FreeReps vs HealthySync

IMPORTANT: FreeReps is NOT a standalone health or fitness app. It is a companion app for the open-source FreeReps server. You must have a FreeReps server running on your own hardware and connected to your Tailscale network before this app is useful. FreeReps uses Tailscale for authentication and encrypted connectivity — there is no other way to connect. If you do not already have a FreeReps server and a Tailscale account, this app is not for you. What FreeReps does: FreeReps syncs your Apple Health data from your iPhone to your self-hosted FreeReps server over Tailscale. Your data stays on hardware you own — no third-party cloud, no subscriptions, no ads. The server provides a web dashboard with interactive charts, correlation analysis, and trend exploration. Features: • Sync on request from the app, a Home Screen widget, or the "Sync Health Data" action in Shortcuts and Siri, including personal automations • Incremental sync: only what Apple Health added since the last sync is sent • Supports 50+ HealthKit data types • Configurable sync categories — choose exactly what to share • Live Activity and Dynamic Island progress during sync • Zero-config authentication via Tailscale identity • MCP interface lets AI assistants query your health data on the server Requirements: • A Tailscale account with your iPhone connected to your tailnet • A running FreeReps server on your own hardware, connected to the same tailnet • Basic self-hosting experience Setup instructions, source code, and documentation: https://github.com/meltforce/freereps

HealthSync is a privacy-first iPhone app for people who want selected health data available in systems they control. Choose the categories you want to sync, including steps, energy, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, sleep, workouts, body metrics, and optional nutrition and water data. HealthSync reads data on-device after you grant permission, stores your upload token in Keychain, and sends queued JSON batches only to the backend you configure or to hosted HealthSync storage when enabled. Use HealthSync for private dashboards, personal analytics, self-hosted databases, and agent workflows that need health summaries from your own endpoint. What you can do: - Review Health access with user-controlled read permissions - Toggle each health category before sync - Sync the last 24 hours or backfill a date range - Retry failed uploads automatically - Use a custom HTTPS backend or managed HealthSync storage - Keep raw health payloads out of app logs HealthSync does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is a data sync utility for personal use.
