Get Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, and Sleep from Apple Health and Google Fit Screenshots
Manually copying vitals from your phone screen into a health log takes 2 minutes per screenshot — this pulls all four fields in 5 seconds.

What You Can Pull from Apple Health and Google Fit Screenshots
With Custom Column Extraction, you type the field names — Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Duration — and the AI locates each value on the screenshot regardless of which app it came from.
Apple Health shows it as a bold number inside an activity ring card. Google Fit places it at the top of the timeline. The AI identifies both by the step icon and label.
Apple Health embeds it in a modular card with a heart icon and "bpm" unit. Google Fit shows it as a timeline entry. The AI reads the label—value—unit triplet to locate it.
Apple Health displays it as a percentage in a vitals card. Google Fit shows it under "Vitals" with a SpO2 label. The model recognises the percentage format and the oxygen context.
Apple Health aggregates sleep into a horizontal bar with a text label. Google Fit may show it as a total hours figure. The AI reads the duration value alongside the sleep label.
Same Vitals, Two Completely Different App Layouts
Apple Health uses a card-based modular layout — each metric lives in its own coloured tile. Google Fit uses a single-scroll timeline. Traditional OCR fails because it reads by position, not semantics. Custom Column Extraction reads each field by what it means, so the layout does not matter.
Why Position-Based Tools Struggle with Health App Screenshots
Apple Health uses a card layout with mixed metric types. Steps appear inside a ring card, heart rate next to a pulsing icon, blood oxygen in a separate tile. Each metric sits in a different visual zone. Template-based tools need a separate configuration for each.
Google Fit uses a single-scroll timeline with no card boundaries. Every data point — steps, heart rate, sleep — appears as a chronological entry in one long list. Traditional OCR cannot distinguish which entry is "the current one" without semantic understanding.
Official health data exports are not practical for quick extraction. Apple Health's XML export "takes about 70 seconds" and produces "more than four million rows" per one developer's analysis — and requires device access. Google Takeout for Fit data can take "days or even weeks." Neither works for a screenshot someone else sent you.
How Semantic Extraction Reads Both Apps with One Column Set
Name the columns — the AI finds values by meaning, not coordinates. Define "Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Duration." On Apple Health, the AI reads Steps from the ring card, Heart Rate from the vitals tile, and Blood Oxygen from the next module. On Google Fit, it identifies the same fields from the timeline entries — because it looks for the label (e.g., "bpm," "SpO2," "hrs") and relationship, not the screen position.
One batch processes both platforms together. Upload an Apple Health vitals screenshot and a Google Fit timeline screenshot into the same batch. The AI reads each independently. The output is one spreadsheet — rows from Apple Health with the same column headers as rows from Google Fit. No per-app configuration.
Works from the screenshot — no account access needed. Whether the image is from your own iPhone or a friend's Android device, the AI reads visible data from the image. A caregiver collecting vitals from a relative's phone, a coach tracking a team's stats — no HealthKit or Google Account connection required.
From an Apple Health and a Google Fit Screenshot to One Vitals Log in Three Steps
Upload Both Screenshots in One Batch
You have an Apple Health vitals summary showing your latest steps, heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep duration — and a Google Fit screenshot from a friend's Android phone showing the same metrics in a timeline layout. Drag both into the same upload. JPG, PNG, or WebP, no sorting required.
Name the Columns — Once for Both Apps
Type Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Duration. The AI reads the Apple Health screenshot: Steps from the ring card (8,432), Heart Rate (72 bpm), Blood Oxygen (98%), Sleep Duration (7h 24m). Then it reads the Google Fit screenshot the same way — identifying Steps from the timeline entry, Heart Rate from the bpm entry, and Sleep from the hours entry. One column set, both apps.

Processing takes 5 seconds per screenshot. The output is one XLSX file: each row is one screenshot, each column is one field you named. Row 1: Apple Health vitals with Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, and Sleep Duration filled. Row 2: Google Fit timeline data with the same four columns. No manual transcription, no per-app formatting (~24x faster than typing each value by hand from two different phones).
When It Works Best — and When to Be Cautious
Understanding these boundaries helps you get consistent results from health app screenshots across both platforms.
When It Works Best
Clear, full-resolution screenshots from either app. Machine-rendered vitals achieve up to 99% accuracy on both Apple Health card layouts and Google Fit timeline entries.
Standard label—value pairings common to both apps. Heart Rate is paired with "bpm," Blood Oxygen with "%" or "SpO2," Sleep with hours or "hrs." The AI recognises these patterns regardless of the app's visual theme.
Mixed batch across Apple Health and Google Fit. One column set produces a consolidated spreadsheet from both platforms.
When to Be Cautious
Heavily compressed or forwarded screenshots. Health screenshots shared through messaging apps lose resolution, reducing accuracy on small labels.
Visible data only — no historical aggregation. The tool extracts what is visible on the screenshot. It does not pull historical data from the app's database — that requires a HealthKit or Google Fit API connection.
Visible data only — no clinical interpretation. A value like 72 bpm is extracted accurately, but the AI does not interpret medical significance. Clinical assessment remains your responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Apple Health and Google Fit look completely different — can I use the same column names for both?
Yes. Define columns like Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Duration. The AI reads each screenshot independently. On Apple Health, Steps appears inside a colored ring card; on Google Fit, it appears at the top of a timeline list. The model recognizes both as the same metric by understanding the semantic context — the label, the unit, and the value's relationship to surrounding content.
How does the AI distinguish Heart Rate from other numbers on the screen?
The AI reads the label and unit context around each number. On Apple Health, Heart Rate is paired with a heart icon and "bpm." On Google Fit, it appears in a timeline entry with a small heart icon. The model looks for the relationship between the number, its label, and its unit — a number without a heart-rate label or bpm unit is not reported as Heart Rate.
Can I extract Sleep Duration from Apple Health even though it shows as a horizontal bar, not a number?
Yes. Apple Health displays sleep duration as a visual bar with a text label like "7h 24m in bed" below it. The AI reads the text label rather than interpreting the bar's length. If the screenshot shows only the bar without a textual duration label, accuracy depends on whether the bar's axis labels are readable. For best results, capture a screenshot that includes the summary text below the sleep graph.
Can I extract data from a screenshot someone else sent me — not from my own phone?
Yes. The tool reads whatever is visible in the image. There is no account login, no HealthKit connection, and no device pairing required. If someone forwards you a screenshot of their Apple Health or Google Fit dashboard, you upload it, name your columns, and the AI extracts the visible data the same way it would from your own screenshot. This is the key difference from export-based tools that require physical access to the device.
What if I want to extract Steps from a Google Fit screenshot and Heart Rate from Apple Health — can I batch them together?
Yes. Upload both into one batch, define all four columns — Steps, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Duration. The Apple Health screenshot fills Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, and Sleep Duration; the Google Fit screenshot fills Steps and Heart Rate. Unrelated columns stay empty per row.
