What’s New

Version 5.0.4

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:

Editors' Notes

A more balanced approach to fitness, that rewards little bits of exercise instead of pushing you to your limits. Delightfully designed graphics and rest-day suggestions showcase the kindly encouraging level of care.

A great way to track wellbeing and fitness

Love this app, it delivers on its intent to provide a different approach to tracking fitness and wellbeing - that is more considered and less go, go, go, at all costs.

I feel it’s supporting me to make good decisions and look after myself (as much as an app can do!).

Thanks to the developers for continuing to invest and improve the app. The recent additional are great.

Developer Response ,

I really like this app but…

I really like this app but I feel like it yells at me for working out more than it thinks I should. 😭 I can’t imagine why when I am only doing my second workout for the week?! The only thing I could think of is that my activity goals in general are lower for me as I didn’t want to set really high objectives. But I feel like it is punishing me instead for working out. However, I adore the UI of this app and small touches here and there whenever I reach milestones. I just wish there was a way to adjust it more to suit my activity levels.

Developer Response ,

Hello hello!

Thank you for giving Gentler Streak a go, and now let's see why “overreaching” could be creeping up on you, while feeling OK and not doing anything out of your ordinary.

Most possible reasons are:
- you are new to tracking activities or have just started using Apple Watch (providing us less than 60 days of info)
- you are coming back from an injury, illness, break (longer than 14 days)
- your active life happens in bursts, and those bursts are usually intense, followed by days of inactivity
- you are new to being regularly active, and are still building your fitness base

If any of the above fits the shoe, expect the app to stabilize within 10-14 days - try being active regularly through this time. Until then keep living your life the way you are used to, and ignore the messages. Once we have enough data, we will be able to start guiding you - as when there is enough data, app reflects your body fitness and should therefore suit your activity levels.

If none of the above seems right, please send a screenshot of:
- your Activity Path
- Summary of the past 3 workouts (at least one that sent you overreaching) with heart rate zones

Send it to support@gentlerstreak.com

Let’s go from here!

Thank you,
Katarina
