Your Oura ring data belongs to you, and getting a full copy out is more useful than most people realise — for your own records, a spreadsheet, or a doctor. Here’s what the official app offers, and how to get a genuinely complete export.
Oura’s app lets you download some of your data, but the built-in export is limited and not always in the most analysis-friendly shape. It’s fine for a basic copy; it’s less useful if you want every metric, every day, in a format you can drop into a spreadsheet or hand to another tool.
There are really two kinds of data worth exporting. The raw signals — heart rate, HRV, temperature, sleep stages, activity — are what the ring measured. The computed layer — readiness, sleep score, your baselines and any annotations — is the interpretation on top. A good export keeps them separate but joinable, so you can see both the measurement and what was made of it.
A full export should give you every day as a row, every metric as a column, and a stable key (the date) so raw and computed files line up. CSV is best for spreadsheets; JSON is better if you’re feeding another program. Either way, the test of a good export is whether you could rebuild your own charts from it without anything missing.
Once it’s out, your data is portable: archive it, analyse it in a spreadsheet, chart a metric over a year, or share a clean summary with a clinician. The point of owning your data is being able to leave with it — and to use it in ways the original app never offered.
Vitra exports both layers for you: a CSV zip with separate raw and computed files plus a README, or a single JSON with a {raw, vitra} shape, both joinable on the day. Your data, in a form you can actually use — and it never has to leave your machine to get there.
