Manage your health data locally on your Mac mini
A new update for this local-first tool lets you save your fitness tracker data directly to your own computer. You can view your records offline and keep your personal information private.
The latest version of NOOP is a tool for people who use WHOOP fitness straps but want to control their own data. Instead of sending everything to a company's cloud, this local-first software stores your health history on your Mac. It works entirely offline, meaning you don't need an internet connection to see your progress. For those running a Mac mini as a home server, this is a great way to build a private health dashboard. The source-available project is open for anyone to see how it works and use it for free.
Key points
- Stores fitness strap data on your local Mac mini server
