Glink keeps your Garmin activities in sync across both worlds. If you own both a Garmin China (garmin.cn) and a Garmin Global (garmin.com / Garmin Connect) account, your runs, rides, and workouts are stuck on whichever side you recorded them. Glink moves them across, quickly and securely, without the manual export-import dance. WHAT GLINK DOES • Connect both your China and Global Garmin accounts • Browse activities from either region in one place, and compare across regions to see what is matched and what exists on only one side • Sync any activity from one region to the other in a single tap • Migrate your entire activity history between accounts • Smart de-duplication: activity type, start time, and duration must all agree, so nothing is copied twice • Sync structured workouts between accounts • Full sync history with per-activity status BILINGUAL Switch between English and 简体中文 instantly inside the app, with no restart and no digging through iOS Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your Garmin password is never stored; it goes to Garmin's own sign-in only • Credentials stay in the iOS Keychain; tokens are never logged • Activity files are downloaded, uploaded, then deleted immediately, never kept • No ads, no in-app purchases, no third-party analytics SDK • The developer runs no servers and cannot see your data • Background sync uses Apple's official BGTaskScheduler Something wrong?
