About StrideFolk

StrideFolk exists for one reason: most "calorie calculator" results online are generic guesses dressed up as precision. We build a small set of calculators, each one built around a specific, cited formula (Mifflin-St Jeor, pace-cadence-stride relationships, and so on), and we'd rather have five calculators done properly than fifty done lazily.

How it's built

Every formula on this site is checked against the primary source cited on its page before it goes live, and each calculator ships with automated tests against known-good reference values so a code change can't silently break the math. StrideFolk is built and maintained independently — see the Methodology page for how we verify and update calculators.

No accounts, no tracking of your numbers

StrideFolk doesn't require signup, and the values you enter into a calculator stay in your browser — saved results (if you choose to save any) live in your device's local storage only, never on our servers. See the Privacy Policy for details.
