What is Trackrecord?
Trackrecord keeps a record of the music you play while you run. You tap Start in the app before you head out, play whatever you like from Apple Music or Spotify, and it saves every song with the mile you heard it and your pace while it played. When the activity reaches Strava, the app adds the song-by-song breakdown to its description on its own.
The other half is social. Trackrecord calls itself a music community of runners: you follow people, see who was out today and what they played, press play on their runs, and play mixes built from what the community runs to. Every profile and activity has a public web page you can share with people who don't use the app; the FAQ says your route and map aren't shared there.
It's free, iPhone only, and new. The first App Store release was on September 25, 2026, and version 1.28 arrived on October 19, the latest of a run of updates every few days. Its site says it's built by one person, in the open.
Key Features
Your run, song by song
Each song gets the mile it played in and your pace during it. A song counts once it has played for 30 seconds, and it gets its own pace after about 50 meters of movement. Songs played before you start tracking or after you stop aren't part of the activity.
Fastest songs
Across your activities, Trackrecord ranks the songs you run fastest to. A song needs a pace from two or more activities to make the list, it's ranked by your usual pace on it, and the FAQ says the ranking adjusts for hills so a downhill stretch doesn't hand a song the win. It also marks a song PR when you beat your best pace on a song, and since version 1.28 you can tap one to see your pace on this run, your best before it, and where you set it.
Posted to Strava, named after the music
The breakdown goes into the Strava activity description. The app also names the activity after its songs; you can shuffle for another suggestion or type your own title, and the Strava post follows.
Music from other runners
A daily mix built from the people you follow and the rest of the community, mixes by genre, by distance and by person, a mix of what you and another runner both play, and community charts: artists more than one person plays, the fastest songs and the genre mix. Any activity or mix can be added to Apple Music or Spotify as a playlist.
Share cards and monthly records
Instagram Story cards built from your album covers, with several styles, and a page for every month that you can replay as a story.
Gear
If your Strava activity has shoes attached, Trackrecord shows your mileage per pair, what you played in each, and a community page of the shoes with the most miles on the app.
Who It's For
- Runners who run with music and want a record of it alongside the splits
- People who find music through other people, and like the idea of a running club built around playlists
- Anyone who wants their Strava followers to see the soundtrack
What It Doesn't Do
It doesn't start on its own. You open the app and tap Start before each run; the FAQ says iPhone apps can't start when your watch does. With a watch, the finish is automatic, and the songs go to Strava without touching your phone.
No Android app is listed, and recording happens in the iPhone app. The website shows shared activities, gear and charts.
What does it read from Strava?
The privacy policy lists distance, time, splits, activity type and gear, used to match your activities to your music. The policy says it writes the song breakdown to the activity's description when you post one. The policy says the app doesn't keep your route.
Does it read my whole Spotify or Apple Music history?
No. The privacy policy says it records which songs played while you're tracking an activity, and doesn't access your listening history outside tracked activities.
What if Spotify loses signal mid-run?
The FAQ says Spotify can drop its connection where signal is weak, and if that happens right as you start, the activity can end up with no songs. It suggests starting where you have signal, and connecting Last.fm as an optional backup that fills in songs the app missed. It says Apple Music doesn't have this problem.
Does it work for rides or the gym?
It's made for running, but rides, walks, hikes and lifts get logged too. For a session with no Strava activity, the songs are still saved, and you can attach them once you add the activity to Strava later.
Can I keep my profile private?
Yes. A public profile shows your username, activities and songs to other Trackrecord users, and you can make it private in Settings. The privacy policy adds that a public profile's activities also appear on its public web profile.
