No cloud API; data stays in HealthKit on your iPhone, readable by apps you authorise. The Health app can export all health data as an archive.
📦 Export
- Health app → profile picture → Export All Health Data creates export.zip.
- Inside: export.xml (every HealthKit record with type, value, unit and timestamps), export_cda.xml (HL7 CDA), plus workout routes as GPX.
- It is a manual, phone-only export with no scheduling. The files can be multiple GB.
