The Microsoft Band collects data about you throughout the day as you wear it and through your phone or desktop, it uploads this data into the Microsoft Health service. The $64 question is, “How do you get at that data? How can you export it?”
Enter the “Unband Beta” application.
Unband is a 3rd party application for Windows that has the following features (as taken from the developer’s web site):
- Change Theme colours to arbitrary colours.
- Change Background to arbitrary backgrounds.
- Export all of your activity data from the Microsoft Health cloud service.
- Supports exporting GPX files for those of you who like viewing your runs elsewhere.
The app is a click-to-run .NET application that is actually about 6MB when it’s fully downloaded and installed.
WARNING: Unband is still ‘alpha’ code and isn’t rock solid so while it’s super cool, you need to set your expectations appropriately.
