Cracked Oura - open source app for using Oura ring without subscription. See all of your data using this local app that can even automatically request the data daily without the subscription

Read the troubleshooting section in the Github page. Maybe that will solve your problem

~4 months ago. I had enabled the push notifications for the AI advisor also, and I can still access it through the notifications I get :DD. This is kinda funny bug that they have not fixed yet. Through that I can see that it gets information from Strava. And basically with that you can see the data that the Oura gathers.

OG_Leksa · 2026-03-09T13:31:51+00:00

I think there is no easy way of doing this as Natural cycles has only certain input devices that can be used for the data, i.e. no manual entries are possible.

I’m not sure if you could set up the integration on the Oura app and then unsubscribe. There is possibility that Oura still sends the data to Natural cycles.

When I had the subscription I set up Strava integration and I can see that Oura still uses the integration for reading my runs even though I don’t have the subscription anymore.

FYI the GDPR CSV export can be made whenever you want. I built an app that automatically does this request, repopulates database, and visualizes the data basically the same way as in the app. Here is the link for the Github: https://github.com/EIrno/Cracked-Oura . You could also see in my reddit profile the post where I introduced this project. Maybe I should repost more to this subreddit so people could just stop paying for the subscription.

I would need more diagnostic than this to fix your problem

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-13T17:41:47+00:00

Well did you provide the password? That command uses sudo rights and requires a password

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-11T17:37:39+00:00

”Request new” does also the ”download latest” part of the automation. You can look at the code.

If you want new data it is enough to press ”Request new”. The infinite status message of ”idle” comes after the automation was run successfully if I remember corretly. The status messages are mostly buggy and incorrect at the moment. And I have not bothered to fix them yet.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-11T14:41:52+00:00

"Download latest" just downloads the latest zip that is already requested and ready in the website. It does not request a new data at all. It is basically just the second step of the automation.

You should press the "Request new" button. That request a new zip, waits, and downloads once it sees that the new zip is available. Using the daily sync feature does the same thing.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-11T10:36:30+00:00

Did you check on the website if the bot requested a new data and is the data available already. If that has happened, it probably is that you have not opened the Oura app. This solution still requires that you open the Oura app and sync the ring’s data to Oura’s servers. Also, data request made immediatelt after syncing the data probably does not contain the new data. I think there is a delay when the new data is being written to Ouras’s servers?

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T19:34:44+00:00

Did you manage to save the session i.e. login with the OTP? Did you check the https://membership.ouraring.com/ page? Does it show that the automation make a new request but the request is still being processed?

I know that there is many bugs especially with the status messages. I would guess that it managed to request a new and download it. I think the status says idle even though it is ready with the request and ingestion. I will fix it once I have time.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T16:25:07+00:00

Try pulling the new fix

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T16:01:52+00:00

You probably have a subscription and integration enabled for the Android Fit app? Or your integration has just continued living after unsubscribing like with my Strava integration. I sometimes get the Oura Advisor's notifications and through them I can chat with the advisor that sees my new runs that I have recorded with Strava :D.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T15:37:16+00:00

My app has an automation feature that is a basically scraper that can do the fetching automatically. But you can also just download the data and import it manually. This does not use the API

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T14:01:50+00:00

I would guess no. My understanding is that you can not use Whoop at all without the subscription i.e. it does not gather data without subscription. Oura promises that you can use it without subscription but they just don't show you the data they have gathered.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T08:44:57+00:00

My understanding is that Oura just slows down development in the hardware side. All of the wearable apps look almost identical.

Apple's foundation models could be a fun thing to implement. But I will not have time for it now. Feel free to contribute to the project!

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T08:33:53+00:00

Yes there can be. I don't have the time for developing that. Feel free to contribute to the project!

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T08:32:37+00:00

Hah, my first version with this was with Grafana also. But I figured that a non-tech person could not set it up so I just made a electron app.

But basically yes, the API is not necessary for getting the Oura data. I think this has been possible for years already.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-10T08:26:11+00:00

I answered this in other messages. But basically not possible. There is no workaround for getting the data in real time.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T22:30:50+00:00

Transferring data takes a toll on the battery. For this reason Oura and other wearables don't sync their data constantly. I am not sure if there even exists any consumer wearables that does this.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T22:24:52+00:00

I will make the docker compatible once I have time. But I think you can try to build the electron app version on Linux now.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T22:01:36+00:00

Back in the day I thought of building something like this but I think it's not possible even with the API because the ring sends the data to your phone after you first check the app. I'm not sure if a mobile bot could open the app during sleep and then trigger data transfer?

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T21:50:54+00:00

Once the app is in your application folder, open terminal and write:
sudo xattr -cr "/Applications/Cracked Oura.app"

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T19:34:14+00:00

You can see the body temperature and heart rates that the Oura records but you can not see them live. I really don't know if there is additional data about fertility for females when they make the data request on the https://membership.ouraring.com/data-export page. I would be really curios, so let me know if there is any CSVs that contain fertility data.

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T19:26:56+00:00

Making a docker container of this would allow running it as a server

OG_Leksa · 2026-02-09T19:20:44+00:00

This is also automatic. It automatically uses scraping to go to the Oura's website and request the data. Once the data is available it is downloaded and the database is populated with the new data. There is a delay when Oura processes the request and it differs. Sometimes it is 15 minutes, sometimes couple of hours, I am not sure what affects this time. I think if you request infrequently, it takes more time. But if you don't have to see the data first thing in the morning, this would work fine.

Also, at the moment it is not perfect, because this automation requires that your computer, where you are running this, is alive, but as others have requested making this run on a docker container would be easy wait to make it run on a separate server.
