A developer has released Hamilton, an Android app that pulls health metrics from Google's Health Connect into a single dashboard without requesting any network permissions. The app supports data from Garmin, Withings, Fitbit, Samsung Health, Oura, Whoop, Google Fit and Strava, covering metrics like steps, sleep, heart rate and body composition. It avoids double-counting overlapping data (e.g., steps from both phone and watch) by selecting a single best source per metric per day.
