Strava Integration

With the new Strava integration for Day One, you can automatically capture your workouts and adventures, so every ride, run, hike, or walk becomes part of your story in Day One.

This feature is available with Day One Premium in version 2025.22 and above of Day One for iPhone and iPad, Day One for Android, and Day One on the web.

Every imported Strava activity appears as a Day One journal entry, where you can add your own reflections, photos, videos, or notes. You can also view your Strava journal in List, Calendar, Media, or Map view to see your progress from every angle.

Key Features

  • Smart Sync: Automatically imports your entire Strava activity history, beginning with your most recent activities. Older activities will continue importing in the background until your full history is synced.
  • Activity Details: Each entry includes your activity’s title, description, stats, and private notes.
  • Metadata Capture: Automatically records location and weather for each activity.
  • Interactive Maps: Relive your routes with a detailed, interactive map embedded in each entry.
  • Media + Stats: See your photos, distances, elevation, pace, and other key details at a glance.
  • Private by Design: All imported Strava entries are fully encrypted and visible only to you.

Important Notes

Note: When you first connect Strava, your most recent activities will appear in Day One. Additional past activities will continue to import in the background over time. New workouts from Strava will sync to Day One automatically, usually within a few moments.

Strava limits its API usage using both a 15-minute and a daily request limit, as documented here in Strava’s documentation. We try our best to work with this limit to get all Strava activities synced up as much as possible, but depending on the number of activities at any given moment, that can sometimes take a lot longer, as the Strava-imposed limit applies to all users.

How to Resync Entries

If you edit an activity in Strava—for example, by adding a description—the change usually won’t update automatically in Day One. You can manually refresh or resync the entry in Day One to pull in the latest updates.

Note: If you’ve made any edits in the Day One entry, those changes will be overwritten after the refresh or resync.

FAQs

What does the Strava integration do?

With this integration, your Strava activities are automatically imported into Day One as journal entries. It’s a simple way to capture your fitness achievements and milestones without extra effort.

Do I need a Day One Premium account to use the integration?

Yes. The Strava integration requires a Day One Premium account.

Why would I want to send my Strava activity to Day One?

Bringing your Strava activities into Day One helps you see your fitness journey as part of your larger life story. Instead of keeping your workouts exclusively in a fitness app, you can connect them with your reflections, photos, and memories. It makes your exercise experiences part of your personal journal.

How long will it take for all my Strava activities to appear in Day One?

Day One imports your most recent activities right away. The rest of your Strava history will backfill automatically over time.

What are some examples of how I could use this?

• Document your training progress as you prepare for a race or event, like a marathon or triathlon.
• Reflect on how a workout made you feel, not just how far you went.
• Pair your runs, rides, or walks with photos and journal notes from the same day.
• Celebrate milestones l(ike your longest ride, fastest run, or most scenic hike) alongside your other life achievements.
• Look back at your workouts through On This Day in future years.
• Print your Strava journal from Day One as a way to document your marathon training journey from start to finish.

Which platforms support the Strava integration?

The Strava integration is currently available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) in version 2025.22 or higher, and in Day One on the web.
Support for Android is coming soon.

Will my Strava images, videos, and maps appear in Day One?

Yes. Day One pulls in images and videos from your Strava activity. For maps, Day One rebuilds the map using the activity data, so it won’t be the exact same map image you see in Strava, but it will accurately reflect your route.

Does the integration include steps from Strava?

No. Strava does not provide step counts for activities like walks or runs. While Day One calculates steps based on distance and pace (using the same method Strava uses), the numbers may not match exactly. Expect small differences in step counts.

Can I resync an entry if I edit an activity in Strava?

Yes. Day One doesn’t receive notifications for all changes you make in Strava after an activity has synced. If you edit or update an activity in Strava, you can resync it in Day One. This will refresh the entry with the latest data from Strava and overwrite the existing one.
