How to bring your Oura Ring data into Barkat

Oura can export your data, and Barkat can bring in your resting heart rate from it: the lowest heart rate of each night, which tends to rise a little after ovulation. It shows on each day in Barkat's cycle tab.

Oura's temperature data works differently. It only reports how far your temperature was from your own usual level each night, never the temperature itself, so it can't fill in a basal temperature chart. If you want a temperature chart in Barkat, a basal thermometer in the morning is still the way to get one.

1. Ask Oura for your data

Sign in at membership.ouraring.com. From the Oura app, that's the menu, then Settings, Account, and Manage membership. Choose Export data, then Request your data. Oura says it can take up to 10 days, and it emails you when the file is ready. You don't need an active membership.

2. Open the zip

Download the zip from the Membership Hub and open it. In the App Data folder, find sleepmodel.csv.

3. Bring it into Barkat

Open Barkat's cycle tab and tap bring in from another app. Choose Oura, tap choose the file, and pick sleepmodel.csv. Barkat shows what it found before adding anything. Tap add it to my cycle, or cancel. Days you've already logged in Barkat stay the way you logged them, and undo takes the whole import back.

Keeping it private

Barkat reads the file on your phone and never uploads it. If you turn on sync, your cycle is locked on your phone with your six-word phrase before it leaves, like everything else in Barkat. Once it's in, you can delete the export from your phone or computer.
