What is TrackTunes?
TrackTunes matches your Spotify listening history against your Strava activity timestamps and writes the resulting tracklist into the activity description. Strava retired its own Spotify integration; this is one person's replacement for it, and it does more than the original — once the songs are attached to your workouts, it starts scoring them against your pace.
It won the Up & Coming App Award at Strava's first Developer Summit, held at Strava's San Francisco office in October 2025, five months after TrackTunes launched. The site's counter is at 700,000+ tracks logged.
Two things worth knowing before you connect: it writes to your Strava activities (the music goes in the description, so followers see it), and it is Spotify-only. There is no native app — it's a web app you add to your home screen.
Key Features
Music written into every activity
Connect Strava and Spotify once, and the tracklist lands in the description of each new activity by itself. Nothing to press after a run.
Power Songs
The part that isn't just a tracklist. TrackTunes scores songs against your own pace, run after run, to find the ones you consistently run faster to — not the songs that happened to play during your fastest efforts, which is a different and much less useful list.
Cadence Mixes
It reads your run history to work out your natural stride cadence in steps per minute, then builds a BPM-matched playlist out of songs you've already run to. Four presets — Easy, Steady, Tempo, Intervals. It handles half-time and double-time, so a 79 BPM track still counts for a 158 SPM stride.
Songs on your route
Your map, with the track segments color-coded by what was playing where.
The Rhythm Section
BPM analysis across your whole running history, including the tempo you actually run fastest at and where your stride locks to the beat.
Who It's For
- Runners who train with headphones and want the soundtrack recorded alongside the splits
- Anyone who missed Strava's old Spotify integration and wants it back with more behind it
- Cadence-focused runners who'd rather build a playlist around their stride rate than guess at BPM
