Notion Health Day Board

A personal day board for tasks, focus and wellbeing. It syncs your tasks from Notion and your Apple Health data from an iPhone Shortcut. It runs as a private page (an artifact) in Claude, and Claude sends you a short summary each morning and evening.

Think of it as a post box. Each evening your iPhone puts one health line into a Notion page. Your board collects that line, and your tasks, when it syncs.

What it does

The board has six pages, with links between them:

Page	What you can do
Today	See tasks to do, tasks done today, focus minutes, mood and steps. Each tile opens its page. Shows the three tasks to do next.
Tasks	Tick tasks, search, filter by group, and star up to three as today’s focus. New tasks from Notion wait in a “New from Notion” box.
Focus	Run a 15, 25 or 50 minute focus timer for one task. Finished sessions are logged.
Wellbeing	A 20-second daily check-in: mood, energy, sleep score and one line of notes. A 14-day mood chart and a check-in streak.
Health	Steps against a goal, sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), exercise and resting heart rate, with 14-day charts. Shows how your sleep, steps and sleep score link to your mood.
Progress	Tasks done and focus minutes per day, levels and points.

Plus:

• A Sync Notion button that reads your Notion To-Do List and Health Log.
• A morning message (yesterday’s health, top tasks for today) and an evening message (tasks done, today’s health), sent by Claude scheduled tasks.
• It works on a phone, and as a small desktop widget window on Windows, Mac and Linux.

How it works

• Tasks: the board reads your Notion To-Do List through Claude’s Notion connector. Ticking a task in Notion marks it done on the board. Ticking on the board does not change Notion.
• Health: Apple does not let web pages read Apple Health. An iPhone Shortcut reads your numbers and adds one line to a Notion page. The board reads that page.
• Storage: tasks, check-ins, focus sessions and health days are kept in the board’s own private database. See docs/data-model.md.

What you need

• A Claude account that can publish artifacts, with the Notion connector added (Settings, Connectors).
• A Notion account.
• An iPhone with the Shortcuts app. An Apple Watch is optional, but gives HRV, sleep and better step counts.
• For the desktop widget: Windows with Edge or Chrome, macOS Sonoma or later with Safari, or Linux with a Chromium-based browser.

Setup

Pick the complete guide for your computer. Each one covers every step from start to finish.

Your computer	Guide	Time
Windows	docs/setup-windows.md	about 1 hour 30 minutes
Mac	docs/setup-mac.md (shortest)	about 1 hour
Linux	docs/setup-linux.md	about 1 hour 15 minutes

All three need an iPhone, because only an iPhone can read Apple Health.

The steps below are a short overview of the same path.

Step 1. Make two Notion pages

1. To-Do List. Make a page with your tasks as to-do (checkbox) blocks, one task per line. Type [] and a space to start a checkbox. Text after a dash is shown as a note, for example Message a friend- about the weekend. Plain lines without a checkbox are ignored.
2. Health Log. Make an empty page called Health Log. You can add one line of text at the top, for example “My iPhone Shortcut adds one line here each day.”

Step 2. Publish the board in Claude

1. Get the page ID of each Notion page. Open the page, tap Share, then Copy link. The page ID is the 32 letters and numbers at the end of the link.

   Example: https://www.notion.so/To-Do-List-0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef has the page ID 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef.

2. Open board/index.html. Near the top of the script, replace the two tags with your page IDs:

   var PAGE_ID='YOUR-TODO-LIST-PAGE-ID';
   var HEALTH_ID='YOUR-HEALTH-LOG-PAGE-ID';
   

3. Start a chat with Claude, attach the edited board/index.html, and send this:

   Publish the attached index.html as an artifact, exactly as it is.
   Declare these capabilities: db (no rules) and mcp with the server
   "Notion" and the tool "notion-fetch".
   

4. Open the new artifact. Press Sync Notion and choose Allow when Claude asks about Notion. Your tasks appear on the Tasks page.
5. Keep the artifact link. In this guide it is called YOUR-BOARD-ARTIFACT-URL.

Step 3. Build the iPhone Shortcut

Open the Shortcut guide on your iPhone and follow it. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes, one time only.

• Open the guide link on your iPhone: https://claude.ai/artifact/Dm6jjbEFNxQutpQ9xAgaTc . It is the same guide for Windows, Mac and Linux users.
• Or ask Claude to publish shortcut-guide/index.html as an artifact.

At the top of the guide, paste your Health Log link. The copy buttons then hold your own page ID.

The Shortcut needs a Notion key (an internal integration secret). The guide shows how to make one. Keep the key only on your phone, inside the Shortcut. Never put it in this repository, a file, or a chat.

Step 4. Test the whole chain

1. Run the Shortcut once. The notification must start with {"object":"list".
2. Open the Health Log in Notion. A new dated line is at the bottom.
3. Press Sync Notion on the board and open the Health page.

If something fails, see docs/troubleshooting.md.

Step 5. Daily messages (optional)

Make two scheduled tasks in Claude, one with each prompt:

Message	Prompt	Suggested time
Morning	prompts/morning-update.md	8:30am
Evening	prompts/evening-update.md	15 minutes after your Shortcut automation, for example 11:15pm

Before you use the prompts, replace YOUR-TODO-LIST-PAGE-ID, YOUR-HEALTH-LOG-PAGE-ID, YOUR-BOARD-ARTIFACT-URL and YOUR-TIMEZONE (for example Europe/London). Each run also syncs Notion to the board, so the board stays up to date even when you do not press Sync.

You can ask Claude: “Make a scheduled task every day at 8:30am in my time zone with this prompt”, and paste the prompt.

Step 6. Desktop widget (optional)

Choose the guide for your computer:

System	Guide	Time
Windows	docs/desktop-widget-windows.md	about 10 minutes
Mac	docs/desktop-widget-mac.md	about 5 minutes
Linux	docs/desktop-widget-linux.md	about 10 minutes

Daily use

1. Morning: read your morning message. Open the board, go to Wellbeing, and do your check-in. Type your sleep score from the Health app (Browse, Sleep).
2. During the day: star up to three tasks for focus. Use the Focus timer. Tick tasks when they are done, in Notion or on the board.
3. Evening: the Shortcut sends your health line. Then the evening message arrives.

After about a week of check-ins, the Health page starts to show how your sleep, steps and HRV link to your mood.

Privacy and security

• The board artifact is private by default. Only you can open it, unless you share it. It holds your mood notes and health numbers, so share it with care.
• Your Notion key stays inside the iPhone Shortcut. It can only add text to the pages you gave it access to. If it is ever exposed, refresh it on the Notion integrations page.
• Your health data passes through your own Notion page and your own board. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
• Before you share screenshots or a fork, remove your own tasks, check-ins, health numbers, page IDs and links.
• Never commit your Notion key to a fork, even a private one. Keep it only inside the iPhone Shortcut. Give the key access to the Health Log page only.
• Your Notion pages are read by Claude. The scheduled tasks read your task titles and notes, and they run without asking you each time. Keep the To-Do List and Health Log private, so nobody else can add text to them. The prompts tell Claude to treat that text as data, never as instructions.
• Health data goes to Notion. The Shortcut stores your daily health numbers on your own Notion page, under Notion’s terms. Leave out any number you do not want stored there.
• Fonts: both pages load two free fonts from Google Fonts. Google can see that a font was requested, as with any website that uses them. To avoid this, delete the <link> line at the top of each page. The pages then use your system font.

Report a problem

Open an issue on GitHub. For a security problem, use Security, Report a vulnerability on the repository page instead, so it stays private. Never paste a Notion key into an issue.

Known limits

• Sleep score: Apple does not let Shortcuts read it, so you type it in the check-in.
• Steps: the Health app joins iPhone and Watch steps minute by minute. Shortcuts cannot. The Shortcut takes the bigger of the two, which is close and never doubled.
• Locked iPhone: Health data is locked while the iPhone is locked, so an automation can fail late at night. Pick a time when you usually still use your phone.
• Time in daylight: many iPhones do not offer it in Shortcuts. The board hides it when there is no data.
• Board outside Claude: the board uses Claude’s built-in storage and Notion connector. Opened as a plain file in a browser, it shows the layout but cannot load or save data. A standalone version would need a small server, because Notion does not accept calls straight from a web page.
• Not medical advice: the board shows your own numbers and trends. It does not diagnose anything.

Tested on

The setup steps and the troubleshooting list come from building and testing the board end to end on an iPhone with an Apple Watch.
