Strava just announced API restrictions + a paid MCP. Reminder that Endurain exists, a fully self-hosted, open-source fitness tracker alternative
Hi Reddit, João from Endurain here! With the latest news from Strava I had to take the change to promote a little bit Endurain.
Also with this change I will need to rethink the Strava integration.
If you haven’t seen it yet, Strava just sent out an email announcing a wave of API changes: new tiers, subscription requirements for developers, intermediary platforms being cut off, and an official MCP that’s paywalled behind a Strava subscription. The writing has been on the wall for a while, your fitness data, their rules.
I’ve been building Endurain as a self-hosted alternative for exactly this reason. You host it, you own it, no subscriptions, no API policy changes that break your tools overnight. It’s actively developed and I’d love feedback from this community.
