If you ever pulled out Google Timeline to settle a “where were we in 2019?” debate, you’ve already noticed it’s not the same product. Dawarich brings that capability back, except you host it yourself, and Google never sees the data.

VeloMate

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re a cyclist who’s ever wondered whether Strava Premium is worth it—or resented paying $80/year just to see your Normalized Power and training curves—VeloMate might be your answer. It’s a self-hosted analytics platform that calculates all the advanced metrics Strava hides behind a paywall, stores everything locally, and gives you interactive Grafana dashboards to obsess over your training data.

Think of it as TeslaMate for cyclists: automatic data ingestion from Strava, local computation of sophisticated fitness metrics (CTL, ATL, TSB, Normalized Power, Intensity Factor), and pre-built dashboards that actually make sense. No subscriptions, no black boxes, no proprietary algorithms you can’t trust.

What is VeloMate?

is an open-source cycling data platform built for self-hosters, data enthusiasts, and cyclists who want complete control over their training analytics.
