What's new in freddy: week of June 1, 2026

2026-06-07

This was one of the busiest weeks freddy has had. Two sources reached general availability, Polar and Garmin data got a lot deeper, the dashboard was rebuilt, and there is a new way to use freddy from a terminal.

Garmin and Airthings are now generally available

Garmin Connect is out of beta and open to everyone. Airthings is too, bringing indoor air quality and radon into freddy as the first environmental source, so your air can sit alongside your sleep and training.

Deeper Polar data

Polar History is now offered to every Polar user, which pulls in years of past training rather than just data from the moment you connected. freddy also now reads heart-rate time-in-zone, Z1 through Z5, for Polar workouts, so you can ask how much time you spent in each zone.

Richer Garmin activities

Garmin activities now include power, elevation, cadence, pace, and temperature, each attributed to the specific device the activity came from. SpO2, respiration, and stress are now captured too.

A redesigned dashboard

The dashboard was rebuilt around five clear areas: Overview, Connections, Data, Activity, and Settings, with support chat and a product updates view built in.

freddy on the command line

The new freddy CLI lets you sign in, connect a source, and query your data straight from a terminal. It is handy for scripts and for headless agents that do not use a chat window.
