Oura Ring Data Export
How to Export Oura Ring Data to CSV
Get your Oura sleep, HRV, and readiness scores out of the app and into analysis-ready CSV — then unify everything with Apple Health for the complete picture.
Export Oura data → sync to Apple Health → analyse everything together.
Method 1: Export Directly from the Oura App
The Oura app lets you download a full CSV export of all your data — sleep stages, HRV (rMSSD), readiness, activity, and more.
- Open the Oura app on your iPhone.
- Tap your profile icon (top left).
- Go to Settings → Data Export.
- Tap Download CSV — Oura emails you a download link within minutes.
- Unzip the file — you'll find separate CSVs for sleep, readiness, activity, and heart rate.
Method 2: Sync Oura to Apple Health (Recommended)
Oura syncs natively with Apple Health, pushing sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate, and activity data into the unified HealthKit database. This lets you combine Oura data with Apple Watch, iPhone sensors, and other app data in one place.
- Open the Oura app and go to Settings → Apps → Apple Health.
- Enable sync for: Sleep Analysis, Heart Rate Variability, Resting Heart Rate, Active Energy, Steps.
- Open Apple Health → Sources → Oura to confirm data is flowing in.
- Use our Health Data Export app to pull all of it into a single clean CSV for AI analysis.
