It adds a short line to your Strava activities with your running totals for the year or all-time, and a 🎉 line when you cross a round number like 1,000 km. Your own text is never changed: the facts go underneath.

Switch it on once from the card at the top of the app. From then on, every activity you upload gets its facts a few seconds after it reaches Strava. Activities from before you switched it on are never touched. You can write only when you cross a milestone, and skip private, virtual, commute or manual activities.

Yes. Activities written automatically show "Added automatically" with an Undo button, and the latest ones are also listed in Settings. Undo removes only our line and keeps your text. You can also edit the description on Strava as usual.

The usual reasons:

• It was uploaded before you switched on auto-publish.
• It was recorded more than a week before it reached Strava: an import, a re-upload or a duplicate, not a new upload.
• Its sport isn't one Barefacts counts: runs, rides and swims (e-bike rides are left out).
• That sport is switched off in Settings, or one of your Skip filters applies.
• You chose "Only milestones" and it didn't cross one.
• Strava didn't answer in time. Barefacts tries again for two days; the list in Settings shows "Will retry" meanwhile.

You can always add the facts by hand with "Add to Strava".

Barefacts counts every run, ride and swim of yours, private ones included, by the year in your own time zone. It leaves out e-bike rides and counts virtual rides and runs with their sport. Strava's own figures can use other rules, so small differences are normal.

Yes. Facts follow the app's language unless you pick one in Settings → More options → Facts language: English, Spanish, French, German or Italian.

"Delete my data", in the menu under your profile picture, deletes everything we keep, disconnects Barefacts from Strava and logs you out. Revoking access from Strava (Settings → My Apps) does the same. Facts already in your descriptions stay; undo them first if you want them gone.

As little as possible, and Strava data for seven days at most. The privacy page explains exactly what, why and for how long.
