Unwind with sleep sounds and bedtime stories. Build a wind-down routine, log your night, and explore available sleep insights from Apple Health with Harmoni. SOUNDS FOR YOUR EVENING Explore nature sounds and white, pink and brown noise. Layer sounds, adjust volumes, save favorites and set a sleep timer. Generated noise works offline; other audio needs a connection or a previously cached file. STORIES AND WIND-DOWN ROUTINES Choose a track from illustrated story and soundscape collections. Set your sleep goal and schedule, then follow bedtime activities at your own pace, with optional reminders. YOUR SLEEP JOURNAL Log bedtime, wake time, sleep quality, wake-ups and morning mood. Add a reflection and revisit your entries. Manual check-ins receive an estimated score based on your answers; they do not measure sleep stages. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH INSIGHTS See available sleep records, calculated scores and stage details. Stages require compatible data in Apple Health, such as recordings from an Apple Watch. Missing measurements are shown as unavailable. NIGHTTIME SOUND SUMMARIES With microphone permission, monitor sound levels and review detected sound disturbances. Only summaries are saved, not audio recordings. This feature does not identify snoring or diagnose sleep conditions. Start without entering a password using an automatic account. Optional sign-in helps you keep your account across devices. Free and premium content is available. Some sounds and collections require Harmoni Premium; purchase options and current prices are shown in the app. The app interface is currently in English. Stories are not available in every language. Harmoni is a wellness app, not a medical device. Scores are estimates, not diagnoses or treatments.

Turn your Apple Watch and iPhone health data into live Home Assistant sensors — automatically, privately, with no subscription. HealthSync reads the metrics you choose from Apple Health and sends them straight to your own Home Assistant instance. Nothing else, nobody else — no cloud backend, no account, no third party ever sees your data. FREE TO USE Manual sync is free forever — every metric, no limits, no trial. Tap to sync any time. A one-time in-app purchase (not a subscription) unlocks fully automatic background syncing, so data flows in without you opening the app. WHAT IT SYNCS - Steps and active calories - Heart rate, HRV, and resting heart rate - Sleep, with full stage breakdown (core, deep, REM, awake) - Workouts — type, duration, distance, calories - Blood pressure, blood oxygen (SpO2), respiratory rate, blood glucose - Weight, BMI, body fat %, lean body mass, height, VO2 max, and more — 27 metrics in total HOW IT WORKS HealthSync uses HealthKit's background delivery, backed up by a periodic refresh request, so your data syncs automatically without opening the app. Exactly when each sync runs is up to iOS — it schedules background activity based on your usage and battery state, not a fixed interval. Recovering older data? Sync History pulls in months or years of history, typically in a minute or two. BUILT FOR HOME ASSISTANT Point HealthSync at any webhook-reachable HA instance — local network, Nabu Casa, Tailscale, whatever you already use. A free, open-source companion HACS integration turns incoming data into ready-made sensors, so you're building automations in minutes, not writing YAML by hand. LOCAL-FIRST, NO EXCEPTIONS No analytics, no crash reporting, no ads, no third-party servers of any kind. Your health data goes only to the webhook URL you configure yourself. The developer never sees it, stores it, or has access to it. WHAT YOU'LL NEED A running Home Assistant instance, reachable by URL. Full setup instructions, plus the companion HACS integration, are in the app and on GitHub. Built for people who already run Home Assistant and want their own health data in their own dashboards and automations, on their own terms.
