iPhone and iPad: export Apple Health#

1. Give it Health access#

Grant any subset. Change it later in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Hozz.

2. Pick a destination#

Nothing leaves until you add and confirm a destination.

On Automatic, choose a discovered Mac or one of five presets. Start with Folder if unsure.

Choose its Health types, format and cadence. Send a test uses a probe with no Health data.

3. Run the first export#

Automatic sync works through history in bounded batches, sharing each pass across selected types.

The phone reports completed types; the Mac reports received types and date coverage. Health does not reveal totals before reading them, so Hozz cannot give a percentage or estimate.

Export builds a historical NDJSON, CSV, JSON, SQLite, Markdown or GPX file. Interrupted exports resume from their last durable checkpoint.

Manual export is independent of automatic destinations.

Build from source instead#

git clone --branch v0.1.0-beta.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/brandomoore/Hozz.git
