Athalyze is a training log for athletes who wear more than one device. It runs on iPhone (including iPhone Duo), iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Run with an Apple Watch and a Garmin, or ride with a bike computer while wearing an Oura ring, and Athalyze merges the recordings into one activity. It works with Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Strava, and Google Health devices like Pixel Watch and Fitbit. For each metric it picks the most reliable data, and it keeps the originals so you can see where every number came from. Athalyze is free, with an optional Athalyze Pro subscription for Training Load, Readiness, and deeper analysis. Multi-Device Merging • Recordings of the same workout are combined automatically • Set device priority for each metric if you prefer one source • Compare devices on one chart, each in its own color.
