Big update: build your plan your way, and finish every run with a win. NEW: Build Your Own Plan. Set a distance goal, a time goal, or both, choose your terrain and rest days, and add an event date if you have one. Your plan builds up safely, with recovery weeks and a taper. NEW: Wellness add-ons. Optional short sessions on your easier days: core, stretching, yoga, pilates, bodyweight strength, jump rope, balance, meditation, and breathing. Turn them off any time when you set up a plan. NEW: A livelier Plans tab. A progress ring, a streak where rest days count, and a week view you can tap into. NEW: Celebrate the wins. When a run earns a badge, you see which run and which shoe it counted for, with one tap to fix it if you wore a different pair. NEW: Clear start steps for your setup. Every workout now tells you exactly what to tap on your iPhone or Apple Watch, plus the phrase to say to Siri for time and distance goals. IMPROVED: Recovery Signal now shows whether a reading came from your Apple Watch or from a Bluetooth device or your iPhone, so different devices are never blended into one line. IMPROVED: Fewer duplicate notifications. A plan run that earns a badge sends one notification, and your morning brief arrives once. FIXED: A run now completes the plan day for the date you actually ran. FIXED: If you pick your shoe after a run, your plan day now catches up to match. FIXED: Finished plans with a custom goal show your real goal in Plan History, and finished plans save to history on their own. FIXED: Activities like tennis, rowing, and yoga show their real names instead of Cross Training. FIXED: Your Activities count and list now agree, and your data export includes workouts you didn't assign to a shoe. Thanks for running with us and for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Small update, big peace of mind. This one is all about making sure every run gets counted. FIXED: Plan runs now always show up in Activity. If you ran on a plan day without opening the plan first, the run could get checked off but never logged to a shoe. Now every plan run is logged, and the day still completes. If this happened to you, your missing run should reappear, and Gear-Life may ask which shoe you wore. FIXED: Wore a different shoe than planned? Swapping the shoe on a finished plan day now moves that run's miles and wear to the right shoe, so your plan and your closet always agree. FIXED: The This Week chart now shows all your workouts, including the gym, lifting, and cross training days that were showing up blank. Your weekly duration total now counts workouts you did without a shoe, too. FIXED: Stopping a plan and starting a new one right away could, in rare cases, leave the new plan missing after reinstalling the app or moving to a new phone. Plans now save in the right order every time. IMPROVED: Better VoiceOver support throughout the app, including Gear Diary and Settings. Entries and rows now read as one clear item instead of a string of separate pieces. IMPROVED: A run on a rest day no longer marks the rest day as done. Thanks for running with us and for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Big one this update: Training Plans have arrived. NEW: REAL TRAINING PLANS Build a full 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon plan with Sage, your AI coach. Plans are gear aware, so they know which shoes are ready for the miles ahead and warn you before one wears out mid plan. NEW: AUTO LOGGING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Go run. That's it. Gear-Life checks your workout against today's goal, logs the right shoe, and marks the day complete on its own. Missed the target or logged it another way? Marking it complete yourself is always one tap away. NEW: KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO RUN Every speed and interval day now shows the full breakdown: warmup, work intervals, rest, and cooldown, spelled out step by step. No more guessing how long to rest between reps. IMPROVED: RECOVERY SIGNAL Your recovery score now clearly shows which device it came from, Apple Watch, Ultrahuman, or Polar, so you're comparing real numbers instead of mixing different measurement styles into one confusing score. IMPROVED: SMARTER, QUIETER NOTIFICATIONS Fewer, better timed notifications. Your morning brief now fires once and on time, and check in alerts only show up when they actually matter. IMPROVED: APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS Your wear today shoe and foam health now show up correctly on your watch face and in the Gear-Life watch app. FIXED: SIRI SHORTCUTS Ask Siri about your shoes and actually get an answer about your real gear again. Plus a bunch of smaller fixes and polish across Plans, Recovery, and the Closet. Thanks for testing and reporting bugs, keep them coming.

Gear-Life v1.1 What's New Cycling gear is here. Track your bikes and cycling shoes with Mechanical Wear Score (MWS) — a physics-based model that monitors chain health, tire wear, brake pads, cassette, cleat life, closure system, and structural integrity. Surface matters: road, gravel, MTB, and indoor all wear differently. Gear-Life knows the difference. Gear Diary. Every shoe now has a photo and notes timeline. Document new shoes, log milestones, and capture how your gear looks at 100 miles, 300 miles, and retirement. The diary auto-prompts you at key milestones and generates a shareable recap card. Lace Intelligence. Track your laces as gear. Add laces to any shoe, monitor abrasion wear by material type, and get an alert when it's time to replace them. Laces live in your gear library and can be moved between shoes. Sage Pro — AI coaching powered by Gemini. Upgrade to Pro for $5.99 one-time and get Sage powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash, multi-turn conversation, and 50 free credits included. Pro also unlocks deeper coaching, cardiovascular intelligence, and all future Pro features. Credit packs available if you need more. On iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 with Apple Intelligence enabled, Sage runs entirely on-device. No data leaves your phone. The adapter is now delivered over-the-air and updates automatically. Rotation Roulette widget. A new home screen widget that picks a shoe for you. Filter by category, tap to spin, and stop second-guessing what to wear. Gear Trends overhauled. Replaced with proactive AI nudges that surface rotation imbalances, foam burn rate changes, cycling shoe wear alerts, and positive reinforcement when your training habits are dialed in. Closet reorganized. The segment control now spans Run/Walk, CrossFit, Lifting, Cycling, and more. Cycling lives in its own section with bikes and cycling shoes separated clearly.
