What is Sauce for Strava?
Sauce for Strava is a free browser extension that enhances Strava's activity pages with advanced analytics, detailed charts, and features that Strava itself doesn't offer. Install it in Chrome or Firefox, and your Strava activity pages are instantly upgraded with deeper data, better visualizations, and performance tools that rival dedicated analytics platforms.
Originally created by Justin Mayfield, Sauce is an open-source project that has built a loyal following among power users who want more from their Strava data without switching to a separate platform.
Key Features
Enhanced Activity Pages
Sauce adds data panels, expanded charts, and detailed statistics to standard Strava activity pages. Power, heart rate, pace, and grade data get richer visualizations right inside the Strava interface you already use.
Advanced Power Analysis
For cyclists with power meters, Sauce adds normalized power (NP), intensity factor (IF), training stress score (TSS), variability index, and power zone distribution, all directly on your Strava activity page.
Live Segment Tracking
See real-time segment data with detailed effort analysis, including power curves, grade-adjusted pace, and historical comparisons for every segment you ride or run.
Performance Predictions
Sauce estimates your FTP (Functional Threshold Power), peak power values, and provides performance predictions based on your activity data.
Expanded Analysis Tools
Lap analysis, elevation corrections, grade-adjusted pace calculations, and detailed interval breakdowns give you the kind of analysis that typically requires a paid analytics platform.
Who It's For
- Power users who want deeper data without leaving Strava
- Cyclists with power meters needing NP, IF, and TSS calculations
- Runners looking for grade-adjusted pace and advanced splits
- Data enthusiasts who want more from every activity page
- Budget-conscious athletes wanting premium analytics for free
Why It's Special
Most Strava analytics tools require you to visit a separate website, wait for data to sync, and learn a new interface. Sauce takes the opposite approach: it enhances the Strava pages you already visit, putting advanced data exactly where you'd expect to find it. There's no extra app to open and no sync delays.
