Amazing
I’ve looked for a long time off and on for a good way to get my Apple Health data to my Mac and analyze it. 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.

For those of us who use Obsidian ...
... 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.
