# healthsync — Apple Health Data Query Skill
## Installing healthsync
```bash
# macOS and Linux (recommended)
curl -fsSL https://healthsync.sidv.dev/install | bash
# Or via Go
go install github.com/BRO3886/healthsync@latest
```
After installing the binary, parse your Apple Health export:
```bash
# Export from Health app → profile picture → Export All Health Data
healthsync parse ~/Downloads/export.zip
```
Install this skill into your agent:
```bash
# Claude Code or Codex
healthsync skills install
# OpenClaw
healthsync skills install --agent openclaw
```
Query Apple Health export data stored in a local SQLite database. This skill is **read-only** — never INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DROP anything.
## Important Constraints
- **READ ONLY** — You must NEVER write to the database. No INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, ALTER, or any write operations.
- **Two query methods**: CLI (`healthsync query`) or direct SQLite (`sqlite3 ~/.healthsync/healthsync.db`)
- **Prefer CLI** for simple queries. Use direct SQLite for complex aggregations, joins, or custom SQL.
## Database Location
Default: `~/.healthsync/healthsync.db`
## Quick Start
```bash
# Recent heart rate readings
healthsync query heart-rate --limit 10
# Steps in a date range
healthsync query steps --from 2024-01-01 --to 2024-06-30 --limit 100
# Deduplicated daily step totals
healthsync query steps --total --from 2024-01-01
# Deduplicated daily active energy totals
healthsync query active-energy --total --from 2024-01-01
# Workouts as JSON
healthsync query workouts --format json --limit 20
# Sleep data as CSV
healthsync query sleep --format csv --limit 50
# Resting heart rate trend
healthsync query resting-heart-rate --limit 30
# HRV readings
healthsync query hrv --limit 30
# Blood pressure
healthsync query blood-pressure --limit 20
# Body weight trend
healthsync query body-mass --limit 30
# Direct SQLite for aggregations
sqlite3 ~/.healthsync/healthsync.db "SELECT date(start_date) as day, SUM(value) as total_steps FROM steps GROUP BY day ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 7"
# Average resting heart rate per week
sqlite3 ~/.healthsync/healthsync.db "SELECT strftime('%Y-W%W', start_date) as week, ROUND(AVG(value),1) as avg_rhr FROM resting_heart_rate GROUP BY week ORDER BY week DESC LIMIT 12"
```

### `healthsync parse <file>`
Parse an Apple Health export into the database. (Informational — do not run unless the user asks.)

| `--db` | Override database path | `~/.healthsync/healthsync.db` |
### `healthsync server`
Start HTTP server for receiving uploads. (Informational — do not start unless the user asks.)
**Endpoints:**
- `POST /api/upload` — Upload `.zip` or `.xml` (multipart form, field: `file`). Returns 202, parses async.
- `GET /api/upload/status` — Poll parse progress.
- `GET /api/health/{table}?from=&to=&limit=` — Query data as JSON.
## Database Schema
### Standard quantity tables
Schema: `id, source_name, start_date, end_date, value REAL, unit TEXT, created_at`
Applies to all tables except `blood_pressure`, `sleep`, `mindful_sessions`, `stand_hours`, and `workouts`.
```sql
CREATE TABLE resting_heart_rate (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
source_name TEXT NOT NULL,
start_date TEXT NOT NULL,
end_date TEXT NOT NULL,
value REAL NOT NULL,
unit TEXT NOT NULL,
created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
UNIQUE(source_name, start_date, end_date, value)
);
```
### blood_pressure (special — paired systolic + diastolic)
```sql
CREATE TABLE blood_pressure (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
source_name TEXT NOT NULL,
start_date TEXT NOT NULL,
end_date TEXT NOT NULL,
systolic REAL NOT NULL, -- mmHg
diastolic REAL NOT NULL, -- mmHg
unit TEXT NOT NULL, -- "mmHg"
created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
UNIQUE(source_name, start_date, end_date, systolic, diastolic)
);
```
### Category tables — no unit column
Applies to: `sleep`, `mindful_sessions`, `stand_hours`
```sql
CREATE TABLE sleep (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
source_name TEXT NOT NULL,
start_date TEXT NOT NULL,
end_date TEXT NOT NULL,
value TEXT NOT NULL, -- e.g. HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAsleepCore
created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
UNIQUE(source_name, start_date, end_date, value)
);
```
### workouts
```sql
CREATE TABLE workouts (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
activity_type TEXT NOT NULL,
source_name TEXT NOT NULL,
start_date TEXT NOT NULL,
end_date TEXT NOT NULL,
duration REAL,
duration_unit TEXT,
total_distance REAL,
total_distance_unit TEXT,
total_energy_burned REAL,
total_energy_burned_unit TEXT,
created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
UNIQUE(activity_type, start_date, end_date, source_name)
);
```
### Date Format
All dates stored as text: `2024-01-15 08:30:00 +0530`. Filter with date prefix — `2024-01-01` works via SQLite string comparison.
### Sleep Stage Values
| Value | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisInBed` | In bed |
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAsleepCore` | Core sleep |
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAsleepDeep` | Deep sleep |
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAsleepREM` | REM sleep |
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAwake` | Awake |
| `HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysisAsleepUnspecified` | Unspecified |
## Common Query Patterns
### Daily step totals (deduped)
```bash
healthsync query steps --total --from 2024-01-01
```
### Daily active energy totals (deduped)
```bash
healthsync query active-energy --total --from 2024-01-01
```
### Average resting heart rate per week
```sql
SELECT strftime('%Y-W%W', start_date) as week,
ROUND(AVG(value), 1) as avg_rhr
FROM resting_heart_rate
GROUP BY week ORDER BY week DESC LIMIT 12;
```
### HRV trend
```sql
SELECT date(start_date) as day, ROUND(AVG(value), 1) as hrv_ms
FROM hrv
GROUP BY day ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 30;
```
### Blood pressure history
```sql
SELECT date(start_date) as day,
ROUND(AVG(systolic), 1) as avg_sys,
ROUND(AVG(diastolic), 1) as avg_dia
FROM blood_pressure
GROUP BY day ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 30;
```
### Body weight trend
```sql
SELECT date(start_date) as day, value as kg
FROM body_mass
ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 30;
```
### Sleep duration per night
```sql
SELECT date(start_date) as night,
ROUND(SUM((julianday(end_date) - julianday(start_date)) * 24), 1) as hours
FROM sleep
WHERE value LIKE '%Asleep%'
GROUP BY night ORDER BY night DESC LIMIT 14;
```
### Average heart rate per day
```sql
SELECT date(start_date) as day,
ROUND(AVG(value), 1) as avg_hr,
MIN(value) as min_hr,
MAX(value) as max_hr
FROM heart_rate
GROUP BY day ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 30;
```
### Workout summary
```sql
SELECT activity_type, COUNT(*) as count,
ROUND(AVG(duration), 1) as avg_min,
ROUND(SUM(total_energy_burned)) as total_kcal
FROM workouts
GROUP BY activity_type ORDER BY count DESC;
```
### Weekly VO2 Max trend
```sql
SELECT strftime('%Y-W%W', start_date) as week,
ROUND(AVG(value), 2) as avg_vo2
FROM vo2_max
GROUP BY week ORDER BY week DESC LIMIT 12;
```
### Mindfulness minutes per week
```sql
SELECT strftime('%Y-W%W', start_date) as week,
ROUND(SUM((julianday(end_date) - julianday(start_date)) * 1440), 0) as minutes
FROM mindful_sessions
GROUP BY week ORDER BY week DESC LIMIT 12;
```
## Limitations
- **Read-only** — This skill must never write to the database
- **No real-time data** — Data is only as fresh as the last `healthsync parse` run
- **Date filtering is string-based** — Timezone offsets are part of the stored date string
- **SpO2 values are fractions** — 0.98 means 98%, not 98
- **Blood pressure is paired** — systolic and diastolic are stored together in one row per measurement
- **Category tables have no unit column** — `sleep`, `mindful_sessions`, `stand_hours` store text values, not numeric
