What is Tapiriik?
Are you overwhelmed by the number of fitness platforms and smart devices on the market? Tapiriik wants to help.
Tapiriik is a synchronization system that helps you synchronize your fitness activities between major platforms and tools – including Garmin Connect, Runkeeper, Strava, TrainingPeaks, and other popular platforms.
Tapiriik will sync your fitness data as well as your biometric data – including your heart rate, cadence, power, and temperature. It’s an open source project created by Collin Fair.
Tapiriik is priced at $2 per year. You start connecting platforms online through Tapiriik.com. There’s also a handy Android app. Whether you use the app or the website, Tapiriik is surprisingly easy to use.
How Does Tapiriik Work?
Tapiriik syncs your fitness activities across multiple platforms. It also syncs your heart rate, cadence, power, and temperature data.
Using Tapiriik is straightforward. You visit Tapiriik.com, then click “Connect” under each of your connected platforms. Currently, compatible platforms for Tapiriik include:
- Runkeeper
- Strava
- Garmin Connect
- Endomondo
- SportTracks
- Dropbox
- Traiing Peaks
- Ride with GPS
- Train As One
- Pulsstory
- Motivato
- VeloHero

You click on your desired platform, then log into your account for that platform. This allows you to give Tapiriik authorization to access your Runkeeper account, for example. It’s similar to the process used whenever you’re connecting health platforms together.
After you’ve connected all your services together, you just click “Synchronize now” to sync health data between platforms. All supported activities in your account are synchronized – not just new ones. Tapiriik will even sync manually-entered activities.
You can sync distance, speed, heart rate, cadence, power, calories burned, and temperature between supported services. Tapiriik will never modify or delete your activities. It’s just syncing activities between apps.
To add more services in the future, just visit Tapiriik.com and click “Connect” underneath your desired service. Tapiriik regularly adds new platforms.
There’s also a Tapiriik app that you can use for Android. That app is very well-reviewed (average rating of 4.3 out of 5). Most reviewers describe that it works as advertised to sync data across health platforms and apps.
Tapiriik Summary
Ultimately, Tapiriik is a handy tool that syncs data across accounts. If you use multiple health platforms and apps, then you know how annoying it is to manage all of that data – and the glitches that occur when trying to share that data.
Thanks to Tapiriik, you pay $2 a year for a service that syncs data across all apps and platforms.
The platform works with a growing number of health services, and it integrates with popular platforms like Runkeeper and Strava. You can start using Tapiriik today by visiting Tapiriik.com.
