View Apple Fitness Workouts on Mac and iPad

With version 4.7 of Health Auto Export, it is now possible to sync and view Workouts saved in Apple Health on iPad. Version 1.1 for macOS, now available, makes Workouts available on the Mac as well.

New data will automatically be synced across your devices, and if you wish to sync historical data from before you installed the app, this is possible as well.

Delve into several metrics associated with your workout, including, energy burn, all heart rate data, heart rate recovery, and workout routes where applicable. The iPhone app already provides some additional information, depending on the type of workout, such as step count and cadence, swim stroke count, and more, and these metrics will be coming to the Mac and iPad as well.

Many more exciting updates are in the pipeline, but there’s no need to wait.

Health Auto Export is available now on the App Store as a universal purchase. Hop on board!

Export Apple Health Data and Workouts to JSON

Version 4.5 of Health Auto Export is now available and brings several new export options in JSON format. This release expands JSON support to several existing export capabilities.

Users can now export individual health metrics or workouts, along with workout routes and metadata, to JSON format. Automated backups to iCloud Drive and bulk exports also gain JSON support.

Finally, API Exports will now include workouts, alongside health metrics, in both JSON and CSV format.

Head over to the App Store to grab the version 4.5 update.

Export Apple Health Data via API; Create a Personal Database; Integrate with Services

Health Auto Export introduces API Export, allowing users to export Apple Health data to any REST API URL. With this release, users are empowered more than ever before to fully capitalize on the wealth of information stored in Apple Health.

API Export allows users to create their own backups of health data to personal databases, or export data to analytics services to gain insights into their health.

For developers and health platforms, there is no longer a need to build from the ground up. Get a head start by integrating with Health Auto Export by giving users their own URLs and access keys, and the app takes care of the rest.

API Export is available in JSON and CSV format, providing a wide range of options and compatibility with APIs. Visit the documentation page for more information regarding usage and formatting.

Automate Apple Health Exports Using Shortcuts

Version 4.3 of Health Auto Export is now live and brings Shortcuts support on iPhone.

With this update, you’ll be able to configure your own automations for Apple Health and Workouts exports. This provides the opportunity for a much more customized experience with Health Auto Export.

Set up alternate backup locations like Google Drive or Dropbox, or set up integrations to push exports to a web server.

Notably, there are some limitations enforced by iOS when running Shortcuts that users should be aware of—Shortcuts are limited to 30 MB memory and ~10 seconds execution time. This means configurations should aim to perform exports in small batches. If you experience issues running your shortcuts, try using a larger aggregation interval, a shorter time period, or try batching less metrics into once shortcut.

As always, feel free to get in touch with any questions or issues you encounter.

Health Auto Export requires iOS 14, watchOS 7 and macOS 11 or later.

Health Auto Export Brings Apple Health Widgets to Mac and iPad

Since Apple Health was introduced way back in June 2014, iPhone users have been relishing the day that Apple would extend the app’s availability to other platforms, namely Mac and iPad.

This wish never materialized.

With the release of iOS 14 earlier this fall, Home Screen health widgets have been a popular hit with users, but these too have been essentially limited to the iPhone—until now.

Health Auto Export aims to solve these problems. For a long time, the app has focused on providing users with a way to get health data out of Apple Health through exports to CSV files—with over 80 different metrics currently available to export and more on the way. Recent updates introduced automated backups for health data and workouts to iCloud Drive as CSV and GPX files.

Health Auto Export now offers apps spanning across iOS, watchOS and macOS, bringing health widgets to the Mac and iPad. By enabling Auto Sync in the Apple Watch and iPhone versions, health metrics can be shared across a user's devices via iCloud.

Of course, privacy is of paramount importance. Data is synced directly and securely over iCloud, and is never sent to any other third party. The app contains no third party frameworks, and performs "destructive" updates, meaning previous data is always overwritten on each sync rather than persisting data indefinitely.

Health Auto Export is available on the App Store with support for Auto Sync and automated Apple Health backups. Health Auto Export requires watchOS 7.0, macOS Big Sur, and iOS 14.

Export GPX Routes for Apple Health Workouts

Version 4.1 - Export GPX Routes for Apple Health Workouts

Version 4.1 of Health Auto Export to CSV brings a new workouts detail page displaying more additional information about your workout sessions, and also brings the ability to export GPX route files for your outdoor workouts. If you have automated backups enabled, these data will be added to your automated workout exports with no extra work needed.

In this release, GPX data is included for outdoor running, swimming, cycling and hiking workouts, with support for more workout types in the works!
