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
Health Export

Get your health data out of your phone and into your own hands. Health Export reads the Health categories you choose and turns them into clean JSON or CSV files — saved to a folder you pick, or delivered automatically to a server you control. YOUR DATA NEVER TOUCHES OUR SERVERS There is no account, no cloud, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything runs on your device. Exports go only to destinations you explicitly configure: a Files/iCloud folder, or webhook URLs you type in yourself. The App Privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because that is literally how the app is built. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Export steps, workouts, sleep, heart rate, and dozens more Health metrics • Choose exactly which categories to include — nothing is read without your say-so • Clean, documented JSON with published schemas, or spreadsheet-ready CSV • Webhook delivery: POST exports to your own server, secured with your credentials • Automation-friendly: schedule-style repeat exports without babysitting the app • "Copy for AI" digest: a compact, on-device summary of your recent data, sized for pasting into any chatbot — with ready-made prompts for sleep coaching, training analysis, or doctor-visit prep. All numbers are computed on your device; no AI service ever receives your data from us. FREE VS. PRO The free version exports your last 30 days as JSON. Health Export Pro — a single one-time purchase, never a subscription — unlocks: • Full history export (every year of data you have) • CSV output • Webhook delivery to your own server • Repeat/automated exports BUILT FOR TINKERERS AND THE PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS Feed your data into spreadsheets, dashboards, git repos, home servers, or AI tools — on your terms. A free, open Cloudflare Worker receiver and published JSON Schemas are available if you want a ready-made endpoint. Health Export works with Apple Health. It requires permission to read the Health categories you select, and reads nothing else.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FreeReps at none against Health Export's 1. Health Export's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
