Apps that work with Strava: 27 to start with, by what you need

Quick picks, by need

• intervals.icu: a free dashboard for fitness, fatigue and power (full history import is paid)
• Garmin Connect: getting a Garmin watch or Edge onto Strava automatically
• HealthFit: sending Apple Watch workouts to Strava automatically
• RunInk: a poster of one route, or every run you’ve done in a city
• GOTOES: merging two devices’ recordings or repairing a broken file
• Klimat: the weather written into each activity’s description
• ProBikeGarage: knowing when the chain and pads are due
• Wandrer: a score for every new road you cover
• Runna: a running plan that uploads your workouts to Strava
• Zwift: indoor rides and runs that upload on their own
• Fitbod: gym sessions that land on Strava with exercises, reps and weights

These are starting points for each job, not a ranking. Each section below has one or two alternatives, and the table near the end puts all 27 side by side. Prices are in US dollars unless a maker only lists another currency, and they were checked against each maker’s page in September 2026.

What app shows more stats than Strava?

intervals.icu is a free training platform for cyclists, runners and triathletes. It pulls in your activities from Strava (and Garmin and others) and draws the Performance Management Chart of fitness and fatigue, estimates your FTP from single hard efforts, and plans structured workouts. The core is free with no trial; a $4 a month Supporter plan adds features, and importing your full Strava history is one of them.

Runalyze leans toward running: VO2max estimates, race predictions and a long list of physiological numbers. It syncs from Strava, and by default skips activities Runalyze already gets through one of its own direct connections, such as Garmin (a setting you can change). It recommends Strava’s bulk export if you want your original files in it. Free, with paid tiers from €2.50 a month.

Sauce for Strava works differently. It’s a free browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari) that adds peak-effort tables and other analysis right on Strava’s own activity pages.

How do I get my watch to sync to Strava?

Through the watch maker’s app, in almost every case. Connect it once and new activities upload by themselves.

• Garmin Connect: link it from Strava’s settings or the app, and activities sync automatically. Strava’s help article notes a catch: if one Garmin account is linked to several Strava accounts, it only syncs to the most recently created one. More on the Garmin Connect page.
• COROS: connect Strava from the COROS app’s settings and workouts upload after each session.
• Polar Flow: new sessions forward to Strava once the accounts are linked, but older ones don’t. For history, Strava’s help page says to export from Flow and upload the files by hand.
• HealthFit covers the Apple Watch. It’s a $6.99 one-time iPhone and iPad app that by its own description uploads Apple Watch workouts to Strava automatically, and to a long list of other services too.

Garmin Connect, COROS and Polar Flow are free downloads. Strava’s help center also covers sending routes the other way, from Strava to Garmin, COROS and Polar devices. Other watches and bike computers are under data importers.

Which apps make art or prints from my runs?

RunInk turns a Strava run, ride or hike into a map poster: either one route with its stats, or every activity you’ve logged in a city layered into a heat map. Designing is free. Printed posters start at $32 (£24.99 in the UK) with shipping included, and framed ones at $139 ($209 for the 24x36-inch US and Canada size).

Cadence Prints makes custom map prints from Strava activities or GPX files, for rides, runs, treks and ski days, with as many activities on one print as you like and free shipping worldwide. More options, and the ones that don’t connect to Strava at all, are in the art and print roundup.

How do I merge or fix activities?

GOTOES is a set of free browser tools: merge heart rate from one device with GPS from another, repair a corrupt FIT file, shrink a file that’s over Strava’s limits, or bulk-upload old manual activities from a spreadsheet. Connect Strava to a free GOTOES account and it can pull activities in from Strava and send files back by email, move Garmin activities over one at a time, or create manual activities in bulk. Most tools are free; donors of $10 or more get every feature and double the file limits for a year.

Combine.Run handles one case: a run or ride that got saved as two activities. It reads your recent activities, fills the gap with interpolated GPS points, uploads the merged activity and can hide the originals, which it never deletes. It’s free, and the merge runs in your browser.

On Strava, a Zwift ride on Watopia, Zwift’s main island, can land in the middle of the ocean, which is the problem Mythic Maps describes. It sets a picture of the real Zwift world map as the activity’s main photo, for your last indoor ride and every one after, and leaves the route, time and stats alone. It’s free. Its site lists Rouvy and MyWhoosh as coming soon.

What apps add weather to Strava?

Klimat, free for 30 activities and then three every 30 days, or $15 a year for unlimited, looks up the conditions for the time and place of each activity once you upload it and adds them to the description, alongside anything you’ve already written.

Epic Ride Weather is for before the ride: it loads routes from Strava (or Ride with GPS, Komoot, a GPX file and others) and forecasts wind, rain and temperature at the time you’ll reach each point. A 30-day trial capped at 1,000 forecasts, then $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year.

For cyclists, myWindsock covers both ends: weather and wind analysis on past rides, forecasts for planned routes, and the option to add its report to your Strava description. The free tier adds weather data to activities and routes; paid plans add segment alerts and weather history, and the higher tiers add power planning and aero analysis.

Which apps track bike and shoe mileage?

Strava counts distance per bike and per pair of shoes. These go further.

ProBikeGarage syncs your bikes and rides from Strava and tracks wear on each component, then tells you when a service is due. The website has a free tier and Premium at $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year; on iPhone the app itself is a $3.99 download in the US App Store.

For running shoes there’s trackmy.shoes: mileage, best efforts per pair, a heat map of where each pair has been, and a year view, and the site says it will stay free.

Which apps turn exploring into a game?

Wandrer shows the new roads, towns and neighborhoods each run, ride or hike covered, and your completion for each. It connects to Strava, Ride with GPS or Garmin. Signing up is free; premium syncs your full history and opens the monthly and yearly challenges.

CityStrides ticks off every street in your city as you run it, with paid Supporter features on top of a free account. Strava is one of seven trackers it accepts, along with Garmin, COROS, Polar and Suunto.

Squadrats splits the map into squares that you collect by riding, running or hiking through them. It syncs from Strava, Garmin and other trackers, but not Komoot, and it’s free to sign up. How the three compare, plus a few more, is in the exploration apps roundup and Wandrer vs CityStrides.

What training plan apps work with Strava?

Runna builds running plans, from a first 5K to an ultra, and uploads the workouts you record in Runna to your Strava account. The first week is free, then it’s $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year in the US; prices vary by country.

Final Surge is a training log and planner that coaches and athletes share. It pulls workouts from Strava, Garmin Connect, TrainerRoad and others. The free account has the planning and analysis; Athlete Premium adds HRV, morning readiness, weather and a route builder.

For cycling plans, TrainerRoad is in the next section. intervals.icu, above, also plans structured workouts.

Which indoor training apps work with Strava?

Zwift lists Strava among the platforms that receive its activity data: finished rides and runs upload after you save them. It’s $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year plus tax, with a 14-day free trial on the monthly plan, on PC, Mac, iOS, Android and Apple TV.

TrainerRoad syncs both ways. It imports your Strava history and shares TrainerRoad rides to your Strava profile. $21.99 a month or $209.99 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

MyWhoosh, free virtual cycling on iOS, Android, Mac and PC, connects both ways. You link Strava from the Connections page of your profile. Its help pages say your ride data goes to the platforms you connect, and since version 5.7.0 your outdoor Strava activities show up in the MyWhoosh calendar next to your indoor sessions. More indoor options are under indoor, and Zwift vs ROUVY covers the scenic-route side.

Which strength apps log sets to Strava?

Strava announced a strength log with sets, reps and weight, plus muscle maps, on May 21, 2026, and named partner apps, Fitbod and Motra among them.

Fitbod builds gym workouts and, once connected, sends each one to Strava with the exercises, reps and weights, which you can edit on Strava afterward (edits don’t flow back). It also imports your Strava activities so its recommendations account for your runs and rides, but only ones set to public.

Motra says it detects the exercise and counts reps from the motion of an Apple Watch (Series 4 or newer), so sets don’t need typing in. Each workout syncs to Strava with its exercises, calories and muscle groups. Fitbod starts with a free trial and then charges a monthly or yearly subscription. Motra has a free plan, and Pro (more exercises detected, unlimited AI workouts) comes with a two-week trial, then monthly or yearly.

All 27 at a glance

“Reads from Strava” means the app asks for access to your activities and works on them. “Sends to Strava” means it uploads workouts it recorded. “Reads and writes” means it reads your activities and edits or adds to them on Strava; “both ways” means it imports your Strava activities and also uploads its own. Prices are list prices from each maker’s site or its US App Store listing in September 2026. The full catalog is searchable on the search page.

Where did Strava’s own app directory go?

Strava used to keep a public list of partner apps at strava.com/apps, split into categories such as Performance Analysis, Prints and Training. It now sends logged-out visitors to the login page: a request to strava.com/apps returned a redirect to strava.com/login on September 22, 2026, and the category pages redirect there too. The Wayback Machine’s last normal capture of the page is from June 11, 2026, and its first capture of the redirect is from June 27, 2026. Strava’s help article on compatible devices and apps still links to the directory. No reason appears on Strava’s help or press pages.
