HealthPort is still in development. These are the questions it already raises, and how to reach me.

Anything about using the app, or an export that did not come out right.
Privacy & your data
Questions about the policy, Google Drive access, or your own data.
Health data is the most sensitive thing on a phone, so if something looks wrong in an export, please describe it rather than sending me the file. I do not need your data to help, and I would rather not receive it.
Questions
Frequently asked.
Does my health data go to you?
No. HealthPort reads Apple Health on your iPhone, builds the file on your iPhone, and writes it to the destination you picked. TidyByte operates no server, so there is nowhere for it to arrive even in principle, and the app contains no analytics.
What can it export?
38 metrics across activity, heart, sleep, mobility, body measurements, respiratory, vitals, hearing and nutrition — plus individual workouts if you turn them on. Anything you switch off is never requested from Apple Health at all.
What formats, and how are days grouped?
JSON, CSV or GPX, summarised hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. Days follow your device’s own calendar and time zone, and a night that straddles midnight stays one night rather than splitting across two days.
Where do the files go?
The Files app on your device, your iCloud Drive, or your own Google Drive — you choose, per run. Once a file reaches its destination it is yours, governed by whatever terms apply there.
What does connecting Google Drive give the app?
The narrowest access Google offers: it can see and manage only the files it creates itself, and cannot read anything else in your Drive. You sign in to Google directly, so the app never sees your password, and you can disconnect in Settings or revoke it from your Google Account at any time.
Can it run on its own?
Yes. Leave it off, let it run when new health data arrives, or schedule it for a time of day. Scheduled runs use the defaults from Settings, so trying something once on the Export tab never changes what happens overnight.
Why do its numbers differ from another app’s?
Where several devices record the same measurement, Apple Health resolves the overlap, and different apps make different choices about which source wins. Steps and walking distance are the usual culprits, and flights climbed differs because a watch derives it from elevation while an iPhone counts storeys. Treat exported values as indicative.
When can I get it?
It is in development and not on the App Store yet. There is no pre-order to sign up for, so there is nothing you need to do to be ready.
