Use when a user wants OpenClaw to analyze Apple Health data either from the Health Data AI Analyzer Mac app or from an Apple Health or HealthKit export.xml with the open-source applehealth repo, verify setup, generate a daily brief, compare recent step and sleep trends, produce a weekly summary, or set up a recurring daily health message.

Apple Health Export Analyzer

This skill gives OpenClaw two ways to read Apple Health data:

  • preferred: use the Health Data AI Analyzer Mac app if its local API is running
  • fallback: use the open-source applehealth repo with an export.xml

For Mac app mode in restricted OpenClaw sessions, install the companion plugin from the krumjahn/applehealth repo once:

git clone https://github.com/krumjahn/applehealth.git
cd applehealth
python skills/apple-health-export-analyzer/scripts/install_mac_app_companion.py --restart

That installs:

  • the health-analyzer-local OpenClaw plugin
  • the health-analyzer-mac-local companion skill for deterministic localhost access

Use it when the user wants one of these outcomes:

  • verify the local setup
  • generate a daily brief from recent Apple Health data
  • compare steps and sleep over the last 7 days
  • produce a weekly summary with workouts and heart rate context
  • set up a recurring daily health message with OpenClaw heartbeat or automation

Quick workflow

  1. First try --source auto.
  2. If the Mac app local API is reachable, use that.
  3. Otherwise use the applehealth repo plus export.xml.
  4. Verify setup with scripts/check_setup.py.
  5. For a daily brief, use scripts/daily_brief.py.
  6. For a 7-day comparison, use scripts/compare_recent_trends.py.
  7. For a weekly summary, use scripts/weekly_summary.py.

If the repo is not in the current workspace, ask the user to clone:

git clone https://github.com/krumjahn/applehealth.git

If needed, read:

Sources

Option 1: Health Data AI Analyzer Mac app

  • local API running on the Mac
  • app has a saved integration dataset
  • no export.xml needed
  • for TUI sessions without local file/shell tools, clone https://github.com/krumjahn/applehealth, install the companion plugin, and then use health-analyzer-mac-local
  • the public skill uses read-only /openclaw/* localhost endpoints for this mode and does not read local token files

Option 2: applehealth repo

  • a cloned applehealth repo
  • an Apple Health export.xml

Optional:

  • APPLEHEALTH_REPO environment variable pointing to the repo root
  • --repo, --export, and --out flags for the bundled scripts
  • --source auto|mac-app|export

Core commands

Verify setup

python skills/apple-health-export-analyzer/scripts/check_setup.py --source auto --repo /path/to/applehealth --export /path/to/export.xml --out /path/to/analysis

Daily brief

python skills/apple-health-export-analyzer/scripts/daily_brief.py --source auto --repo /path/to/applehealth --export /path/to/export.xml --out /path/to/analysis --date 2026-03-19

Compare recent trends

python skills/apple-health-export-analyzer/scripts/compare_recent_trends.py --source auto --repo /path/to/applehealth --export /path/to/export.xml --out /path/to/analysis --days 7

Weekly summary

python skills/apple-health-export-analyzer/scripts/weekly_summary.py --source auto --repo /path/to/applehealth --export /path/to/export.xml --out /path/to/analysis --days 7

Response style

When the scripts return JSON:

  • summarize it into a concise health brief
  • call out missing data explicitly
  • give practical suggestions, not medical advice
  • do not invent metrics that are absent

For daily brief responses, prefer this structure:

  • Status
  • What changed
  • 3 suggestions
  • Missing data

Example output

Status
- Activity was below your recent baseline.

What changed
- Steps: 2,444 vs 7-day baseline 10,005
- Workouts: 0 minutes, 0 workouts
- Sleep: insufficient data

Suggestions
1. Add one easy walk instead of trying to catch up with a hard workout.
2. Use one fixed movement anchor like a walk after lunch.
3. Keep effort moderate when recovery data is missing.
