Observatory Hosted ยท Pre-order

Observatory, without running a server.

A private HealthSave Observatory, kept updated and backed up for you. It is the same software people self-host for free: your whole Apple Health history in one database, a web dashboard, and findings against your own baseline.

The pre-order rules

  • No instance until 15 pre-ordersWe create instances only after 15 people have pre-ordered. Hosted doesn't exist yet; your pre-order is what decides whether we build it.
  • Full refund until your instance existsAsk any time before we create your instance and Paddle refunds the whole $190. No questions.
  • If 15 never arrive, everyone gets their money backWe decide within 45 days of opening pre-orders and write to every buyer either way.
  • Founding price: $190 for the first yearPaddle charges it today. After that, Hosted is $19 a month or $190 a year. Your first year counts from the day your instance exists: we move your renewal date to match.

Two ways to run it, one price

You pick on the pre-order. Both cost the same, and you can switch later.

Run by HealthSave in the EUIn your own cloud account
Where it runsA private instance on servers we rent in the EUYour own account at Hetzner, DigitalOcean or on your own server
Who pays the server billWe do, out of the $19You pay your provider directly; the $19 is for keeping it running
Updates and backupsWe do themWe do them, through maintenance access you grant and can revoke
Who can reach your dataNobody has standing access. We open it only on your support ticket, and the access is logged where you see itThe same rule, and you can also shut us out at your provider

On the EU option, your health data sits on servers we run. That is a separate, opt-in service with its own privacy notice, published before the first instance exists.

Who it's for

People who want Observatory but won't run a server. Four cases come up most.

  • You track a condition with a deviceA CGM, a CPAP machine, a blood pressure cuff. Before an appointment, Observatory prepares the document: your readings, your device data and your own questions, side by side, with the gaps in the record shown as gaps.
  • You set it up for a parent or family memberThey keep their phone; the history lands in an instance they own. The dashboard shows how this week compares with their own usual weeks, plus the history, the gaps and the questions to bring.
  • You want private AI on your own data, outside the USPoint your own AI at your record: Claude, ChatGPT or a local model, through a private MCP connection (planned for Observatory 1.2). The statistics engine computes every finding; the language model only puts them into words, and never diagnoses.
  • You just don't want to run a serverEverything Community does, without Docker, updates or backups on your side.

How your data is kept

Hosted runs the same statistics on your data as a self-hosted Observatory, so the server has to read it. These are the protections it launches with.

  • One instance per customerYour own database, credentials, network and encrypted volume. Nothing is shared between customers.
  • Encrypted at restThe disk, and the daily backups we keep for 30 days.
  • No standing accessNobody at HealthSave can open your instance by default. We open it only when you ask in a support ticket.
  • Every access logged where you see itEach time we open your instance, an entry lands in a log inside your own Observatory. Built with Hosted
  • Leave any time, with everythinghealthsave backup gives you one file that restores on any free Community install. Your history moves with you.
  • AI stays opt-inRaw readings never go to a cloud model. Derived findings go only if you turn that on, redacted first. The same gate as self-hosted.

Hosted isn't running yet, so these are commitments, not features you can inspect today. The self-hosted security model they build on is on the Observatory security page.

Pre-order Observatory Hosted

Where should it run?
Who is it for? Optional

Your answers go to Paddle with the order, and we read them to decide what to build first. The second question is optional.

$190 first year, founding price

Billed by Paddle, our merchant of record, who shows any tax before you pay. Read the terms of sale, the refund policy and the privacy policy.

Questions, answered straight.

Is Hosted different software from the free Observatory?
No. It is the same HealthSave Observatory, source-available under the Elastic License 2.0. You can read every line it runs.
Does the HealthSave app change?
No. You connect it to your Hosted instance the same way people connect a self-hosted one: scan a pairing code, or type the address and key.
Can you read my data?
On the EU option, the instance runs on servers we rent, so our systems hold your data. Nobody has standing access, we open it only on your ticket, and every access is logged where you see it. In your own cloud account, you can also revoke our access at your provider.
Can I move to self-hosting later?
Yes. Make a backup file and restore it on any free Community install. Nothing is locked in.
Is this a medical service?
No. Observatory shows your own values and trends. It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose or treat anything.
What happens to my $190 if Hosted never launches?
Paddle refunds all of it. If 15 pre-orders don't arrive, every buyer gets a full refund.
