Prevent some activity types from syncing with Strava

I use Strava for cycling and running, and tracking perfomance, metrics and social networking.

I would like to use some of the other "activity" types (eg. breathwork) on my Garmin watch, and don't mind having it show up on my Garmin Connect account, but I don't want those types of activities automatically synced to Strava and displayed in my feed.

Is there any way to prevent these other activity types from being synced?

You can set different rules and actions like mute all activities but run…

Yes. There is a donate button to use if you like it and use it.

I haven't tried it, but you could also use https://strautomator.com/ to automatically mute certain types of activities. Muted activities will still be available on your profile, but they won't show up in your follower's feeds. (Strava doesn't allow activity privacy to be changed by 3rd-party apps)

You can set different rules and actions like mute all activities but run and ride.

Interesting tool, is it free?

Yes. There is a donate button to use if you like it and use it.
