Easily record commonly used data in Apple Health. Track your water consumption, caffeine intake, vitamin usage, weight or any other data HealthKit supports. Directly from your Watch or iPhone. Securely stored in Apple Health.
Iβm excited to introduce Health Shortcuts; an app to easily record commonly used data in Apple Health. I built Health Shortcuts for two reasons: 1) to scratch my own itch but more importantly 2) I've been an iOS developer since before the first SDK but never had an app of my own in the App Store.
You can add two shortcuts for free. Adding more shortcuts or scheduling reminders requires a subscription.
Curious about your feedback!
@klaaspieter - congrats on the launch! Great idea - would be cool to integrate sleep data as well. Did you make this using Swift? How difficult was making watch app compared to iPhone app?
@the_han_kim thank you. Itβs all Swift and SwiftUI. I actually started with the Watch app
and ended up adding a iPhone app because editing isnβt supported on the Watch.
How do you see sleep data as part of Health Shortcuts?
Hey @klaaspieter I really like the option to enter vitaminD or other vitamin consumption. Reminders are super helpful as well ππ»
Congrats on the launch π
Nice work Klaas, Apple Health needed the extra features and it's great to see you've added it on for users in a straightforward way. Best of luck with the process.
It is already happening in watch how it helping now ?

Great to see @klaaspieter launching Health Shortcuts! Itβs essential to have an easy way to manage data in Apple Health. The focus on frequently used metrics like hydration and caffeine intake makes this super practical. Love the idea of using shortcuts for quick logging! Excited to see how it evolves and hope it gains traction in the community. Any plans for future updates or features? π
@dance17219 Thank you! I have a few ideas floating around. I'm annoyed with the reliability of syncing between the Watch and iPhone because it's all standard Apple tech. I've been thinking about replacing it with a way where I have more control. The reason I haven't yet is because it's a lot of work for minor gains. I've found myself mostly using the app from 1 particular device so for me personally the syncing hasn't been important enough yet.
Other things I've thought about is being able to record using Siri and supporting various widgets; either to log quickly or maybe even to get some insights.
This sounds like a convenient tool for keeping track of health data. Can it also sync with other health apps for a more comprehensive overview of my health?
