Apple Health & Fitness Skill

Access Health and Fitness data from Apple Health app.

Status

⚠️ UNDER DEVELOPMENT

The Apple Health app does not have a robust AppleScript dictionary. Health and Fitness data access requires:

  1. Export from Health app - Manual or via healthexport CLI tool
  2. Parse XML/CSV - Health data is exported as XML or CSV files
  3. Query exported data - Use standard tools to analyze exports

Planned Implementation

Method 1: healthexport CLI Tool

healthexport is a community tool for exporting Apple Health data:

# Install healthexport
pip3 install healthexport

# Export all health data
healthexport ~/health-export/

# Export specific data types
healthexport --data-type StepCount ~/health-export/
healthexport --data-type HeartRate ~/health-export/

Output: CSV files with timestamps and values

Method 2: Health.app Export

Manual export via Health app:

  1. Open Health app
  2. Profile → Export All Health Data
  3. Generates export.xml file
  4. Parse XML with standard tools

Method 3: HealthKit Framework (Advanced)

Use Swift CLI tool with HealthKit framework:

  • Requires Xcode and Swift development
  • More powerful but complex setup
  • Can query live data without export

Planned Helper Scripts

health-export

Export health data for specific timeframe and metrics:

health-export --days 7 --type steps,heart-rate ~/health-export/

health-query

Query exported health data:

health-query ~/health-export/ --metric steps --days 7 --summary
health-query ~/health-export/ --metric heart-rate --date 2025-11-15

fitness-summary

Activity and workout summaries:

fitness-summary --week         # This week's activity
fitness-summary --month        # This month's summary
fitness-summary --workouts 5   # Last 5 workouts

Data Types Available

Activity

  • Steps
  • Flights climbed
  • Distance walked/run
  • Active energy burned
  • Exercise minutes

Workouts

  • Workout type
  • Duration
  • Distance (for running/walking/cycling)
  • Calories burned
  • Heart rate during workout

Heart Rate

  • Resting heart rate
  • Walking heart rate
  • Heart rate variability
  • Heart rate during exercise

Sleep

  • Sleep duration
  • Time asleep vs. time in bed
  • Sleep stages (if available)

Body Measurements

  • Weight
  • Height
  • Body mass index (BMI)
  • Body fat percentage

Vitals

  • Blood pressure
  • Blood glucose
  • Blood oxygen
  • Respiratory rate

Privacy & Security

Health data is HIGHLY SENSITIVE. This skill will be:

  • READ-ONLY - No writing to Health app
  • EXPLICIT CONSENT - Always ask before accessing health data
  • AGGREGATED DATA ONLY - Summaries and trends, not raw detailed records
  • NO SHARING - Health data never sent to external services

Roadmap

Phase 1: Export & Basic Queries (In Progress)

  • Install and test healthexport tool
  • Create helper scripts for common queries
  • Document export process
  • Test with actual Health app data

Phase 2: Common Use Cases

  • Weekly activity summaries
  • Workout tracking and analysis
  • Sleep pattern analysis
  • Heart rate trend monitoring
  • Weight tracking

Phase 3: Advanced Features

  • Live data queries (HealthKit framework)
  • Trend analysis and insights
  • Goal tracking
  • Health correlations
  • Export automation

Examples (Planned)

User: "How many steps did I take this week?"

health-query ~/health-export/ --metric steps --days 7 --summary

Response: "You took 45,234 steps this week, averaging 6,462 steps per day."

User: "Show my recent workouts"

fitness-summary --workouts 5

Response:

  • Nov 11: Running, 3.2 miles, 32 minutes
  • Nov 9: Cycling, 10 miles, 45 minutes
  • Nov 8: Strength training, 40 minutes
  • Nov 6: Running, 5K, 28 minutes
  • Nov 5: Walking, 2 miles, 35 minutes

User: "What was my average heart rate yesterday?"

health-query ~/health-export/ --metric heart-rate --date 2025-11-14 --average

Response: "Your average heart rate yesterday was 72 bpm (resting: 65, max: 145)."

Development Notes

Testing Requirements

  • Real Health app data with multiple data types
  • Multiple export formats (XML, CSV)
  • Various date ranges and queries
  • Privacy-preserving aggregation

Dependencies

  • Python 3.x (for healthexport)
  • SQLite (for local data cache)
  • jq (for JSON parsing)

Alternative: Fitness.app

Fitness.app has better AppleScript support than Health.app for Activity Ring data:

tell application "Fitness"
    -- Query activity rings
    -- (Limited to current day only)
end tell

May be useful for real-time "close your rings" type queries.

Status Updates

2025-11-12: Initial skill created, implementation in progress. Next: Install and test healthexport, create first helper scripts.

  • apple-productivity - Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, Reminders
  • apple-shortcuts - Run macOS Shortcuts (could trigger Health exports)

Current Status: This skill is a placeholder for future development. Health data access is complex due to privacy restrictions and lack of direct API access. Implementation will proceed carefully with security and privacy as top priorities.
