iOS HealthKit data sync CLI commands and patterns.

# HealthKit Sync CLI
Securely sync Apple HealthKit data from iPhone to Mac over local network using mTLS.
## When to Use This Skill
- User asks about syncing health data from iPhone
- User mentions `healthsync` CLI commands
- User wants to fetch steps, heart rate, sleep, or workout data
- User needs to pair a Mac with an iOS device
- User asks about the iOS Health Sync project architecture
- User mentions certificate pinning or mTLS patterns
## CLI Quick Reference
### Pairing Flow (First Time)
```bash
# 1. Discover devices on local network
healthsync discover
# 2. On iOS app: tap "Share" to generate QR code, then "Copy"
# 3. Scan QR from clipboard (Universal Clipboard)
healthsync scan
# Alternative: scan from image file
healthsync scan --file ~/Desktop/qr.png
```
### Fetching Health Data
```bash
# Check connection status
healthsync status
# List enabled data types
healthsync types
# Fetch data as CSV (default)
healthsync fetch --start 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --end 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z --types steps
# Fetch multiple types as JSON
healthsync fetch --start 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --end 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z \
--types steps,heartRate,sleepAnalysis --format json | jq
# Pipe to file
healthsync fetch --start 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --end 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z \
--types steps > steps.csv
```
### Available Health Data Types
**Activity**: steps, distanceWalkingRunning, distanceCycling, activeEnergyBurned, basalEnergyBurned, exerciseTime, standHours, flightsClimbed, workouts
**Heart**: heartRate, restingHeartRate, walkingHeartRateAverage, heartRateVariability
**Vitals**: bloodPressureSystolic, bloodPressureDiastolic, bloodOxygen, respiratoryRate, bodyTemperature, vo2Max
**Sleep**: sleepAnalysis, sleepInBed, sleepAsleep, sleepAwake, sleepREM, sleepCore, sleepDeep
**Body**: weight, height, bodyMassIndex, bodyFatPercentage, leanBodyMass
## Configuration
Config stored at `~/.healthsync/config.json` (permissions: 0600):
```json
{
"host": "192.168.1.x",
"port": 8443,
"fingerprint": "sha256-certificate-fingerprint"
}
```
Token stored in macOS Keychain under service `org.mvneves.healthsync.cli`.
## Security Architecture
### Certificate Pinning
The CLI validates server certificates by SHA256 fingerprint (TOFU model):
1. First pairing stores fingerprint from QR code
2. Subsequent connections verify fingerprint matches
3. Mismatch = connection rejected (MITM protection)
### Local Network Only
Host validation restricts connections to:
- `localhost`, `*.local` domains
- Private IPv4: `192.168.*`, `10.*`, `172.16-31.*`
- IPv6 loopback: `::1`, link-local: `fe80::`
### Keychain Storage
Tokens never stored in config file - always in Keychain with:
- `kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked` protection class
- Service: `org.mvneves.healthsync.cli`
- Account: `token-{host}`

## Troubleshooting
**"No devices found"**:
- Ensure iOS app is running with sharing enabled
- Both devices must be on same Wi-Fi network
- Check firewall isn't blocking mDNS (port 5353)
**"Pairing code expired"**:
- Generate new QR code on iOS app (codes expire in 5 minutes)
**"Certificate mismatch"**:
- Delete `~/.healthsync/config.json` and re-pair
- Server certificate may have been regenerated
**"Connection refused"**:
- iOS app server may not be running
- Run `healthsync status --dry-run` to test without connecting
