What’s New

Version 4.8

To celebrate Yorhart’s 3rd birthday (yes, on September 2nd it’s been 3 years since we launched version 1.0, sent young Yorhart into the world, and started biting our nails to see what and who would come back), here is an all-in-one workout journal!

A goal we have been working towards since May. Adding your side of the story to the workout summary—changing the workout title, adding reflections with notes, including photos, adjusting perceived effort, and favouriting special sessions—makes the workout tracking complete and a true reflection of your journey!

NEW
Photos
Import photos from your workout to your workout summary and make them memorable—be it the lovely outdoors, your company, or simply your physical progress.

Map Redesigned
The new map smoothly blends with the workout stats below, giving your summary a signature look.

Faster Loading Times
Since our launch, the app has grown significantly, and with time some users have noticed slower performance. We've rewritten the code, so those affected should now experience faster load times.

WHY HAVE A WORKOUT JOURNAL
With your input, your activities will:

Mean More
They will be a more wholesome reflection of yourself, carrying greater significance as you can tie them to certain milestones, memories, and events.

Help You Identify Important Elements
You will be able to learn which routines and strategies are most effective and tailor your workouts to suit your plans and needs better.

Track Progress and Spot Patterns
For instance, keeping a gym workout programme with added photos makes monitoring progress and staying on top of your programs easy; observing correlations between your meals and how you felt during workouts helps optimize your meal prep on active days, etc. Find the use case that works best for you.

Help You Stay Accountable
By providing a detailed record of your progress, reflections on your efforts, and visual reminders that keep you motivated and committed to your fitness goals.

Help Recognize and Celebrate Achievements
Big and small, motivating you to keep going.

We hope this feature supports you further in staying active on your terms and being your own best workout buddy. And as always, whether you’re new on board 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.

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
