This is really cool - I recently worked on a tool that I installed on my iPhone, which extracts all health data nightly to CSV and then to a cloud database. This was quite straightforward once you understand the permissions. I wonder why the OP didn’t do this and was instead using a simple health export CSV? The main concern I had with releasing this or turning it into a tool was data security. I have been swimming 1…

I thought this was sort of deliberate for Apple Health. People use it to track sensitive information, like reproductive and mental health data, that should only be exported very intentionally.
Agreed. I'm fine jumping through a couple hoops to get my own data in this case.
This is awesome! I’ve been working on and off for the last few months on an AI running coach app. Would love to compare notes of effectively prompting Claude or O3 to analyze workouts / build workout plans. In my experience it still requires a lot of hand holding (sudden mileage increases w/w, inconsistent intervals, etc)
We have a REST API with python client lib (https://fulcradynamics.github.io/developer-docs/), an MCP server (https://fulcradynamics.github.io/developer-docs/mcp-server/), and did some experiments with ChatGPT actions as well (https://www.fulcradynamics.com/chatgpt).
It doesn't have the simplicity of a plain export to duckdb/sqlite, but it definitely helps solve a lot of the sharing/collaboration problems.
I am once again wishing screen time data was in Apple Health :( Exporting that is even worse.
The best approach we've found to tracking specific app use time is to have our app publish App Intents, and then tell users to trigger those intents with shortcuts. It's fairly effective, but very clunky to set up and has to be done app by app..

Does it include health records (eg from Epic)?

I’ve found good value in making purpose-build MCP servers like that with the general model: DataDuckDBMCPLLM With verbose description for the LLM of an “sql” tool endpoint for it to use to explore.
