Step-by-step (Samsung Health app)
- Open the Samsung Health app on your Galaxy phone.
- Tap the hamburger menu (≡) → Settings.
- Scroll to Personal data → Download personal data.
- Choose the date range — minimum 30 days for a useful trend.
- Tap Download. The app prepares a
.zipin your phone'sDocuments/Samsung Healthfolder. - Transfer the
.zipto your computer (USB, Quick Share, or upload to Drive then download).
What's in the file?
Dozens of CSVs inside the .zip. The most useful for Whale DNA:com.samsung.shealth.sleep_*.csv (sleep stages),com.samsung.shealth.heart_rate.csv (HR samples),com.samsung.health.exercise.csv (workouts),com.samsung.shealth.stress.csv (continuous stress scores). Upload the whole .zip — we pick what's needed.
Heads-up
- Samsung's HRV is only logged during sleep — make sure you wear the watch overnight for meaningful data.
- If you have a Galaxy Watch 4 or newer, BIA body composition is included; we currently don't use it but it's stored in the same zip.
- Some columns use Korean labels even in English-locale exports — our parser tolerates this.
Privacy reminder
Standard posture: in-memory, EU servers, deleted within 24 hours. Samsung Cloud retains your data on Samsung's infrastructure — that's separate from us.
