Descriptions
Written to be pasted straight into a draft. Pick the length that fits.
TrackTunes automatically adds the music you listened to during a workout to your Strava activity.
TrackTunes connects Strava and Spotify so the songs you listened to during a run or ride are added to your activity description automatically.
TrackTunes connects Strava and Spotify so the songs you listened to during a workout are added to your activity description automatically. It also finds your Power Songs (the tracks you consistently run faster to), builds playlists matched to your natural stride cadence, and plots every song onto the map of your route.
TrackTunes is a web app that links a runner or cyclist's Strava account to their Spotify account. Once the two are connected, every new activity gets its soundtrack appended to the Strava description automatically, in order, with no action from the athlete. The track list is only the entry point. Because TrackTunes lines up each song against the pace and cadence data inside the activity, it can tell you things no listening history can: which songs you reliably run faster to, what tempo your stride actually locks into, where in a route a particular track was playing, and whether you have finished an album across a training block. It then builds BPM-matched playlists from music you already listen to, tuned to your own cadence. TrackTunes is built and run by one person, Dave Hawkins, a runner and musician in Denver, Colorado. It won Strava's Up & Coming App Award in 2025.
About TrackTunes TrackTunes connects Strava and Spotify to automatically log the music behind every workout, then turns that history into insight: the songs that make you faster, the tempo that matches your stride, and playlists built from your own listening. Founded in 2025 by Denver runner and musician Dave Hawkins, TrackTunes won Strava's Up & Coming App Award at the inaugural Strava Developers Summit. It is free for your first 15 activities and $20 per year after that. More at tracktunes.app.
What it does
The full feature list, ready to trim into bullets.
Automatic music sharing. Connect once and every Strava activity gets its track list appended to the description, in play order. Power Songs. The songs you consistently run faster to, scored against your own pace rather than against other people. Cadence mixes. TrackTunes reads your run history to find your natural stride cadence, then builds a BPM-matched playlist from songs you already run to. Half-time and double-time matching means a 79 BPM track still locks to a 158 SPM stride. Songs on your route. Color-coded segments on the activity map show where each song was playing, ready to share to social. The Rhythm Section. Automatic BPM analysis across your whole running history, including the tempo where you actually run fastest. Album completion tracking. See which albums you have finished across a training block. Song segments and PRs. Full history and personal records for every individual song you have run to.
Screenshots
Free to use in coverage of TrackTunes. A mix of phone screenshots at native resolution (1179 x 2556) and wide desktop captures (2880 px), so there is something that fits whatever shape your layout needs.

TrackTunes appends the songs played during a workout to the Strava activity description automatically. The music block is lightened here to stand out against Strava's dark theme; everything in it is unedited.
Every activity gets a TrackTunes page: the route, the stats, and the soundtrack that played over it.
The tracks played during an activity, in order, each with the time it started and a link back to Spotify.
Power Songs ranks the tracks a runner consistently moves faster to, scored against their own pace, and flags the ones that match their stride.
A playlist built from the runner's own listening history and tuned to their measured stride cadence.
Every song a runner has run to, plotted by pace against cadence and colored by whether their stride locked in to the beat.
The tempo band where this runner is measurably fastest, drawn from their own history rather than a general recommendation.
How far a runner's stride sits from the beat of each song, and what it costs them in pace when it drifts.
Albums listened to end to end during activities, tracked automatically across a training block.
Every track of a completed album with the pace it was run at, and which ones were personal records.
A runner's most-played artists across their whole history, filtered to running and walking.
Each song gets its own history and personal records, ranked by the pace the runner held while it was playing.
The image TrackTunes generates for sharing: color-coded route segments showing where each song was playing.

Read the write-upStory angles
If you are looking for a hook rather than a product write-up, these are the threads worth pulling.
Strava already records where you went. TrackTunes records what was playing, so months later the activity feed reads like a music history.
Most "music and performance" coverage cites treadmill studies. TrackTunes measures the effect on your own outdoor runs, song by song, and publishes what falls out of it.
One runner and musician in Denver built the whole thing and won Strava's Up & Coming App Award roughly six months after launch, alongside far larger teams.
Rather than telling you to run at 180 SPM, TrackTunes detects the cadence you naturally hold and builds playlists around it, including half-time and double-time matches.
