24 alternatives to I made my fitness dashboard public and Apple Health needs an API

Why I built my own fitness dashboard, made it public, and what it says about data ownership.

A developer tool that enables integration between fitness dashboards and Apple Health through an API. Created after the maker's own fitness dashboard became public, it allows developers to sync health data with Apple's… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi, I'm Bart, one of the maintainers of Open Wearables. For the past few months we've been building an open-source, self-hosted backend that normalises health and fitness data from multiple wearable providers (Garmin, Whoop, Apple Health, Samsung Health and others) into a single AI-ready REST API - and thought it was worth sharing here too :) We built this out of our own experience doing custom wearable integrations for clients, and from working with paid SaaS solutions that often lack the flexibility to customise data pipelines or debug what's actually happening under the hood.…

    Hey HN, This is an MCP server to chat with Apple Health data. I built it because I'm working on (yet another) personal trainer tool that keeps track of my workout goals, etc. and does scheduling for me. Part of that is weekly check-ins. I thought pairing those check-ins with sensor data could be useful, so here we are. It seems there isn't a way to automate access to Apple Health data, so this relies on an iOS app that can quickly/easily export key data to CSV. So the process at the moment is to export the data every Sunday before doing a check-in. More steps than I'd like, but in…

    Hi HN, I recently started running, and like most people who get into it, I began caring a lot about the data. I use an Apple Watch and Apple Health to track everything, but there’s no wrapped-style summary for that data which I can be proud of. So I built one. Apple Health Wrapped connects to your Apple Health data and generates a beautiful, shareable yearly summary (similar to Spotify Wrapped, but slightly more fun) This is a small side project and still early. I’m mainly curious: Did you liked it? What part exactly? What would you want to see in a fitness wrap that’s missing today? Happy…

    Hi HN, I made a tool for displaying your Apple Health data (activities, workouts, body metrics) and display them in Grafana to be manipulated, aggregated etc. It's useful for finding trends, get daily/monthly/yearly stats and visualize outdoor routes on a bigger screen !

    Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening. I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales. I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips…

    For the longest time, I've been interested in the idea that the personal data we have logged across platforms can "paint" a pretty clear picture of who we are. And, as individuals, this will reveal fun and maybe sharable stories about us. So I made this app, Day by Data, to connect with and visualize your personal data like step count, music listening habits, and more into tiny visualizations and data art right on your iPhone. The launch version has a few year-in-steps breakdowns and a few Spotify data-visualizations. Over time, the goal is to make more data sources available to connect and…
