Welcome to OwnPulse¶
OwnPulse is a personal health data platform built around one principle: you own your data. Every measurement, every check-in, every lab result stays on your instance. Nothing leaves without your explicit consent.
What you can do¶
OwnPulse gives you a single place to collect, view, and export your health data from multiple sources:
-
Track health metrics manually -- log daily check-ins for energy, mood, focus, recovery, and libido. Record interventions (medications, supplements, substances), lab results, sleep data, and flexible observations like symptoms, environmental readings, or context tags. Wearables are optional; manual entry is a first-class citizen.
-
Sync from Apple Health -- connect your iPhone or iPad and let OwnPulse pull in data from Apple Health automatically. Sync is bidirectional: manual entries in OwnPulse write back to HealthKit so your data stays consistent across apps.
-
Connect integrations -- link third-party data sources. When multiple sources report the same metric, you choose which one is authoritative.
-
Export everything -- download your complete dataset as JSON or CSV at any time. Exports follow the OwnPulse Open Schema (CC0 licensed), so your data is portable and never locked in.
Data sovereignty¶
Your OwnPulse instance is yours. Data is stored on infrastructure you control. There is no central analytics server, no telemetry, and no third-party tracking. If you choose to participate in cooperative data sharing in the future, that will require separate, explicit, revocable consent for each dataset.
