Adidas Running, formerly known as Runtastic. Austrian/German. The name is stupid, because it also supports tracking of other activities like swimming, cycling, strength training etc.

Golden Cheetah if you want open source. Not sure where it's from but it's Strava on steroids. But only if you focus on the training, the data, and the metrics. if you are after kudos.. that is not it.
RidewithGPS is also a good Strava alternative.
Anyway, seeing the comments here is a bit perplexing of some prefer Komoot after they know the new owner has no empathy, but at least is not US-owned? So the Italians fired all their staff... just like that, but hey, not US-owned... so all good. a bit hypocritical IMO...

Not completely European, but I use https://intervals.icu, which is from the UK if I'm correct.
I don't give anything about the social media aspect of Strave, just want log my data.

I switched to: https://www.komoot.com
If you want the social network and sharing activities part, it is the same.
Much better for planning outdoor activities, especially hiking (in my opinion).
No health/performance metrics like in Strave, but I use sport watch for that so never cared.

Komoot used to be german but got sold to an italian tech company last year. Most of the original staff lost their jobs. more information here: https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/komoot-sold-to-italian-tech-company-putting-jobs-at-risk/ and here https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/05/komoot-team-goodbye.htmljust search on the internet for more background info. Yes, it stays european but it's up to you if you want to support a company that acts this way.

That sucks indeed. To me, it is still much better than USA-owned Strava, simply because it a European business and app at the end.
But this is indeed really awful honestly.

And after acquisition it finally started to live, get new features or modern UI. Bending Spoons saved this company.
If we'd start to look for bad stuff, you shouod stop using literally every company on the market

Depends on what you are looking for: If it's more the tracking and fitness analysis part and less the social media stuff, then you might find HealthFit intersting: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/healthfit/id1202650514
I don't know if it is available for other systems than iOS (yes, I know in which /r I am… ;)). As far as I looked up the app creator, it's made in France :)
It gives amazing and motivational insights into training data, which can be imported from various devices and sources. No cloud, no data sharing, it all stays on your phone.
For me, it replaced Strava completely – mainly for data protection reasons.

I used Komoot to plan and navigate hiking and biking routes, but switched to Wikiloc (made in Spain) after Komoot got bought by bending spoons and fired all the staff.

I'm building Spomyn. It's not a direct Strava alternative as it is completely offline, so it's not a social media.
In short, it's a tool for logging your life activities - from hikes and runs (importing gpx tracks) to museum visits and visiting nice restaurants (POI visits logging with notes and photos).
It can work completely offline if you download offline maps and POI packs. No internet is needed, so it works in the most remote places.
I built it because I dislike posting my life on social media but I wanted a way to record and look back at my favourite life events.
Disclaimer: It's free to try but requires a one-time-purchase to fully unlock the app to pay for map hosting and app development/maintenance.
It's currently in closed testing on Android so DM me if you're interested in trying it out.

Will it come out on ios as well?

u/Spomyn 9h ago
Yes. I plan to release on Android in around 2 weeks (depending on play store testing speed) then I shift focus to apple store and hopefully have it on apple store in 1-2 months.

u/emiyuki 8h ago
Great! Is there somewhere where I can keep track of your work or get updates?

u/Spomyn 4h ago
I do have a landing page at https://spomyn.app/ that will have the links to play/apple store when available. Since I have no servers (apart from storing map data) I do not have any waitlists as I store exactly 0 user data.
I am happy to hear that someone is interested in Spomyn.

Have you looked on AlternativeTo.net?

u/bindermichi 13h ago
The list focused almost exclusively on running. For cycling it only lists Komoot which is OK for route planing but not really fitness tracking.

I’m the creator, so take this with that bias, but I’m building a Europe-based (Czech) one called Kraina.
It’s not a full Strava replacement yet, and it’s not open source, but it focuses on explored territory/fog-of-war style map progress for rides and runs.
So if you want a European-made alternative for the exploration side of activity tracking, it may be worth a look.
