Since Apple Health was introduced way back in June 2014, iPhone users have been relishing the day that Apple would extend the app’s availability to other platforms, namely Mac and iPad.
This wish never materialized.
With the release of iOS 14 earlier this fall, Home Screen health widgets have been a popular hit with users, but these too have been essentially limited to the iPhone—until now.
Health Auto Export aims to solve these problems. For a long time, the app has focused on providing users with a way to get health data out of Apple Health through exports to CSV files—with over 80 different metrics currently available to export and more on the way. Recent updates introduced automated backups for health data and workouts to iCloud Drive as CSV and GPX files.
Health Auto Export now offers apps spanning across iOS, watchOS and macOS, bringing health widgets to the Mac and iPad. By enabling Auto Sync in the Apple Watch and iPhone versions, health metrics can be shared across a user's devices via iCloud.
Of course, privacy is of paramount importance. Data is synced directly and securely over iCloud, and is never sent to any other third party. The app contains no third party frameworks, and performs "destructive" updates, meaning previous data is always overwritten on each sync rather than persisting data indefinitely.
Health Auto Export is available on the App Store with support for Auto Sync and automated Apple Health backups. Health Auto Export requires watchOS 7.0, macOS Big Sur, and iOS 14.
