Thinks first, briefly
Claude decides how much to reason before it answers: a line for “Rain at 6?”, a proper look at your plan, recovery and calendar for “Should I train hard today?”. Replies still fit a glance.
For Garmin watches and Edge bike computers
Agent Remote
Train hard, work hard.

Training companion
Fits training into real life
Your plan, the session on your Garmin, what actually happened, and the next step: one loop, adjusted with you, from your wrist.
- In short
- A Garmin app that lets you ask Claude from your watch or Edge: a training companion with today’s session, checked workouts, debriefs from your laps, a weekly review and coaching on the ride screen, built on your Garmin data.
- Works on
- Garmin watches and Edge bike computers with Connect IQ, plus a free watch face and Ride data field.
- Price
- Agent Remote $2.99 once. Agent Remote for Edge, the face and the Ride field are free. All in Garmin’s Connect IQ Store.
- You need
- Your own Anthropic API key (not a Claude Pro or Max plan) and the Garmin Connect app on your phone. Anthropic bills you for what Claude uses.
- Make it yours
- Teach Claude in plain words: up to 50 standing instructions and 10 automations, which it follows with every question.
- Your data
- Goes to the relay at agent.falkster.com and to Anthropic to answer you. The relay keeps it for days, not months, and stores your key encrypted.

Plan
Tell Claude the plan you follow, or ask it to plan your week. It keeps each session’s day, sport, purpose and duration.
Session on your Garmin
“What’s my workout today?” Send it to your watch, checked first, or shorten it to the time you have.
What actually happened
A debrief from Garmin’s summary, kept apart from how you said it felt, which goes in your training journal.
Adjust, with you
A weekly review of planned vs done. Claude proposes next week; you confirm each change with a tap.
Claude works from what you tell it and the Garmin data you share. It can’t read your calendar unless you connect it (read-only), so tell it the time you have.

Why Claude on your wrist
A watch gives an assistant a few words and a few seconds. Claude makes them count: it reasons about your day before it answers, follows the instructions you give it, and uses the relay’s tools instead of guessing.
Follows your instructions
Up to 50 standing instructions go with every question, and Claude follows them: your zones, your work hours, your own shortcut words. The rules and tools are cached, so a long setup stays cheap.
Does the work with tools
About 50 tools on the relay: it builds and checks workouts, reads your Garmin data and calendar, keeps your plan and journal, and searches the web, then tells you what it did.
Honest about what it knows
Measured, reported and inferred stay apart on every card, a missing number is said to be missing, and anything that changes your plan or leaves the relay waits for your tap.
Pick your Claude on your settings page: Claude Opus 5.5 · Claude Sonnet 5.5 · Claude Haiku 5.5.
How it works

Nothing to paste into anything. The relay runs Claude for you, with your own Anthropic API key.

Features
Everything Claude can do from your wrist
Built for a glance between intervals: big type, clear colours, and nothing that buzzes unless you asked for it.
Measured, reported, inferred: never mixed up
Every card says where each line comes from, so advice never passes for data and how you felt never passes for a measurement.
- Garmin measured numbers your watch recorded
- You reported how it felt, in your words
- Claude Claude’s read and next step
- Not available what it couldn’t see
Swim debrief
Garmin measured2,300 m in 58 min. Planned: 2,400 m.
You reported“Legs heavy after travel.”
ClaudeClose to plan. Keep Friday’s swim easy.
Not availablePer-length splits and SWOLF aren’t available to watch apps.
Coaching, not medical advice.
Today’s session
- Claude keeps your training plan: tell it the plan you follow, or ask it to plan your week.
- “What’s my workout today?” shows the goal, duration and first step, with Send to watch, Shorten and Explain.
- Plan changes are shown first and saved only when you confirm with a tap.
Checked workouts and routes
- Structured workouts with targets land in your device’s Workouts list, and routes in Courses, the next time you open the app.
- The relay totals each workout’s time, distance and steps, and Claude checks them against what you asked before sending.
- The app shows whether a workout is waiting or already on your watch. Pool sets come in multiples of your pool length.
Debrief, journal, weekly review
- After a workout, a debrief card and one question: how hard did that feel?
- Your answer and a short note go in a training journal with that workout, as reported by you, never a diagnosis.
- A weekly review of planned vs done for swim, bike, run and strength, which asks before drafting next week.
Built on your Garmin data
- Heart rate, resting heart rate, stress, Body Battery, Pulse Ox, respiration, steps, calories, floors, intensity minutes, recovery time, VO2 max and finished workouts, if you share them.
- Claude reads them only when it needs them, and never guesses a number it doesn’t have.
- With Agent Remote Ride on the activity screen, laps too: swim sets, interval results and pacing, computed by the relay. Sleep score, HRV status and training readiness aren’t available to Connect IQ apps, so Claude says so.
Ask, remember, automate
- Quick prompts everywhere (your own words, too) and typing on watches with a keyboard, with up to three follow-up buttons on each reply.
- Web search for anything current, naming the source.
- Memories (a goal race, an injury, your units) and automations, like a 7:00 briefing that leads with today’s session. See and delete them on your settings page.
Fast when it matters
- Live updates: with the app open, replies arrive within a second or two.
- Optional instant phone alerts through the free ntfy app, shown on your watch like any notification.
- Agent Remote Ride puts Claude’s status on your activity screen; “Next from Claude” sits on any watch face that takes a complication.
On the ride screen
- Agent Remote Ride records your laps for the debrief: heart rate, power, cadence, and pool lengths and SWOLF when you swim.
- Fuel reminders at the rhythm you set, and a few short cues Claude prepared for a long session.
- Agree on your watch and it loads today’s workout at the start, then shows step, time left and target.
Your day, your data
- Connect your calendar (read-only) and Claude fits sessions around your meetings.
- Ideas and coach summaries go to your own webhook, only after you tap Send on the watch.
- A data check shows what arrived and what’s missing; rate any card that’s wrong.
All features, and what each needs →
What it can’t do
- Send email or messages to anyone, book, buy or call. Claude says so and offers a reminder, a note or an automation instead. The only thing it sends is a note to your own webhook, after you tap Send.
- Read your email or task apps. Your calendar only if you connect it, and never to change it.
- Coach you mid-interval: Garmin’s own workout screens guide each step; Agent Remote Ride shows the step and target only for a workout it loaded, and Claude’s text refreshes at most every 5 minutes.
- Speak its replies: you read them on screen, for now.
Make it yours
It does what you teach it
Give Claude standing instructions in plain words, and it follows them with every question: your zones, your work hours, the meetings that never move, what to do with an idea at kilometre 8, and shortcut words of your own. Up to 50 instructions and 10 automations, changed whenever your life does.
Workouts and training
- “My threshold pace is 4:35 per km, my FTP is 265 W and my max heart rate is 186. Use them for every workout target.”
- “If my Body Battery is under 30 in the morning, make the session easy and say why in one line.”
Your work day
- “Before suggesting a session, check my calendar: keep 30 minutes free before my first meeting and after training.”
- “When I say 'next meeting', give me its time, place and 3 questions to ask, based on its title.”
Ideas, tasks and focus
- “When I say 'idea', write a short title and a one-line summary and offer to send it to my webhook.”
- “When I say 'plan my day', give me one card: my meetings, the best training window and one thing to prep.”

Free
Garmin sells no paid apps on Edge, so it’s free there. Agent Remote Face and Agent Remote Ride are free too.

FAQ
Questions
Do I need a Claude Pro or Max plan?
No, and it wouldn’t be enough: you need an Anthropic API key, which you create at console.anthropic.com. The API is billed separately from claude.ai plans, per use: typically 5 to 15 cents a question with Claude Opus 5.5, about half with Sonnet 5.5 and under a cent with Haiku 5.5. Set a monthly spend limit there.
Can I change how Claude works for me?
Yes, and that’s where Agent Remote gets powerful. Tell Claude standing instructions in plain words (“Remember: when I say brief me, lead with my first meeting”) and it follows them with every question. Up to 50 instructions, 10 scheduled automations and 6 quick prompts of your own, all on your settings page. Ideas to copy.
Which devices does it run on?
Garmin watches and Edge bike computers with Connect IQ 5.1 or newer: Forerunner, fēnix, epix, Enduro, Venu, vívoactive, Instinct (AMOLED), MARQ, D2, Descent and Approach watches; Edge 540, 550, 840, 850, 1040, 1050 and 1060, Edge Explore 2 and 3, and Edge MTB. No voice: the Claude API doesn’t take audio, so you type or tap. You also need the Garmin Connect app on your phone.
Can it book things or send messages for me?
No. Claude can’t send email or messages to anyone, book, buy or call. Ask anyway and it says so, then offers a reminder, a note or an automation instead. If you add a webhook on your settings page, it can send a note or a workout summary there, only after you tap Send on your watch.
Can it read my calendar or email?
Your calendar, if you connect its secret iCal address on your settings page: read-only, so Claude can fit sessions around your day. Never your email, messages or task apps, and it isn’t connected to your claude.ai account’s memory, projects or chats. If an agent of your own has that access, pair it without a key instead.
Where does my data go?
To this relay at agent.falkster.com, which keeps it for days, not years, and to Anthropic under your own API account when Claude needs it. Health data is shared only after you agree on the watch, category by category. The privacy policy has the details.
Can I use my own agent instead of Claude?
Yes. On the pairing page choose Pair without a key: you get an API token for your device, and any agent that can use an OpenAPI spec connects through the relay’s API. No Anthropic key is stored then.
Can I try it first?
Yes. On the pairing screen, press Select and choose Try the demo: a scripted demo fills the screens so you can see how it works, with no key. Settings › Leave the demo shows a pairing code.
Will it drain my battery?
It’s built not to. In the background the app checks in every 5 to 60 minutes (you choose; Garmin allows nothing shorter) with a small request through your phone. Live updates run only while the app is open. With phone alerts on, Claude’s messages arrive as ordinary phone notifications, so you can pick a long interval and still hear about things quickly.
Is it medical advice?
No. Agent Remote and Claude give coaching and general wellness information, not medical advice. Garmin’s readings are estimates. Talk to a doctor about health concerns, and in an emergency call your local emergency number.
Is Agent Remote made by Anthropic or Garmin?
No. It’s an independent app by falkster, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or Garmin.
