Oura + Paceline Guide

What Oura Ring activity counts toward Paceline eHR Minutes?

For Oura Ring, Paceline eHR Minutes are derived from Oura's Activity Time. You can read more about Activity Time here: How Oura Measures Steps & Activity.

Linking your Oura Ring to Paceline

Follow these steps to connect your device:

1. Tap the Profile icon in the upper left corner and select Linked Fitness Devices
2. Tap Connect another device, select Oura, sign into your Oura account, and allow all activity syncing permissions

Did you get a new Oura Ring?

If your new Oura Ring is set up under the same Oura account you're already linked to Paceline, you don't need to do anything else.

Did you get a new Phone?

When you get a new phone, the Paceline app is typically transferred over automatically. In some cases, permissions may need to be reauthorized. If your Oura is syncing with your new phone but not with Paceline, follow these steps:

1. Delete and reinstall the Paceline app
2. Unlink and relink Oura:
   • Profile → Linked Fitness Devices → Oura → tap to Unlink → Re-link → Sign in → Allow All permissions

Why isn't my Oura Ring activity data syncing to Paceline?

If your Oura Ring activity isn't appearing in Paceline, worry not — it's usually a permissions or sync issue. The steps below will help refresh the connection between Paceline and your Oura Ring, so your effort is recognized and counted toward your progress.

Required Settings

Since Oura syncs directly to Paceline, there are two things to confirm:

1. Your Oura account is linked to Paceline and all requested permissions are enabled
   • Profile → Linked Fitness Devices → Oura → allow all permissions
2. Paceline can run in the background on your device
   • iPhone: Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Paceline → ON
   • Android: Settings → Apps → Paceline → Battery → Allow background activity Why: This ensures Paceline can update and import your activity data smoothly, even when the app isn't open.

Tips to improve reliability

• Keep the Oura app installed and up to date
• Leave Bluetooth ON so your Oura Ring stays synced with your phone
• Open Paceline at least once a week — the more often you open it, the more reliably we can sync your data and maintain syncing permissions
• Open the Oura app regularly so your latest activity syncs before Paceline pulls it
• Not every fitness device can automatically track every workout type — check which workouts your device can auto-sense and which need to be manually started
• Some fitness devices default to Sunday–Saturday weeks, while Paceline weeks run Monday 00:00 → Sunday 23:59 (your local time) — update your week start in your device's app settings if you'd like them to match

Troubleshooting Missing Activity Data

Quick Fixes

1. Update your Oura app, Oura Ring firmware, and phone software to the latest versions
2. Confirm that all Required Settings above are enabled
3. Open the Oura app and confirm your ring has synced recent activity
4. Open Paceline and keep it open in the foreground for 3–5 minutes on a strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection (this is important)
5. On the Activity tab, tap and pull down to refresh the data — If your activity appears, you're good to go. If not, continue below

Advanced Sync Troubleshooting

1. Delete and reinstall the Paceline app on your phone
2. Re-enable all Required Settings
3. Make sure your Oura Ring is charged and has synced recently in the Oura app
4. Reconnect Oura:
   • Profile → Linked Fitness Devices → Oura → Unlink → Re-link
5. Open Paceline and let it sit in the foreground for several minutes to complete a sync
6. On the Activity tab, tap and pull down to refresh the data

If your activity still doesn't appear after 24 hours, please contact us with a screenshot of the missing Activity Time or Workouts from your Oura app. Since we don't have your physical device in-hand, this helps us find where the sync is getting stuck so that we can get you back on track.
