When you first open Health Exporter, the app will ask for permission to read your health data. You can choose exactly which data types to allow. If you accidentally denied access, go to Settings > Health > Health Exporter on your iPhone to manage permissions.

Health Exporter supports 22 health data types across five categories: Activity (steps, walking distance, active & basal calories, exercise minutes, flights climbed), Heart (resting & walking heart rate, HRV, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate), Body (weight, BMI, body fat, lean body mass), Nutrition (dietary energy, protein, carbohydrates, total fat), and Other (sleep with stage breakdown, VO2 max, wrist temperature). You select exactly which types to include in each export.

Yes! Health Exporter supports exporting detailed workout data for 68 activity types, including running, cycling, swimming, HIIT, yoga, strength training, hiking, and many more. Each workout export includes activity type, start/end time, duration, statistics (calories, distance, heart rate min/avg/max), and events (pauses, laps). You can filter by specific workout types or export all at once.

You can also add the GPS route recorded with an outdoor workout, along with the heart rate measured along it. It is off by default: switch on Include GPS route in the Workouts tab, and choose whether the coordinates go inside the JSON or into one GPX file per workout.

Sleep exports include total sleep duration plus a full stage breakdown: core sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep, and awake time. This gives you a complete picture of your sleep quality, not just total hours.

All data is exported as standard JSON files with a clean, well-structured format. JSON is widely supported and can be opened by spreadsheet apps, data analysis tools, or processed by scripts and automations. Dates use ISO 8601 format, and all values include their units for clarity.

Health Exporter provides two Shortcuts actions: "Export Health Data" for health metrics and "Export Workouts" for workout data. You can find them when adding actions in Shortcuts by searching for "Health Exporter". Use them to schedule automatic exports, filter by data type or workout activity, chain with other actions (like saving to iCloud Drive or sending via email), or build fully custom workflows.

You can export data for three time periods: Yesterday (1 day), Last 7 Days, or Last 30 Days. Each one counts whole days ending yesterday. There is also an Include Today option, on by default, which adds the day in progress: with it on, Yesterday covers two days and Last 7 Days covers eight. The current day is partial by definition, since it is not over yet, so turn Include Today off when you want complete days only. Sleep is the reason it is on by default: sleep is reported on the day you woke up, so last night's sleep is filed under today.

No. Your health data stays on your device at all times and is never sent to any server. The app reads data from Apple Health only when you initiate an export, and there are no accounts and no advertising. The app does send a small number of anonymous usage events, such as when an export completes or fails, so bugs can be found and fixed. Those events contain no health data and nothing that identifies you.

That covers GPS routes too. The app never asks for location permission and cannot see where you are; it reads the routes your device already recorded, only while producing an export you asked for, and the coordinates go nowhere but into your file. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Make sure you have granted HealthKit permissions for the data types you want to export. Go to Settings > Health > Health Exporter and verify the toggles are enabled. Also ensure that the Apple Health app has data recorded for the selected types and time period. Some data types (like wrist temperature or VO2 max) require an Apple Watch.
