macOS App

The Mac app is a local destination and desktop control surface. Apple Health remains on iPhone; the Mac receives export jobs from the iPhone and writes the resulting Markdown, JSON, CSV, or Obsidian Bases files to the destination folder you choose.

Panes

Sync

Shows whether the Mac is discoverable and ready for iPhone export jobs.

Destination folder

Stores a security-scoped folder bookmark so received files can be written without repeated prompts.

Schedule

Keeps Mac-side scheduling and readiness visible. The iPhone still needs to be available to provide HealthKit data.

History

Tracks export outcomes, errors, and retry context for desktop-written files.

Settings

Shows configuration and folder health for the Mac destination app.

Menu bar

Quick access for status, opening the app, opening settings, and staying available in the background.

Setup

Install and open Health.md on Mac.
Pick a destination folder in iCloud Drive, local disk, or an Obsidian vault.
On iPhone, enable Mac connectivity from the Sync tab.
On iPhone, choose Connected Mac in the Export tab and configure the export.
Tap Export. The iPhone reads HealthKit and the Mac writes the received files.

HealthKit limitation.

The Mac app does not read Apple Health directly. Use the iPhone app as the HealthKit source and the Mac app as the local destination.
