Apple Health app sync

Sync Apple Health data to your own backend.

HealthSync is a native iOS app that reads selected HealthKit data on-device and uploads queued JSON batches to a backend API you configure.

How it works

The website never reads your Apple Health data.

Apple Health access runs through HealthKit on the iPhone after the user grants permission. HealthSync handles HealthKit authorization, selected data type toggles, local persistence, and sync inside the iOS app.

Apple describes HealthKit as the central store for health and fitness data on iPhone and Apple Watch, with app access controlled by user permission. HealthSync follows that model and sends data only to the backend URL and token configured inside the app.

Supported data

Selected HealthKit types, not a bulk data dump.

HealthSync is built around explicit toggles and predictable backend payloads, so a private API can ingest only the health data types the user chooses.

  • Steps and activity energy
  • Heart rate, resting heart rate, and HRV SDNN
  • Sleep analysis
  • Workouts
  • Body mass and body fat percentage
  • Optional dietary energy, macros, and water

Use cases

Built for private Apple Health sync workflows.

The best fit is a user-controlled backend: a local API, hosted FastAPI service, Supabase-backed endpoint, or another HTTPS service that you operate.

  • Self-hosted personal health dashboards
  • Private quantified-self databases
  • HealthKit-to-FastAPI or Postgres ingestion
  • Personal AI agents that need read-only health summaries
  • Backfill and retry workflows for unreliable mobile networks
