About

Healko

Read full description

Healko is the privacy-first bridge between Apple Health and your smart home. If you run Home Assistant, Healko is the missing link. Push your Apple Health metrics — heart rate, steps, sleep, weight, blood pressure, SpO2, glucose, and more — to your Home Assistant dashboard in under 30 seconds. Or pull data the other way: bind any HA sensor (smart scale, BP cuff, sleep mat) to Apple Health and watch readings flow into your iPhone automatically. Healko talks directly to YOUR Home Assistant instance. No Healko servers in the middle. Local network or Nabu Casa Cloud — your choice. Your health data never leaves the path between your phone and your HA. Features: - Bidirectional sync — push to HA AND pull from HA - 38 Apple Health metrics supported - Sub-30-second background latency via HKObserverQuery - Source-tagged samples — see in Apple Health exactly which HA sensor each reading came from - Apple Watch + Shortcuts + Siri support - Demo mode — try the app with synthetic data before connecting your HA - Localized in 9 languages Healko Pro unlocks all 38 metrics, the HA → Apple Health reverse bridge, and the full Shortcuts library. Privacy by design. No analytics. No accounts. No third-party servers. Your HA URL and access token live in iOS Keychain on this device only. Important: Healko is a home-automation utility, not a medical device. It does not connect to or pair with any medical hardware. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and should not be used to make medical decisions. The values shown are the same metrics already stored in Apple Health on your own iPhone, sourced from hardware you already own and paired through Apple's own Health app. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical advice. Available worldwide for personal home-automation use only.
