Solair AI vs MetricBridge: on-device Apple Health Q&A, and the agent bridge only one ships

Solair AI vs MetricBridge: on-device Apple Health Q&A, and the agent bridge only one ships

Two on-device apps answer questions about Apple Health without sending data to the cloud. Solair AI is free, reads 15+ HealthKit metrics, runs 60+ on-device models, and never needs an account. MetricBridge answers the same questions and adds a provenance card showing the exact numbers behind each answer, then exports 190 metrics and points a zero-dependency MCP server at them so Claude, Cursor, or your own scripts can read the same data.

The honest split:

  • Free, on-device chat: Solair AI, and it is good at exactly that.
  • Answers you can audit: MetricBridge's provenance card.
  • Letting your health data power other agents: only MetricBridge, over MCP.

If all you want is chat, either works. The bridge is what separates them.
