Show HN: Spotify and Apple Health data as art

So I made this app, Day by Data, to connect with and visualize your personal data like step count, music listening habits, and more into tiny visualizations and data art right on your iPhone.
The launch version has a few year-in-steps breakdowns and a few Spotify data-visualizations.
Over time, the goal is to make more data sources available to connect and empower users to learn from their personal data stored across these platforms. Think data about the food we eat, places we travel, or shows we watch.
Data accessibility and cleanliness is the hardest part, but I'm always open to different sources and visualization types.
Let me know what you think and if there are certain data sets you'd like to see visualized!

And the OP is too humble to flog it, but he also writes a cool newsletter about developing the app over at https://ngenart.substack.com/

The app and visualizations are great. Keep up the good work. Do you have a Mastodon/Fediverse account to follow your progress on the development?

FYI it doesn't seem to work on macOS, it lets you install it from the Mac App Store and step through the onboarding but it seems like it doesn't have the Health data API you're using. It doesn't request access to anything and just carries on, then "get started" doesn't do anything.
On iOS it works great though! One small thing I noticed is that after the onboarding it was showing the health visualisations as still requiring me to connect. After a few taps it updated and worked though.
