To my knowledge, Apple Health is the only health/fitness data storage with end to end encrypted data, which is one of my main reasons to stay out of other fitness eco systems even if their hardware is way better.

Garmin lets you connect your device as an USB storage device and manage everything manually though.

I do this to completely skip online uploading, and am keeping track of stats using a mashup of bash scripts and cli tools.

I feel like there has to be a middle ground between giving everything to an untrusted cloud and manually downloading raw data and building home grown tools to try and process and make sense of it. As a user, I don't want either of those extremes.

There is https://gadgetbridge.org, which seems like a cool project but I never used it since it is Android only and don't know how good the support actually is.

That sounds good and I will look into it.
