How to export your Huckleberry data as a CSV, and what's in the file

Your sleep log can be downloaded as a spreadsheet file. Here's how to get it, what's inside, and the few things that catch people out when they open it.

Why export your log at all?

Logging apps are designed for quick taps at odd hours. When you want to step back and ask bigger questions, such as how long your baby is usually awake between naps or whether the nights changed after a move, it helps to have the raw data. The export gives you every entry you've made for one child, in a file you can keep, open in a spreadsheet, or give to a tool like WakeGlance.

How to export from Huckleberry

These steps come from Huckleberry's own help article, "Can I export my data from the app?":

1. Open the app and tap your child's profile icon in the menu bar.
2. Scroll down and tap Export tracking data as CSV.
3. Tap Got it! Email it.
4. Huckleberry emails a download link to the address on your account. Open it and download the file.

A few details from the same article are worth knowing:

• The link expires after 24 hours. If you miss it, you can request a new one.
• One file per child. If you have more than one child in the app, export each profile separately and rename the files so you can tell them apart.
• It includes everything you logged for that child, including sleep, feeds and diapers.

Apps change their menus from time to time. If what you see doesn't match these steps, trust the app and check Huckleberry's help pages, which are the authority on their own export.

Where to save it on a phone

On an iPhone, the downloaded file usually lands in the Files app, in Downloads. On Android, it usually goes to the Downloads folder. Giving it a clear name, like maya-sleep-2026-11-13.csv, makes it easy to find again and to tell newer exports from older ones.

What's in the file

A CSV (comma-separated values) file is plain text laid out like a spreadsheet. The first row is a header, and every row after it is one entry from your log. The files WakeGlance reads have these columns:

Three things that trip people up

1. Columns change meaning by row

The detail columns are shared by every kind of entry, so a column that holds one thing on a feed row holds something else on a diaper row. If you sort or add up a whole column, you mix them together. Filter by Type first and work with one kind of entry at a time.

2. Times have no time zone

A time like 2026-11-02 19:32 is the clock time as logged. It doesn't say which time zone it was in. That's usually fine, but if you travelled across time zones or the clocks changed, a few gaps may look a little odd. WakeGlance treats the times exactly as written, which keeps clock changes from shifting anything.

3. Naps and night sleep aren't labelled

Every sleep is just a Sleep row. To separate naps from nights you need a rule. WakeGlance's default is that a sleep counts as night if it starts between 6pm and 6am or lasts 4 hours or more, and you can change those settings to match your baby's routine.

Opening it yourself in a spreadsheet

You can open the file in Google Sheets, Numbers or Excel. A simple way to start:

1. Import the file, then turn on a filter for the header row.
2. Filter Type to Sleep only.
3. Sort by Start, oldest first.
4. Add a column for the gap between each sleep's End and the next sleep's Start.

That gap column is the start of working out wake windows. The average wake windows guide carries on from here, including what to leave out so the average means something.

Or let WakeGlance read it

If you'd rather skip the spreadsheet, WakeGlance reads the CSV directly in your phone's browser. It shows average awake time between sleeps, naps per day, the longest night stretch, this week against last, and a one-page summary for your pediatrician. The file is never uploaded anywhere, and there's built-in made-up sample data so you can see how it works first.
