Wrapped in numbers
Posted in daily
Tags :I don’t know about you, but this year I’ve received an increasing number of “Year in review / Wrapped / Recap / Replay 2025” emails, which led me to start digging into what numbers I could surface about the past year.
Beyond the usual suspects (music or books), I’ve been curious to see how to extract and process Apple Health data locally.

I recently found an app called Health Auto Export - JSON+CSV which let me export my workout’s data in a matter of minutes.

Cycling is mostly my daily commutes. I try to record each time I go for a walk or a hike, but I might have missed some. We’ve hiked less this year, probably due to last summer’s poor weather and because we spent more time on the Lake.
Top three…
Here’s a short selection of books, movies and music I enjoyed last year.

I learned so much about Apple’s logistics and how, in seeking efficiency, became entangled in the very politics it once claimed to challenge. Holly Gibney is back! It’s such a treat to dive back into her adventures and new mysteries. I binged read all of Simon Kovalic and his crew’s adventures this year, and I’m feeling a bit sad to have to say goodbye to these characters.
