So I did something similar (well less cool), but as old Software devs start finding our bodies don’t work as well after a while we will see more and more of this sort of “taking control”

> "It will not connect to Apple Health"

FWIW the latest version of the app does export the previous day's averages to Apple Health (only when you open the app, mind, which can make it look like there's missing data.) I use BPExtract to read the PDF and export every reading to Apple Health but I'll definitely be giving your stuff a go as well (because automation >> manual every time.)

So this when they became a new brand (?) called Hilo.

I am not following their business but presume something is up.

Of course the format change seems to have broken the extractor so the next free lunchtime(s) I get will fix it. I assumed no one else uses it so was not in a hurry - any feedback gratefully recvd :-)

Around the same kind of time, yeah - when the app got a (not great) refresh.

I think someone just realised that "Aktiia" is a godawful name and "Hilo" (with the new actually good logo) is much better.

Will give it a run out tomorrow. Didn't even knew it existed which is to my shame.
