In short

Life Dashboard Companion reads health data you select from the iPhone Health app and sends it to a server you run, such as Home Assistant, an MQTT broker, or a webhook. It is aimed at people who self-host their own dashboards and want their data kept off third-party servers. It stands out for sending nothing to the developer, with no account, analytics, or ads.

About

Life Dashboard Companion reads the health data you choose from the Health app on your iPhone and sends it to a server you run yourself: Home Assistant, an MQTT broker, or any webhook that accepts a JSON POST. Nothing goes to the developer or to anyone else.

HOME ASSISTANT Install the free Life Dashboard integration from HACS, scan its QR code, and your steps, sleep, heart rate, weight and workouts show up as sensors. A backfill fills up to a year of history in Home Assistant's long-term statistics, each day on its own date.

YOUR OWN SERVER Send to any webhook that accepts a JSON POST: n8n, Node-RED, a script of your own, or the self-hosted Life Dashboard stack with Grafana dashboards. Every request can be signed with HMAC-SHA256, so your server knows it came from your phone. Over MQTT, sensors set themselves up through Home Assistant's discovery.

WHAT IT SENDS - 28 data types, each off until you switch it on: steps, distance, calories, sleep with stages, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, weight and body composition, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, VO2 max, workouts, nutrition, mindful minutes, cycle tracking and more - Every record with the app or device that wrote it, plus clean daily totals from the Health app's own statistics, so a walk recorded by both your iPhone and your watch counts once - Deleted records, so your server can remove them too

HOW IT RUNS - In the background, on an interval or at times you pick, with quiet hours - A Shortcuts action, Sync Health Data, for an exact time - A widget and a Control Center button - A log of every delivery, and a preview of the exact JSON before it goes out

PRIVACY No account. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. The app reads from Health and never writes to it. Your data goes only to the addresses you enter, straight from your phone. Secrets are kept in the Keychain. The app is open source under the MIT license.
