Strava Kudo All: Give kudos to all your friends in one click
If you’re an active Strava user, you know that kudos – those small virtual high-fives – are a big part of the experience. But when you follow dozens or hundreds of athletes, manually handing out kudos can feel like a chore. That’s where the Strava Kudo All Chrome extension comes in – a simple tool that lets you give kudos to everyone on your feed with one click.
What is Strava Kudo All?
Strava Kudo All is a lightweight Chrome plugin that adds a new button to your Strava homepage. Once installed, you’ll see a button labeled “Kudo All” above your feed. With a single click, it will automatically give kudos to every activity displayed from the last 24 hours.
🖥️ Note: This only works on the desktop version of Strava, not in the mobile app.
Who created it?
The extension was developed by Thomas Ciles and is freely available in the Chrome Web Store. While it’s a small independent project, it already has over 3,000 users – and counting.
Why should you use it?
- Save time: No more endless scrolling and clicking.
- Support your friends: Never miss a workout from someone you follow.
- Gain visibility: Often, kudos you give will come back to you.
- Simple to use: Install it, click the button, and you’re done.
Is it ethical?
Some people argue that this kind of automation goes against the “spirit of Strava,” where support should feel genuine. But let’s be honest – this tool simply makes it easier to do something you’d probably do anyway. And since only a small fraction of users take advantage of it, most kudos remain authentic.
How to install the extension?
- Open Google Chrome.
- Visit the Chrome Web Store.
- Click “Add to Chrome.”
- Go to your Strava feed.
- Look for the Kudo All button and click it.
- Done!
Who is it for?
- Cyclists, runners, and triathletes with lots of Strava friends.
- Creators or influencers who want to stay engaged.
- Anyone who wants to streamline their interactions on the platform.
Kudo All vs. the Algorithm: Real support or automation?
Strava may not be a typical social media platform, but it shares many of the same dynamics – visibility equals recognition. And while Strava Kudo All is a fairly innocent extension, it serves as a reminder of how automation influences online communities.
Even in a fitness-focused space like Strava, things like likes and kudos act as social currency. Whether it’s manual or automated, interaction creates engagement – and that’s what keeps communities active.
Conclusion
If you want to stay connected with your Strava circle and boost your presence without spending hours scrolling, Strava Kudo All is a must-try tool. It’s easy to use, saves time, and could even help your own rides and runs get more attention.
Because even in the world of sports, support matters – and sometimes all it takes is a single click.
