NOOP App Guide

Quick steps

  1. Request your data export from WHOOP and wait for the email.
  2. Download the .zip onto the phone or Mac where you use NOOP. Don't unzip it.
  3. In NOOP, open Data Sources and import the WHOOP export.
  4. Optionally add Apple Health, Health Connect or nutrition data the same way.
  5. Make a backup once everything's in.

What you can import into NOOP

Everything is imported once and then lives in NOOP's database on your device:

SourceWhat it bringsWhere
WHOOP data export (.zip)Recovery, strain, sleep, workouts and journal answersAndroid, iPhone, Mac
Apple Health export (export.zip)Years of heart rate, HRV, sleep, blood oxygen, steps, weight and body compositioniPhone, Mac
Health ConnectSteps, heart rate, HRV, sleep and weight from your Android appsAndroid
Nutrition CSVDaily calories and macros from Cronometer or MacroFactorAndroid, iPhone, Mac
A NOOP backupEverything from another device running NOOPAndroid, iPhone, Mac

Data from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung Health and other apps can come in too, through Apple Health or Health Connect, if those apps share their data there.

Export your WHOOP data and import it

  1. Request your WHOOP data export

    Ask WHOOP for a copy of your data. NOOP's documentation points to the WHOOP web app at app.whoop.com, under Data Management. Request the export while your WHOOP account is active, especially if you plan to end your membership.

  2. Download the zip from WHOOP's email

    WHOOP emails you a link when the export is ready, which can take a while. Download the .zip file. Inside are CSV files for your daily cycles, sleeps, workouts and journal.

  3. Put the zip on your NOOP device

    Download it straight onto the phone or Mac where you use NOOP, or move it across with AirDrop, a USB cable or a cloud drive. Leave it zipped.

  4. Import it in NOOP

    Open Data Sources and choose Import WHOOP export (.zip). On iPhone and Mac, use the WHOOP Export card. Pick the file. During the first-time setup, the Bring your history step offers the same import.

  5. Check what came across

    NOOP shows how many records it imported and the date range. Open Trends to see your history as charts, and Sleep to step back through past nights.

What the WHOOP export includes

  • Daily cycles: recovery, strain, resting heart rate, HRV and more for each day.
  • Sleeps: each night's sleep with its stages and performance.
  • Workouts: your logged activities with their strain and heart rate.
  • Journal answers: the behaviours you logged in WHOOP (alcohol, caffeine, late meals…). NOOP's Insights screen uses them to show what actually moves your recovery.

For the days your export covers, NOOP shows the imported WHOOP values. For nights after it, NOOP calculates its own scores from your strap.

Import your Apple Health data (iPhone and Mac)

  1. Export from the Health app

    On your iPhone, open the Health app, tap your profile picture in the top corner, then Export All Health Data and Export. It can take several minutes for years of data.

  2. Save or share export.zip

    When it's ready, save export.zip to Files, or AirDrop it to your Mac if that's where you use NOOP. Large exports can be over a gigabyte; that's fine.

  3. Import it in NOOP

    In NOOP, open Data Sources and choose the Apple Health import, then pick export.zip. NOOP reads it in a stream, so even very large exports work, but they can take a minute or two.

On iPhone, NOOP can also send its own numbers into Apple Health: Settings → Export for Shortcuts hands your metrics to Apple Health through the Shortcuts app, one way, when you ask it to.

Import from Health Connect (Android)

Health Connect is Android's shared health store, where apps like Samsung Health, Google Fit, Garmin and Fitbit can put their data.

  1. In NOOP, open Data Sources and tap Import from Health Connect.
  2. Choose which kinds of data to bring in, and allow access when Android asks.
  3. Optionally turn on Auto-sync Health Connect periodically to pick up new data each time you open NOOP.

Share back to Health Connect does the reverse: it lets NOOP write its own metrics to Health Connect for other apps to use.

Import nutrition from Cronometer or MacroFactor

Export a daily nutrition CSV from Cronometer or MacroFactor, then import it in NOOP's Data Sources. Your calories and macros then sit on the same timeline as Charge, Rest and HRV, so you can use Explore and Compare to see how food lines up with how you recover.

Back up your NOOP data

NOOP keeps no cloud copy, so a backup is the only way to get your data back if you lose or reset your device. Make one after a big import, and regularly after that.

  • Android: open Backup & Sync. Choose a Backup folder and turn on Daily auto-backup to save a dated backup every day. Restore from a backup… brings one back.
  • iPhone and Mac: open Settings → Backup & restore. Export… saves everything (history, sleeps, workouts, settings) to one file. Backup & Sync to a folder… keeps copies in a folder you choose.
  • Any device: Export CSV… writes your days, sleeps, workouts and journal as a WHOOP-format .zip that re-imports into NOOP on any platform.

Move NOOP to a new device

  1. On the old device, make a full backup: Settings → Backup & restore → Export… on iPhone and Mac, or Backup & Sync on Android.
  2. Copy the backup file to the new device.
  3. Install NOOP on the new device (Android, iPhone, Mac).
  4. Import the backup: Settings → Backup & restore → Import… on iPhone and Mac, or Restore from a backup… on Android. Importing replaces whatever is on the new device, and on iPhone and Mac NOOP needs to be reopened afterwards.
  5. Pair your strap with the new device. It can only stay paired to one at a time.

Moving between platforms, say from Android to iPhone? Use Export CSV… on the old device and import that .zip on the new one like a WHOOP export.

Import problems and fixes

ProblemFix
NOOP doesn't accept the WHOOP fileMake sure it's the .zip from WHOOP's email, not a single CSV, and that it finished downloading.
The import seems stuckLarge exports (especially Apple Health) can take a few minutes. Keep NOOP open and the device awake.
History shows, but recent days are missingThe export only covers up to the day you requested it. Pair your strap and NOOP fills in from there.
Days look different after importingFor days in your export, NOOP shows WHOOP's values instead of its own estimates.
A French or Spanish WHOOP exportSupported: NOOP reads exports in other languages too. Update NOOP if an older version refuses it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my data out of WHOOP?

Ask WHOOP for a data export. NOOP's own documentation points to the WHOOP web app at app.whoop.com, under Data Management. WHOOP then emails you a link to a .zip file with your history as CSV files. Do it while your WHOOP account is still active.

Does importing upload my data anywhere?

No. NOOP reads the file on your own device and saves the result in its local database. Nothing is sent to NOOP, WHOOP or anyone else.

Do I need to unzip the WHOOP export first?

No. NOOP reads the .zip directly. An unzipped folder works too on Mac.

Will importing replace NOOP's own scores?

For the days your export covers, the imported WHOOP values are shown instead of NOOP's own calculations. NOOP keeps calculating its own scores for the nights after your export, from the data your strap syncs.

Can I import more than once?

Yes. Importing a newer export adds the extra days. Records NOOP already has aren't duplicated.

Does the WHOOP export work for a WHOOP 5.0 or MG?

Yes. WHOOP's export uses the same format for the 4.0, 5.0 and MG, and NOOP imports all of them. For 5.0 and MG owners, importing is the quickest way to see full recovery and sleep history today.

How do I move NOOP to a new phone?

Export a full backup from NOOP on the old device, copy the file across, install NOOP on the new one and import the backup. See Move NOOP to a new device.

Is my backup file encrypted?

No. NOOP's backups and exports are plain files that anyone who gets them can open. Keep them somewhere you trust, and think twice before saving them in a shared or cloud folder.
