Can I restore my purchase?

Yes. Use Restore Purchase in the app. StoreKit restores the Full Access transaction tied to your Apple ID.

No. Obsidian workflows are supported, but you can export plain Markdown, CSV, and JSON to any folder, spreadsheet workflow, notebook, or script.

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store refund process.

Workflow

Choose the Data, Inspect the File, Then Export It Privately

Choose Output

Select metrics, date ranges, filenames, folders, and any mix of Markdown, Obsidian Bases, CSV, and JSON.

Export Privately

Save to Files, iCloud Drive, an Obsidian vault, a file provider, or a nearby Mac on your local network.

# 2026-06-12 Health Summary

This note is frontmatter-first so Obsidian Bases can filter,
sort, and chart properties like `steps`, `sleep_total_hours`,
and `workout_details` without changing the file format.

Obsidian Workflows

Daily Notes, Bases, and Individual Entries Can Coexist

Use Health.md as a controlled bridge between Apple Health and a folder-based personal knowledge system.

Daily Note Injection

Merge selected metrics into existing daily note frontmatter and replace app-managed body sections when needed.

Individual Entry Tracking

Create timestamped Markdown files for workouts, mood logs, vitals, medications, and event-like metrics.

Flexible Paths

Use placeholders such as {date}, {year}, {month}, {weekday}, {monthName}, and {quarter} to match your vault.

Buyer FAQ

The Practical Details Before You Trust It With HealthKit

Short answers for questions people ask before installing a health-data export tool.

Does Health.md upload my health data?

No. Health.md does not run a health-data cloud service, require an account, or collect analytics. HealthKit reads happen on your Apple devices. Exported files may sync only through destinations you choose.

What does Full Access unlock?

Full Access unlocks unlimited exports, scheduled exports, Mac destination workflows, and Shortcuts support. It is a one-time in-app purchase handled by StoreKit.

How do I restore a purchase?

Use Restore Purchase from the app’s paywall or settings. StoreKit restores the Full Access transaction tied to your Apple ID.

Does Apple Watch data export?

Yes, when that data is already in Apple Health and you grant Health.md permission for the relevant categories.

Do I need Obsidian?

No. Obsidian daily notes and Bases are supported, but Health.md also exports standard Markdown, CSV, and JSON files.

Can I export only CSV or JSON?

Yes. Choose only the formats you want for each export. Markdown and Obsidian output are optional.

How does Mac sync work?

The iPhone remains the HealthKit source. The Mac app acts as a local destination over nearby-device connectivity and writes files into the folder you choose.

Are scheduled exports guaranteed?

No. iOS background refresh is opportunistic, so the scheduled time is a target. Health.md uses local notifications as a fallback when manual action is needed.

Is Health.md medical advice?

No. Health.md is a data export tool, not a medical device, diagnosis tool, healthcare provider, or emergency service.

How do refunds work?

App Store purchases and refunds are handled by Apple through the App Store refund process.
