Format Customization
Output formats
Section titled “Output formats”See the production-backed format reference, CSV row contracts, and complete downloadable fixtures.
Date & time
Section titled “Date & time”Pickers for date format (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD, MMM d, yyyy) and time format (12-hour, 24-hour). The preview block at the bottom of the screen updates live as you change settings.
Unit system
Section titled “Unit system”Toggle between Metric and Imperial. Affects distance (m/km vs ft/mi), weight (kg vs lb), temperature (°C vs °F), and a few others. HealthKit always stores in canonical units. Conversion happens at export time.
Frontmatter fields
Section titled “Frontmatter fields”Tapping Frontmatter Fields opens a dedicated editor:
- Toggle individual built-in fields (date, weekday, totalSteps, etc.)
- Rename a field, useful if your Obsidian setup expects different keys
- Add custom fields with static values (e.g.
type: health) - Add placeholder fields that resolve at export time (e.g.
weather: {weather})
Markdown template
Section titled “Markdown template”Tapping Markdown Template opens a template editor with several built-in styles (Compact, Sections, Detailed) plus a fully custom mode. The preview block shows the result for today's data.
Preview
Section titled “Preview”At the bottom of the Format screen, a live preview block renders today's data with your current settings. This is the fastest way to iterate, change a toggle, look at the preview, repeat.
Data Detail and profiles
Section titled “Data Detail and profiles”Summary produces compact daily projections. Detailed Time-Series adds selected timestamped samples and intervals on both Apple and Android where the metric supports them. Lossless Health Records adds the canonical HealthKit archive and is Apple-only. It is not an Android compatibility layer.
Data Detail is frozen with the rest of an export profile. Editing it while a profile is active changes that profile, not every profile on the device.
