compatible applications.All Bluetooth-based trackers are supported. Those are:Fitbit OneFitbit ZipFitbit FlexFitbit ForceFitbit ChargeFitbit Charge HRNoteThe newer Trackers: Alta, Surge, and Blaze arenot supporteddue to a change in the network communication protocol.
Help with dumps is welcome !NoteThe Fitbit Ultra tracker isnot supportedas it communicates
using the ANT protocol. To synchronize it, please uselibfitbit.This utility is mainly targeted at Linux because Fitbit does not
provide any Linux-compatible software, but as Python is
cross-platform and the libraries used are available on a broad variety
of platforms, it should not be too difficult to port it to other
platforms.Main featuresSynchronize your fitbit tracker with the fitbit server using the provided
dongle.Securely communicate (using HTTPS) with the fitbit server.Save all your dumps locally for possible later analyse.InstallationThe easy wayWarningIf you want to run the utility as a non-root user, you will have

main documentation we have. Thewikiis meant to gather technical
information about the project like the communication protocol, or the format
of the dump. Once this information reached a suffficient level of maturation,
the goal is to integrate it into the project documentation. So head-on there,
and start sharing your findings !Manual pages for thegalileo(1) utility and thegalileorc(5) configuration
file are provided within thedocdirectory.AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to the folks present @ theissue 46of libfitbit.Especially tosansneuralforhttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwJmJQV9_KRcSE0ySGxkbG1PbVE/editandIngo Lütkebohleforhttp://pastebin.com/KZS2inpq.DisclaimerFitbit is a registered trademark and service mark of Fitbit, Inc.  galileo is
