Apple Health data too: its Windows for Deep Sleep, Deep Work, Peak Fitness and Eating draw on your chronotype, tracked activities and HealthKit data.
- Apple says you can change what each app reads at any time, and the Owaves privacy policy says you can revoke Apple Health access.
Does Owaves sync with Apple Health?
Yes. Owaves reads data from Apple Health, the health app built into iPhone, so it can compare what you actually did with what you planned on My BodyClock. Owaves announced the connection in December 2015 (Owaves & Apple Health), and the App Store listing for version 8.1.1 (September 2026) still names it among the free features.
Apple Health is the hub: your iPhone, an Apple Watch and other apps send data to it, and Owaves reads from it. The Owaves FAQ [4] suggests connecting any compatible workout app or wearable to Apple Health to track exercise, or adding exercise times to Apple Health by hand; its sleep FAQ [5] says the same for sleep apps and devices.
How do I connect Owaves to Apple Health?
Turn on the Apple Health toggle inside Owaves, then approve the data you want to share on Apple’s permission screen. These steps follow the Owaves FAQ on Apple Health [2], last updated in May 2018, so version 8.1.1 may differ; if it does, look for the Apple Health toggle in Settings, or use Apple’s controls below.
- Open Owaves on your iPhone and tap the profile icon at the top left to open the navigation menu.
- Tap Settings.
- Find the Apple Health toggle under General and turn it on, so it shows green.
- Choose what to share. Apple’s Health Access screen appears; in the 2018 FAQ it offered Mindful Minutes, Sleep, Steps and Workouts. Turn on the ones you want Owaves to read.
- Tap Allow at the top right.
What you will see: per the FAQ, Owaves can now show your actual results for time spent on exercise and sleep. For those results to appear, the data has to reach Apple Health first, from your iPhone, an Apple Watch, another app or a manual entry.
How do I check or change what Owaves can read?
Use the Health app or iPhone Settings; both are Apple’s own controls. Apple’s support article Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch gives this path:
- Open the Health app and tap the profile button in the upper corner.
- Under Privacy, tap Apps to see the apps that work with Health.
- Tap Owaves and turn health categories on or off.
Apple’s Health App & Privacy page adds that apps must ask before they read or write Health data, that you can change what you share at any time, and that permissions granted to third-party apps can also be managed in the Settings app under Settings > Health.
What does planned vs actual mean in Owaves?
It means the day you drew on My BodyClock next to the record of what happened. The plan is your intention, say Sleep from 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM; Apple Health holds what your devices and apps logged. Compared, the two show whether bedtime drifted or the workout moved.
The Owaves FAQ answers “How do you track actual results?” in three words: with Apple Health [3]. The Apple Health FAQ [2] names exercise and sleep as the areas with actual results. Owaves’ pages don’t describe Apple Health results for other categories, such as Relax, Work or Eat, or say exactly where in the app the comparison appears, so we don’t claim either here.
How does BodyClock Plus use Apple Health data?
BodyClock Plus, the subscription, adds BodyClock AI recommendations called Windows: Deep Sleep, Deep Work, Peak Fitness and Eating Windows. In its BodyClock AI announcement (October 2025), Owaves says these windows (there called Dynamic Windows) are powered by your chronotype, your tracked activities and Apple HealthKit data, and adjust as your habits change. Owaves release notes on the App Store add that the recommendations update daily based on your tracked sleep, activity, nutrition and other Apple Health information.
Connecting Apple Health is free; the Windows come with BodyClock Plus, which has a free trial, per the listing.
Is my health data private?
Apple and Owaves each describe controls you hold. Apple says each third-party app must explain why it wants Health data and have a privacy policy, and that Health data is encrypted when your iPhone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID or Face ID (Apple).
The Owaves privacy policy [7] says you may choose to grant Owaves access to exercise or activity data from Apple Health, that you can revoke that access under application settings, and that for users covered by the GDPR, Owaves asks for explicit consent when you connect Apple Health. On its App Store privacy label, Owaves reports that usage data and diagnostics may be collected but are not linked to your identity, a self-report Apple does not verify.
Your day on My BodyClock
The day above on My BodyClock is built to be measured. Sleep runs from 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM, a morning walk and an evening workout sit in orange Move blocks, and pink Flow holds getting ready, the commute and errands. Those Sleep and Move blocks are what Apple Health can check against.
Plan it, connect Apple Health, and look back after a week: did bedtime hold, or did the workout slide from 5 PM to 8 PM? For the reasoning behind the blocks, read How to Fix Your Sleep Schedule and Best Time to Exercise?; shift workers can start from Night Shift Schedule.
