About GoRekapp

🌟 Our Mission

GoRekapp exists to enrich your fitness activities with meaningful weather context. We believe that understanding the conditions during your workouts helps you better appreciate your achievements and plan future activities.

Whether you conquered a hill in scorching heat, pushed through a headwind, or enjoyed perfect running conditions, weather is an integral part of your fitness story that deserves to be remembered.

🛠️ How It Started

GoRekapp was born from a simple observation: Strava has weather data for Premium users... but why pay when you can build it yourself? 😄

As developers and fitness enthusiasts, we wanted to create a free alternative that automatically adds weather information to Strava activities. What started as a weekend project has grown into a service that helps athletes worldwide document their training conditions.

🎯 What We Do

GoRekapp seamlessly integrates with your Strava account to:

• Automatically detect new activities via Strava webhooks
• Retrieve precise weather data for your activity location and time
• Update your activity description with temperature, feels-like temperature, weather conditions, and wind speed
• Preserve your original descriptions by appending weather information

All of this happens automatically in the background - no manual intervention required!

🌐 Our Technology

GoRekapp is built with modern, reliable technology:

• Backend: .NET Core web application with robust error handling
• Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript SPA with responsive design
• Integrations: Strava API OAuth 2.0 and Open-Meteo weather API
• Security: Industry-standard OAuth authentication and data encryption
• Hosting: Cloud-based infrastructure for reliability and scalability

🔐 Privacy & Security

Your trust is paramount to us. We:

• Only access the minimum necessary Strava data (activity locations and times)
• Use secure OAuth authentication - we never see your Strava password
• Don't store your activity data permanently
• Comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations
• Allow you to disconnect and delete your data at any time

Read our full Privacy Policy for complete details.

• Serve fitness enthusiasts regardless of their budget
• Continuously improve and expand our service
• Support the broader fitness community
