Synced Activities & Supported Types

Which activities are shown in the Feed and My Activities, and why some are hidden.

Glans syncs activities from your connected devices (e.g. Garmin, Strava). For now, only some of your synced activities are shown in the Feed and My Activities. This page explains how we display them and which types are fully supported.

How Activities Are Shown

Fully supported: Run, Swim, Bike (Ride)

Activities that are Run, Swim, or Bike/Ride (including virtual ride and common variants) are shown with the full card:

  • Map or photos (when available)
  • Distance, time, elevation
  • Efficiency and peer comparison (PPI)
  • Full stats and details

These are the activity types we focus on for performance insights and leaderboards.

Other activities with distance

Any other activity type that has a distance (e.g. hiking, walking, other cardio) is shown as a compact card:

  • Activity name, sport type, date
  • Distance and time only
  • No map, efficiency, or PPI on the card (you can still open the activity for basic details)

Activities with no distance: not shown

Activities that do not have a distance (e.g. weight training, yoga, stretching, general workout) are not shown in the Feed or My Activities list. They are still synced and stored; we simply don’t display them in the main lists for now.

If you don’t see some of your synced activities, it’s likely because:

  1. They are a type we don’t list (e.g. weight training) — we hide those when they have no distance, or
  2. They are a non–Run/Swim/Bike type — we show those as compact cards only if they have distance.

Why it works this way

We’re focused on running, swimming, and cycling for performance metrics, peer comparison, and leaderboards. Other types are shown in a compact form when they have distance, and activities without distance (like strength work) are hidden from the main lists to keep the experience focused. We may expand support for more types in the future.

Need help?

If you think an activity should be visible and it isn’t, check that it has a distance recorded. For Run, Swim, or Bike activities with distance that still don’t appear, see Troubleshooting or contact support.
