The different colors in the circles on the app home page represent different streak goals:

  • Yellow indicates logging a meal

  • Lime green indicates walking 5,000 steps

Each color helps quickly show progress across different daily streaks.

At the moment, Amino only tracks steps through the device’s health app. Other activities such as weight lifting, workouts, or swimming are not currently supported.

Amino does not connect directly to Fitbit. However, Fitbit can sync steps to the device’s health platform, which Amino can read from.

  • On iPhone: Sync Fitbit with Apple Health

  • On Android: Sync Fitbit with Health Connect / Google health services

Once Fitbit is successfully syncing steps to Apple Health or Health Connect, Amino will be able to read those steps automatically. Make sure all permissions are enabled, then close and reopen the Amino app.
