fitbit-dump
reclaiming my own heartbeat from a company that rents it back to me
Fitbit has my sleep, my heart rate, my steps, my resting variability. They let me see it through an app. They do not really let me have it.
fitbit-dump is a small Python CLI that uses the official API to pull the raw JSON — all of it, incrementally — and drop it on my disk where it belongs. The original repo had accumulated too much: a phone companion, a Wear OS app, an HTML report with charts, phase tracking. For the open-source release I’m cutting it down to the bone: setup, sync, discover, status, reset, logout. Six commands. No dashboard. No analytics. Just the dump.
Strip the secrets, remove the personal data, write a real README, ship it. Someone else is going to want the same escape hatch.
