Walks and Apple Health

Last updated About 3 hours ago

A timed walk. Tap Walks → "Start walk". The timer shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. To finish, tap "Stop & save".

  • "Start walk" only appears if Live Activities are allowed for Puffy — turn them on under Puffy in iOS Settings.
  • Walks from 5 minutes to 3 hours are saved.
  • If you forget to stop the timer, Puffy stops it after 4 hours and saves the walk.

Log a walk without a timer with "Add walk now" — it's logged at the current time.

Apple Health. The first time you tap Walks, Puffy offers to connect Apple Health.

  • What we read: Walking and Running workouts of 1 minute or more, including from Apple Watch — they become your dog's walks.
  • What we write: only walks started with "Start walk", saved as a Walking workout. Walks you add by hand aren't sent to Apple Health.

If you don't allow access, everything else in Puffy works as usual. To change access, open the Health app, tap your profile picture → Apps → Puffy.
