Version 5.0.2

Three years down the road, our little workout-tracking baby has become a complete grown-up wellness tracker! This update comes with a redesigned Wellbeing tab and a game changer: the Sleep section. We’ve put in the work—8+ months of testing various sleep devices and apps and consulting with professionals—so all you have to do is... sleep.

Sleep plays a crucial role in how we feel in our day-to-day lives; with this update, we hope we’ve made it effortless to understand and improve yours. From your fall asleep time to how much restorative sleep (deep + REM) you’re getting, our sleep analysis provides a clear overview each morning. Check your past 14 nights with a tap, see trends in sleep duration, consistency, and stages, and spot patterns that could help fine-tune your sleep hygiene. We genuinely hope this is another step towards grabbing the bull by its horns: the bull being your wellbeing.

WELLBEING TAB
Yorhart keeps grinning at the top, but what’s happening below has slightly changed. We’ve split the Body Metrics and Health, as the first are straightforward metrics, and the latter are more complex body processes which demand more attention.

Settings
In the top-right corner, the Wellbeing screen’s settings allow you to customize which metrics appear and their order.

Body Metrics
Daily vital health metrics now sit right below your well-being status. You can choose between two layouts: the familiar extended view or a brief, more condensed overview.

Health
It includes Sleep and Period tracking, with more categories in future updates. The Period went through a cycle or two, and more changes are still to come.

SLEEP ANALYSIS
Tapping on the Sleep card on Wellbeing will bring you to sleep analysis. In the upper-right corner, there’s a “Sleep Goal” card. Setting your goal helps us tailor the data more accurately to you, so follow the on-screen instructions for optimal personalization.

Sleep Quality
Each morning, get a concise description of your sleep quality and its metrics. You can check sleep quality for the past 14 nights in the calendar picker at the top of the screen.

Short-term Overview (sleep duration, consistency, and stages)
Displaying an overview of the past nights is a great tool to check how on-point your sleep hygiene is and where you could improve it. Are you going to bed/waking up at relatively the same time, and how does that show in sleep stages distribution?

About Sleep - Insights
Something so natural to humanity but still such a mystery to most of us. We have prepared seven insights on sleep; they should help us understand sleep phenomena better, their stages, the importance of sleep hygiene, guidance on improving it, etc.

Team Recommendations
For optimal results, sleep with your Apple Watch on your wrist using native sleep tracking.
Using third-party apps that measure sleep based on sound is less reliable than tracking with the watch.
To see data in your Sleep segment, you must have at least one recorded sleep session in the last 14 days.

No Sleep Debt?
Correct. We decided to avoid the “sleep debt” concept, as it has no scientific background. We learned short-term overviews are a reliable way to keep us in check and help establish healthier sleep hygiene.

Whether you’re a new onboard or a seasoned gentler passenger, you’re an integral part of our journey, and we love hearing from you:

Great alternative to built in goals

This app takes a different approach to encouraging fitness which is way more realistic than the built in monthly goals the Apple Watch gives you out of the box.

I’ve been finding my monthly challenges getting more and more intense, where the outcome seems to be getting you to just do more than last month every month. This is not sustainable and after getting the monthly challenge for the last 2 years, I’ve ended up with an activity goal that is simply out of reach.

Gentler Streak takes a different view and lets you look at your fitness over more than a single day, which is way more reflective of real life. If you work out heaps for a few days it tells you to rest. If you take a few rest days it encourages you back again. If you get sick or want to take a longer break it can account for that.

I’m pretty much converted off the Apple challenges now, and just work to keep my streak in a healthy range.

It’s well worth the subscription, and I’m glad I tried it. The developer is also super responsive and helpful answering questions.

Keeps getting better

With the new ability to rename workouts gentler streak is even better than ever. Apple should consider buying it and replacing their activity tracker as it is far superior. When iOS 18 is released with the ability to change the colour of icons it’ll be a total winner in every way.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on Gentler Streak. We're glad to hear you like the new features as much as we do ☺️ It's what keeps us motivated to do even better! Have a great day, Vid

Overreaching is totally off-putting

Even though I’ve read the explanation for the reason I keep getting the ‘overreaching’ notifications (gaps in exercising etc), I’ll be cancelling my subscription and deleting the app… Even after reading the explanation for the incorrect feedback, it’s really off-putting as I’m only doing light walks and light yoga, which I’m pretty sure even on a daily basis, should be okay for most people’s fitness levels. However, if there are any updates or fixes that may correct this in the near future, I would still be keen to know about these as other than this, it’s a great app.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. If you could drop by support@gentlerapps.com, I'll be happy to look into the issue and help you find a solution. Thank you, Vid
