What is Strautomator?
Strautomator's own pitch is "Your Strava, on autopilot". You write rules once, and every new activity that lands on Strava gets run through them: a run or a hike can get an AI-written description, a short ride recorded on a Garmin Edge can be marked as a commute and muted from your followers' feed, and a ride that starts at home and ends at the office can be tagged as a commute with the right bike set as its gear. Those are the examples on its homepage, and they give the idea better than a feature list does.
It writes back to Strava, which is the point. Names, descriptions, the commute tag, gear, feed muting and, on PRO, your FTP all change on Strava itself. The code is open source under the AGPL-3.0, and the homepage says that if you're comfortable with the tech you can host your own instance.
Key Features
Automations
Each automation is a condition and an action: IF the sport type is a ride, THEN generate a name; IF it starts here and ends there, THEN set this bike. The free plan runs three of them on every new activity; PRO has no limit, and lets you share automations with other users or import theirs.
AI names, descriptions and insights
The answer to a feed full of "Morning Ride". Strautomator writes names and descriptions with AI in a tone you pick, from serious coach to sarcastic friend. PRO adds private insights about your training that only you see. Under the terms, using the AI features sends some of your activity metadata to OpenRouter, which passes it to the AI provider you choose.
GearWear and the battery tracker
GearWear counts kilometres and hours on shoes, chains, tyres and other components and emails you as each one nears the limit you set. On PRO, the battery tracker reads data from your Garmin and Wahoo devices so you know when a power meter, shifter or heart rate strap is running low.
Weather, music and counters
Temperature, wind, humidity and other conditions go into names and descriptions. On PRO, Spotify and Last.fm can add the tracks you were listening to, or their lyrics. An activity counter numbers things for you: "Cake Ride #12", "Hill repeats #47".
Calendar export and club events
Your past activities and your clubs' upcoming events go out as a calendar feed for whatever calendar app you use, and an events map shows upcoming club events with weather forecasts and traffic. Free covers 90 days back and 5 days ahead; PRO goes 10 years back and a year ahead.
The rest
Personal records (rides and runs on free, every sport on PRO), a default map style per sport, auto-mute for trainer sessions and short commutes, and on PRO, an FTP estimate from your recent efforts that it keeps current on Strava, plus an MCP server so Claude, Cursor and other agents can manage your account through chat.
Who It's For
- Commuters who log the same ride twice a day and are tired of tagging it by hand
- People with several bikes or pairs of shoes who want the right gear set and the wear counted without thinking about it
- Anyone who'd rather their feed didn't say "Afternoon Ride" a hundred times a year
- Tinkerers who like the idea of self-hosting an open-source tool against their own Strava account
Is Strautomator free?
The free plan is free with no end date and covers three automations, two GearWear configurations and limited AI. PRO is $9.99 a year, or $39.99 once for lifetime access, paid through Paddle; the terms say the price shown at checkout varies by country and date. There's also a third route: a monthly GitHub sponsorship of $1 or more upgrades your account to PRO automatically.
Does the free plan add a link to my activities?
Yes. By default the free plan adds a Strautomator link to the description of about one in five activities it processes, the Strautomator team told us in October 2026. You can have it added as a #strautomator hashtag instead, a setting in your account preferences that the account settings page in Strautomator's docs also describes. Only PRO removes it.
Can I run old activities through my rules?
Yes, with batch processing. The free plan reaches back 30 days; PRO goes back up to 10 years.
