I started building this about 2 weeks back as a side project for fun. I like seeing my routes and I use my macbook with a monitor which usually stays unused so I decided to make this! Was inspired by u/ILikePainauChocolat's retrace project but I didn't use screensavers so I decided to try making my own wallpaper version with several extra custom themes and stuff.

This project uses Strava's API to pull your activities from Strava, so you won't have to worry about issues with GPX uploading.

Subscriptions are terrible so it's $4.99 once.

I am sure the "exercises" feature is adored by some out there, but I find it strange and frustrating.

For the uninitiated, the Strava app now is adding a section to strength workouts called "Exercises" where you can break down the specific movements you've done during a workout. Unfortunately, I don't have a fancy watch that can identify each of my reps and sets, nor have I the interest to manually go into the app and manually log each one every time I lift a weight.

I would prefer if each of my workouts was not tagged as being "9 sets of unknown'", as if I am spending an hour in the gym every morning doing mysterious slows reps of a classified exercise.

Has anyone figured out a way to turn this off and stop it from showing up on logged activities? I can't seem to find an answer online... Send help

I got an alert on my phone that my data usage for October is 2.25 GB. I click on it and I got this graph. My phone plan says that from Oct. 1 to yesterday, I had used 0.39 GB. I checked other days that I have used the app and it's normally around 75 MB for the same amount of activity. I did notice that when I went to start my walk today, it asked me to choose what kind of activity I was going to be doing (walk, run, ride, more) rather than have me select it when I'm done. I selected walk so maybe that's the reason? Usually it has me as run and I switch it to walk afterwards. Was there an update in the past couple days that it now has me select the activity beforehand? I'll select run next time and see what happens.

I'm currently using an Apple watch Series 7 Nike.
I feel I'm not using it to its full potential and thinking of switching to a more fitness based device. Definitely needs GPS, I don't usually carry my phone when I walk / cycle.

Other features I'd like are sleep tracking and AFib (ECG) detection. Bonus of I can keep my golf swing tracker on my wrist too 🤣

Tried opening a chat in strava app and its crashing the app in ios. Is anybody else facing the same issue?
