Garmin lets you connect your device as an USB storage device and manage everything manually though.

I do this to completely skip online uploading, and am keeping track of stats using a mashup of bash scripts and cli tools.

I feel like there has to be a middle ground between giving everything to an untrusted cloud and manually downloading raw data and building home grown tools to try and process and make sense of it. As a user, I don't want either of those extremes.

There is https://gadgetbridge.org, which seems like a cool project but I never used it since it is Android only and don't know how good the support actually is.

That sounds good and I will look into it.
