Short answers to the real questions people ask before installing HealthSave — free vs Pro, privacy, devices, and what it can and can't do. HealthSave is a free iOS app that exports your Apple Health data to CSV, JSON, or PDF. Below, the honest specifics, scoped carefully so nothing's misleading.
I'm Umut, the developer. These are the questions I actually get by email.
Is HealthSave free?
Yes, to download and for core use. The free tier includes the live dashboard, multi-device view, CSV and JSON export, and 7 days of export history. Pro is a one-time $24.99 purchase (no subscription, Apple Family Sharing included) that unlocks PDF reports, unlimited export history, full 30/90-day trends, background server sync, REST API access, and Home Assistant integration.
What's free vs Pro?
| Feature | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Live dashboard | Yes | Yes |
| CSV / JSON export | Yes | Yes |
| Export history | Last 7 days | Unlimited |
| 30/90-day trend charts | — | Yes |
| PDF reports | — | Yes |
| Background sync to your server | — | Yes |
| REST API access | — | Yes |
| Home Assistant integration | — | Yes |
Do I need an account?
No. HealthSave requires no account or sign-up, ever. You install it, grant read access to Apple Health, and use it.
Is my health data private?
Yes — and here's the precise scoping. The iOS app collects zero data: no analytics, tracking, advertising SDKs, or crash reporting. Everything is processed on your device, and your health data leaves the phone only when you export a file or sync it to a destination you configure. The one honest caveat: the marketing website (healthsave.app) uses Google Analytics cookies (with consent). That's the website, not the app. Full detail: how HealthSave handles your data.
Does HealthSave write to or change my Apple Health data?
No. It is read-only. It reads from Apple Health to show and export your data, and it never writes to, corrects, or deletes your health records.
Does it work with my Whoop / Garmin / Fitbit / Samsung?
Yes, as long as the device syncs to Apple Health. HealthSave reads from Apple Health, so it works with any wearable that syncs there — Apple Watch, Whoop, Samsung, Garmin, Fitbit, Amazfit, Huawei. It reads whatever those devices have written into HealthKit.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. HealthSave is iOS only (iOS 17+) and reads Apple Health; the data must already be in HealthKit. It can't pull Google Fit or Android Health Connect. Android Health Connect support is planned, not shipped. If you're switching to Android, export on your iPhone first — see backing up before switching to Android.
What formats can I export, and which need Pro?
CSV (spreadsheets) and JSON (developers/APIs) are free. A formatted PDF report (the kind a doctor can read) requires Pro. See the full export guide.
Can I share a report with my doctor?
You can export a date-ranged PDF (Pro) and share it however you like — email, AirDrop, print. It's a portable file you hand over, not an integration with your doctor's records system. Details and disclaimers: bring a clean trend to your doctor.
HealthSave is not a medical device. It is for informational purposes only and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
Is the data accurate?
HealthSave shows and exports what your wearable wrote into Apple Health, as-is. It does not validate sensor accuracy — accuracy depends entirely on your device and its sensors.
Do the server sync, REST API, and Home Assistant features need a cloud account?
No — they're self-hosted. Those Pro features sync to a server you run; there is no hosted HealthSave backend. See Apple Health for self-hosters.
