Question 10

Question 11

How is pwrdby different from TrackTunes or other Strava music apps?

Question 12

Question 13

Can I get a weekly running playlist based on my workouts?

Yes. pwrdby automatically builds a 'pwrdby Weekly' playlist on Spotify every Monday — curated from your most-played workout tracks over the past 7 days. No manual curation needed.

Question 14

Is there a Spotify Strava integration that works automatically?

Accepted Answer

pwrdby is the only free, fully automatic Spotify-Strava integration. It uses Strava webhooks so your music log appears in your activity description minutes after you finish a workout — no app to open, no sync button to tap.
