Share & archive

Export your Apple Health data as a PDF.

Every weekly and monthly report can be exported as a PDF, with a clean printable layout. Useful for personal archive or for sharing with a coach. Not a medical document.

What is in the PDF

The PDF is a faithful render of the report you see in the app, formatted for letter and A4 paper, with justified body text and a header that summarizes the period and the score. It includes:

  • The report narrative (200 to 350 words for weekly, 400 to 600 for monthly).
  • The Wellness Score and its label, in a text-based block at the top (no ring graphic, since print does not need it).
  • For monthly reports, the deterministic month-over-month comparison table (HRV, RHR, sleep, workouts, calories), with a headline and a single insight line.
  • The standard wellness-only disclaimer at the bottom.

What is not in the PDF: the interactive glossary popovers, weekly Week Strip cards, or the calendar view. Those are app features that do not translate to a static page.

Why a PDF

People export reports for three reasons. None of them are medical:

  • Archive. Keep a personal record outside the app. If you reinstall, the PDF is what you have.
  • Coach review. Send a weekly report to a strength or endurance coach for context, the way an athlete might share a TrainingPeaks summary.
  • Conversation starter with a healthcare professional. Not as a clinical document, but as a way to point at a pattern you have noticed. The disclaimer in the PDF is explicit about this.

How to export

Inside the app, open any report, tap the share icon, and choose Save to Files or Print, which produces a PDF on iOS. Standard iOS share sheet, no proprietary export format.

The PDF is generated locally on your device. It does not pass through the proxy, because the app already has everything it needs to render it locally.

Wellness, not medical. The PDF is not a clinical report. It does not diagnose anything, it does not include lab values, and it should not be the basis of any treatment decision. It is a written summary of trends that the AI noticed in your data, with the same wellness language used in the app.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PDF medical-grade?

No. It is a wellness summary using language like trends, patterns, observations. It does not diagnose anything. Apple Health data is not validated as a medical device output, and VitalBrief does not pretend otherwise.

Can I print it?

Yes. The PDF is formatted for letter and A4 paper, with justified body text and consistent margins. Pagination is handled by the renderer so headings do not split awkwardly.

Does the PDF include personal information?

It includes the profile context you entered (age range, height, biological sex, sport preferences) and any optional "About You" text you typed yourself. There is no name, email, or device identifier in the PDF, because the app does not have those.

Where is the PDF stored?

On your device, wherever you save it through the iOS share sheet. The PDF generation happens locally, without going through the proxy.

Can I export multiple reports at once?

Not in a single batch operation right now. Each report is exported individually from its own view. This is on the list to revisit after launch.
