Health.md turns your Apple Health data into a beautiful, searchable fitness and wellness journal in Markdown — automatically synced to Obsidian or any folder you choose. HOW IT WORKS • Connect once to Apple Health • Choose from more than 225 health data points across 21 categories, including sleep, HRV, steps, and heart rate • Health.md writes a daily Markdown note — your personal health log — formatted exactly how you want it • Notes land in your Obsidian vault, iCloud Drive, or any local folder WHAT YOU CAN EXPORT • Sleep — total, deep, REM, core, awake, time in bed • Heart — HRV (daily average), resting heart rate, walking heart rate, average/min/max HR, heart rate recovery • Activity — steps, distance, active energy, exercise minutes, VO2 max, stand time • Body — weight, BMI, body fat, lean body mass, waist circumference • Vitals — respiratory rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, wrist temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose • Nutrition — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar, sodium, cholesterol, and more • Mindfulness, symptoms, reproductive health, and dozens of additional categories OBSIDIAN NATIVE Health.md is the health tracker built for Obsidian users. Daily notes use your existing template, insert into the right folder, and support Obsidian Bases (YAML frontmatter properties) so your health data becomes queryable in Obsidian's database views. FLEXIBLE FORMATTING • Choose metric names and units • Pick daily, weekly, or manual export schedules • Use date placeholders in folder paths ({year}, {month}, {quarter}, {week}) • Export as Markdown, CSV, JSON, or Obsidian Bases YAML PRIVACY Health.md does not store your health data on Health.md servers. Processing happens on your devices, and exports go only to destinations you choose. Health.md automatically collects limited pseudonymous product events using a random app-install ID to understand onboarding and purchase flows. These events never include health values, metric names, health dates, or exported files and are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

With the iPhone app, you can connect via this app OR the brew/cargo CLI. There’s also an MCP if you prefer MCP to CLI for your agent. Heard about this from Leo Laporte and thought I’d have to look it up, and it’s marvelous. You don’t need to do anything other than start up the app on the Mac (and on the iPhone I think? I always have), and your Claude or other agent can start pulling whatever records you like, or whatever it needs to figure out whatever you ask it to. I even see the transfer status in my icon bar on my Mac and on my Apple Watch. I haven’t tried the Apple Watch app yet; it’s next. The one disappointment is Apple keeps Lab Tests locked away in some kind of special higher security vault, so I can’t download those too. ### 5/5 — For those of us who use Obsidian ... *2026-02-25* ... this is such a helpful app and developer Cody is fine-tuning. All of my Apple Health data, culled from different sources (Watch, Omron, a smart scale), is sent in Bases form directly to Obsidian, saving me lots of time. It's still rough around an edge or two, but for anybody who uses Obsidian and collects/tracks health data this is indispensable. Other apps export Health data but not in markdown to Obsidian. ## Frequently asked questions about Health.md ### What health metrics can Health.md export?

Fixed • Export folders on iCloud Drive, Dropbox, and similar cloud locations no longer lose their selection when the app restarts. Previously the folder had to be re-selected before automatic exports and Shortcuts would run again. • A completed export no longer shows a red error toast — the success toast is back, with its Preview and Browse actions. • Choosing the iCloud Drive root now shows it as “iCloud Drive” instead of a technical folder name. • Scheduled exports targeting an API endpoint with no configured URL now explain exactly what to fix, instead of a generic unknown error. ### 3.1 — 2026-08-22 Health.md 3.1 makes export profiles fully editable and scheduled exports far more dependable. New • Edit every profile setting in one place: name, target, destination folder or endpoint, formats, write mode, templates, and the full metric picker — with a true system folder picker and inline endpoint creation. • New profiles start from a small setup form, with a live warning when two profiles would write the same files. Improved • Profile schedules and the classic schedule now run side by side, preserved retries survive interruptions, notification taps resume the exact export, and schedule edits update the next export time immediately. • Clearer wording when a workout's structured plan cannot be read on your device, and partial-export warnings you can copy for bug reports. ### 3.0.5 — 2026-08-11 Health.md 3.0.5 turns your Apple Health data into a clinician-ready report without sending it anywhere. New • Create 7-, 30-, 90-day, or custom-range reports with 11 focused health metrics. • Preview summaries and detailed readings, then export an accessible Letter or A4 PDF. • Scan a Direct CLI pairing QR in the app to connect more quickly. Privacy • Report generation stays on your device. Temporary files remain private until you explicitly share or save them. Improved • Missing, partial, and unavailable readings are explained clearly so reports do not imply data that is not there. ### 3.0.4 — 2026-08-05 Health.md 3.0.4 now feels at home in more languages and makes first-time setup clearer. New • Full app localization for German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. • Localized guidance across export, scheduling, formatting, preview, tracking, and Mac destination flows. Improved • A clearer onboarding path gets you from Apple Health and folder setup to your first export. • Scheduled exports share the same free-export allowance as manual exports. • You can choose whether exports include the Health.md data dictionary. • Privacy and analytics explanations now clarify what limited product events contain—and what they never include. ### 2.9.3 — 2026-07-16 This update includes minor bug fixes and reliability improvements. ## Apps similar to Health.md | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Luna: White Noise Sleep Fan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/luna-white-noise-sleep-fan/id6760312187) | 4.6 (37) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [HeartOxy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heartoxy/id6757838240) | — | $3.99 | Health & Fitness | | [myWeight – control your body](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/myweight-control-your-body/id6757015406) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Mindful Body: Train & Track](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mindful-body-train-and-track/id6760477510) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Run Receipt](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/run-receipt/id6759910078) | 5.0 (1) | $0.99 | Health & Fitness | | [Breathing Exercises - Bretho](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/breathing-exercises-bretho/id6739977352) | 5.0 (35) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Cody Russell Bontecou - [Instarep.ly](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/instareply/id6754865693) - [imghost](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/imghost/id6758588596) - [GitSync.md](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gitsyncmd/id6758960270) - [Vox.md - Quick Capture Notes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/voxmd-quick-capture-notes/id6758967337) - [iso.me](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/isome/id6761960794) All apps by Cody Russell Bontecou: https://appshunter.io/developer/1850631579 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
