Cairn reads your health and fitness data from the phone's health store — Apple
Health on iOS, Health Connect on Android — and saves it as plain, open-format
files (Open mHealth / IEEE 1752.1 JSON) in your own Nextcloud. You stay the sole
owner of your data: there is no central server and the developer stores nothing.

Requirements:

  • Android 14 or newer. Cairn reads through Health Connect, which is part of the
    system only from Android 14; on Android 8-13 it is a separate Google app from
    the Play Store, which a Play-less device cannot install — so the app would
    find nothing to read.
  • A Nextcloud of your own is optional: without one, Cairn still reads and shows
    your data, it just keeps the files on the phone.

Features:

  • Reads heart rate, steps, body weight, sleep and workouts — read-only. Cairn
    never writes to your health store.
  • Syncs the files to your own Nextcloud over WebDAV, with optional background
    sync.
  • In-app dashboard with a sleep-stage deep-dive and a BMI computed from your
    latest weight.
  • Available in English and German.

Privacy:

  • No advertising, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party services.
  • Your data lives only on your device and in the Nextcloud you control — never
    in any developer or third-party cloud.
  • HTTPS only. The Nextcloud app password is stored in the operating system's
    secure storage and can be revoked at any time.

Cairn is an aggregator and viewer, not a medical device. It makes no diagnostic
or treatment claims.
