HEALTHAI / ONE DATASET, THREE PERSPECTIVES

Free Apple Health Dashboard Templates

Turn your Apple Health export into a private, offline dashboard for steps, sleep, resting heart rate, HRV, and workouts. Explore three visual perspectives, plus Field Notes, then create your own with the free, open-source healthai CLI.

All previews use the same 90 days of fictional sample data, with October 2026 as the monthly overview.

Compare the Apple Health dashboard templates

Every template uses the same data and calculations. Choose a layout, then switch views inside your generated HTML file without importing your export again.

Four layouts for the same Apple Health export
TemplateUseful forWhat you see
Monthly ReportA compact monthly reviewDaily charts, sleep distribution, a workout calendar, and coverage summaries.
Monthly RecapA month at a glanceLarge headline numbers, small trend charts, and a warm portrait layout.
ObservatoryInspecting daily patterns and gapsDark chart panels, a daily signal map, workout volume, and per-metric coverage.
Field NotesA quieter journal-style reviewAn editorial layout with monthly summaries, daily charts, and calculation notes.

Supported metrics

Daily steps, time asleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV, SDNN), and workout minutes. The charts offer 7-, 30-, and 90-day views; monthly summaries compare the same elapsed days of the previous month, capped at its end.

Coverage and missing days

All four layouts show recorded and missing days beside their charts. Averages use recorded days; missing measurements stay as gaps. Daily-metric changes require at least 7 recorded days and 80% coverage in both comparison periods. This is a display rule, not statistical confidence. A recorded day may still be incomplete.

Workout totals count recorded events. A day without a workout does not establish missing data or a rest day.

Privacy across every template

Dashboard generation runs locally without uploads, an account, or an AI API key. The output is one offline HTML file. It contains health summaries and source names, so anyone you share it with can read them. The public examples on this page use fictional data.

FROM EXPORT TO DASHBOARD

How to create your own Apple Health dashboard

Use Apple’s built-in export and the free, open-source healthai CLI. Dashboard generation does not require the paid app or an AI subscription.

  1. Export your Apple Health data

    On your iPhone, open Health → Summary → your profile → Export All Health Data. Transfer the resulting export.zip to your computer. The CLI accepts that ZIP, an export.xml file, or an export directory. See our Apple Health export guide or Apple’s export instructions for more detail.

  2. Install the dashboard CLI

    These commands are for macOS or Linux with Python 3.9 or newer. They create an isolated environment and install the dashboard release. Installation downloads the package and its dependencies.

    python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install https://github.com/krumjahn/applehealth/releases/download/v1.12.1/healthai-1.12.1-py3-none-any.whl

    On Windows, create the environment with py -m venv .venv, then use .venv\Scripts\python.exe and .venv\Scripts\healthai.exe in place of the commands above and below. Full CLI instructions and source code ↗

  3. Generate and open your dashboard

    Start with the fictional demo, then point the command at your own export. This example chooses the black Observatory template.

    # Try it with fictional data
.venv/bin/healthai dashboard --demo --template observatory --out demo.html --open

# Create your own dashboard; adjust the export path
.venv/bin/healthai dashboard ~/Downloads/export.zip --template observatory --out my-health.html --open

    Use --template report, --template recap, or --template field-notes to choose another starting layout. You can also switch templates inside the file and use Print / Save PDF in your browser.

    By default, the report uses the latest supported month in the export. Add --month 2026-10 to select a month. Generate a new file from a newer export to refresh your data; choose a new output filename each time.

BEFORE YOU START

Local and self-hosted dashboards: what to expect

Can I self-host an Apple Health dashboard?

Yes. The generated report is a standalone HTML file you can serve from your own web server or static host. You can also open it directly on your computer without running a server. If you host personal health data, use access controls or publish only information you intend to make public.

Does it sync with Apple Health automatically?

No. Each dashboard is a snapshot of an export, not a live connection to your iPhone. Export again and regenerate the HTML when you want an updated report.

Why is a metric or monthly comparison missing?

Your export may not contain that metric for the selected period. A comparison is also withheld when daily coverage is too sparse or the prior value is zero. Check the dates, recorded-day counts, and calculation notes in the report before interpreting a change.

Does this diagnose health conditions or calculate a recovery score?

No. These dashboards visualize recorded measurements and their coverage. HRV is reported as mean daily SDNN, not a proprietary recovery score. The charts do not establish that a habit caused a change.
