Shortcuts & App Intents

Seven published actions · nine in current source

The two Mac context actions require compatible iPhone and Mac builds. Check the exact release notes.

  • export yesterday, one date, a range, or the last N days;
  • get a health summary or the last export status;
  • turn scheduling on or off;
  • Refresh Mac Health Context (development): request a durable encrypted-context refresh bound to a profile;
  • Get Mac Context Refresh Status (development): read its status and job ID.

The four export actions accept an optional Profile. An unknown name fails without fallback. Ordinary Shortcuts write to the iPhone folder and do not silently switch to API Endpoint or Connected Mac.

Allowing locked execution does not unlock HealthKit. Health.md preserves the request and shows Health Export Needs Attention.

  1. Create a time automation.
  2. Add Export Yesterday’s Health Data.
  3. Add Get Last Export Status and a notification.

Yesterday includes sleep whose night began yesterday. See Sleep dates.
