Quick answer
Forma is built for people who want a better Apple Health export
Forma is an iPhone app that lets you export Apple Health data to CSV, Excel, or JSON for free. It is built for people who want a cleaner, more usable export than Apple’s default XML export, while keeping their data private and saved to a folder they choose.
Premium adds AI coaching, insights, and deeper analysis, but the free export is the core reason to download.
Core value
Apple gives you XML. Forma gives you usable files.
If you have ever tried exporting health data from Apple Health, you already know the problem: the default export is not built for normal people. Forma focuses on the one thing most users actually want: a clean export they can open, inspect, share, or work with immediately.
With Forma, free users can export supported Apple Health data as CSV, Excel, or JSON directly from their iPhone. No account setup. No forced cloud dashboard. No making export the premium upsell.
Format comparison
Apple Health export is usually treated as a technical archive. Forma is designed around the actual export workflow.
| Topic | Apple Health export | Forma |
|---|---|---|
| Output | XML | CSV, Excel, JSON |
| Usability | Technical and hard to work with | Ready for spreadsheets and structured use |
| Workflow | Generic share flow | Export-focused experience |
| Destination | Generic export/share path | Saved to the folder you choose |
| Analysis | None | Premium insights and AI coach |
How it works
A straightforward Apple Health export workflow
Connect Apple Health, choose your folder, pick CSV, Excel, or JSON, and export supported recent data in a tap.
Choose your export folder
Pick the folder where you want your export saved. Forma writes files to the location you choose, so you stay in control of where your data goes.
Pick CSV, Excel, or JSON
Select the format that matches your workflow. CSV works for quick spreadsheet analysis, Excel gives you a structured workbook, and JSON suits developer-friendly use.
Export in a tap
Run the export manually for free whenever you need it. Premium users can also enable automatic midnight export for a hands-off routine.

Grant secure access to your health data
Forma connects to Apple Health only after you approve access, keeping the export workflow private, intentional, and fully permission-based.
Choose the folder and format that fits your workflow
Set your destination, choose CSV, Excel, or JSON, and run a manual export whenever you need a clean file from recent Apple Health data.
Review your recent metrics at a glance
Premium adds a focused dashboard for weekly trends, headline metrics, and quick summaries built around the health data you have already exported and reviewed.
Upgrade for tailored coaching and analysis
For users who want interpretation as well as export, Forma Premium adds contextual guidance, practical insights, and suggested prompts based on recent health patterns.

Who it is for
Built for people who want their Apple Health data out
Forma is for people who do not want their health data trapped inside an app interface. Some want a spreadsheet. Some want structured files. Some want private local export first and AI guidance second.
CSV users
Move Apple Health data into spreadsheets
Useful for people who want Apple Health data in CSV instead of XML and need something they can inspect in Excel or Numbers straight away.
Developers
Generate JSON for custom workflows
Structured JSON output makes it easier to pull recent health data into custom scripts, personal dashboards, or analysis pipelines.
Privacy-minded users
Keep the export local and intentional
Choose where files are saved, avoid forced accounts, and keep the export workflow anchored on your iPhone and storage destination.
Privacy angle
Private by design
Forma reads from Apple Health only after you grant permission. It does not require an account to use the export feature. Exported files go to the folder you choose.
That matters because health export is a trust decision. The page keeps that trust point explicit: health data access is permission-based, export is local-first, and premium AI features are an add-on rather than a default requirement.
Trust points
- No account required for export
- You choose where files are saved
- Built on Apple Health permissions
- Premium AI features are optional
