Google Health CLI is now available: Fitbit dashboards and automations
Google released Google Health CLI today, a new command-line tool that gives you direct access to Google Health and Fitbit data for custom dashboards, workflows, and automations.
According to Google, Google Health CLI can pull in more than 40 wellness metrics, including activity, sleep, and heart rate. That opens the door to self-tracking tools, research projects, or routines built around exercise and sleep goals. For developers, it also creates a straighter path into Google’s health system at a moment when wearables keep getting bigger: the market is projected to grow from $92.9 billion in 2025 to more than $103 billion in 2026, with 614 million shipments.
If you want more say over the data coming off your wrist, Google Health CLI looks like something to try. Still, the trade-offs are real. Health features drive 70% of buying decisions. Google is also putting weight behind Fitbit coaching and a $10 million clinician-training effort. Then there are the usual concerns around privacy, safety, and platform limits, plus Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) costs for apps with more than 100 users. Add in the rising use of chatbot health advice in 2026 surveys, along with expert warnings that automated health answers can be inaccurate or even harmful.
