Health data stays trapped.
Useful records become hard to reuse when export controls are broad or unclear.

Apple Health export utility
ReleaseAugust 4, 2026
Version 1.0
Core valueControlled transfer
With explicit data choices
Project value
Give people a clear route out of a closed health-data system.
What the design needed to achieve
- ✓
Let users choose data before the app requests access.
- ✓
Support a local file and a personal server destination.
- ✓
Keep sensitive transfer choices visible and reversible.
Access can exceed need.
A health utility can request more data or storage than the task requires.
Show every transfer step.
Place selection, permission, destination, and file review in a clear order.
Design decisions
Make sensitive data movement understandable.
01Select data before access
Purpose first
Users choose the Health data types they need before the related read permission appears.
Intended impact
Connect each permission request to a visible purpose.
02Offer two clear destinations
Flexible ownership
The product creates a ZIP file or sends JSON batches to the user’s own HTTPS webhook.
Intended impact
Support a simple file flow and a repeatable personal sync flow.
03Make exports inspectable
Transparent output
A documented JSON schema, manifest, and sample batches make the output easier to understand.
Intended impact
Reduce uncertainty before the data enters another system.
04Avoid a bundled service
Privacy boundary
The app has no account, analytics, ads, tracking, or bundled backend. Users can review and delete stored ZIP files.
Intended impact
Keep control with the person who owns the data.
Product proof
The interface shows what moves and where it goes.
The range, selected data, access, and file action share one screen.
A personal webhook stays separate from local file export.
Search and selection happen before Health access.
Result
A direct health-data utility reached the App Store.
