I always see posts asking for the "best apps", so I thought it might be fun to flip the script. I originally thought this would be mobile-focused, but honestly I do the same thing on desktop.

I'd also be interested in any tools/techniques that help you achieve this. PWAs, scripts, mobile, desktop, whatever.

Dunno if this fits the bill but there are apps which dont have the same features as the web. Strava for example doesnt let you download a gps track of rides of your friends without premium. The feature is available for free on the website when in desktop mode.

So you just log in via the browser on your phone and it allows you to download your gps data?
