In plain words

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 ecosystem. The tool addresses a gap in Apple Health's connectivity options, making it useful for developers building fitness applications or dashboards that need to connect with Apple's health platform.

From the sources

I love trail runs and hikes in the mountains. That's the immediate reward for all the training I do. The deeper reason I train is simpler and less glamorous: I want to carry groceries up four flights at 75. I want to hike with my grandchildren without stopping. I want to get off the floor without thinking about it. I want to stay strong and physically independent for as long as I can. That's the kind of longevity I care about, the boring, useful kind. Staying healthy involves cardio, strength training, sleep, recovery, body composition, stress, gratitude, movement throughout the day. The information about all of this lives in a handful of different apps, and none of them talk to each other…from aka.me

    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.…

  • Apple Health MCP Server2025 · github.com · ▲199

    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…

  • Apple Health Wrapped 2025Dec 2025 · healthwrapped.com · ▲166

    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’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
