I am Jiang Linhan, a university student in China. I actually didn't like exercising before, but after a semester of sitting for long periods, I gained 10 kg. So I need to lose some weight. I discovered that dancing in Apple Fitness+ is suitable for me, and I dance every day. However, sometimes I don't know how long I should dance or if I should do another 30 minutes. The gentler option gives me a suitable reference indicator, like the progress bar on the homepage, which helps me understand whether I’ve met my daily exercise goals or if I haven’t done enough. It allows me to arrange my life easily and prevents me from overexerting myself and causing muscle strains.Also, the Apple Watch is compatible, but I prefer to stay consistent with Fitness+ and use Apple's official fitness app. I don’t have any other reason for this preference. However, I have to say that it offers many features, and most of them are free. As a student, I don't have much pocket money and can't afford the premium version. But the app developers have been kind enough to leave the essential homepage progress bar and widgets available for free users. I really appreciate that! 👍 Thank you for your development!

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years, and it is by far the best fitness tracker I’ve found. I’ve been able use Gentler Streak to find fitness that’s sustainable while managing chronic illness, rather than being pushed to burnout with arbitrary goals. I love that the developers have continued to integrate more health data as it’s become available, and I’m excited to see how the app keeps evolving. The only reason I can’t give this app 5 stars is that for non-cardio strength exercise (specifically yoga, for me) the perceived exertion that the app applies is way, way off. Every yoga class I take, the app registers as “extremely light,” even if I’m sweating bullets, can’t regulate my breathing, and my muscles are burning. If I don’t go in and update that to how hard the session really feels, I would be headed in the wrong direction in a serious way, pushing too hard and going straight into PEM. I can definitely understand why it’s hard to quantify effort with exercise where the difficulty doesn’t have an immediate link to heart rate, and honestly I’m not sure if this is something that really has a fix, but that’s been my only frustration with this app. Bottom line, if you are looking for a way to sustainably build fitness (especially if you’re managing fatigue and chronic illness), this app is a life changer; just make sure you’re digging into the details and making sure that the assumptions the app is making are correct.
Ответ разработчика Hi! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Gentler Streak. I feel you on the RPE for the yoga workouts. We’ve explored smarter ways to improve this, but finding a reliable and scalable automated solution has proven very tricky - if it were easy, someone would’ve probably cracked it by now😅 For now, manual adjustment remains the most practical and accurate approach. Wishing you a pleasant fitness journey, Vid

UPDATE: We still aren’t getting anything to show our steps as activity in this app. That’s a critical issue here. We shouldn’t have to log our daily steps as workouts to record the activity. I’ve tried doing this to have a more accurate picture of wellbeing and actually have the app saying I’m overreaching when it’s not that hard to walk throughout the day, taking breaks in between. Developers need to find a way to work this into the algorithm for the app. As it stands it seems that while other apps ignore the need for customization based on individual abilities/needs this app ignores the need to have basic data at its core. We need to meet somewhere in the middle here ASAP. ————I like the app but there are area it needs work; 1) The new Wellbeing tab and syncing with Health is good, but why doesn’t it show our steps? and why aren’t our streaks reflecting our walking throughout the day? This needs attention ‼️ 2) I’ve had to edit sleep in other apps as it over estimated my time sleeping. But then this app shows “Insufficient data” under the Wellbeing tab.🤨 The day is there? I just corrected it so that the record is accurate. This shouldn’t be a problem. 3) One of the reasons I’ve liked this app is the ability to do things at our own pace. I don’t like the “reminders” about exercising or losing a streak. A streak shouldn’t rely solely on workouts but also steps. See point 1.
Ответ разработчика Hello, thank you for taking the time and leaving a review. We are indeed a work in progress. 😊1. a) Steps may become a part of Wellbeing if we find a sensible way to include them. b) Your heart rate is the base for the TRIMP formula, which lies at the core of our algorithm. When you don't track your workout, we get very scarce feedback on it; therefore, we cannot estimate the toll it took on your body. The same goes for steps that appear as exercise minutes (if you use Apple Watch). We take it into account, but since heart rate data is not dense, we can't tell the strain it had on your body, therefore the effect on Activity Path is most probably not as great as it would be with full data. The Apple Watch reads your heart rate continuously every couple of seconds when tracking a workout, giving us great data to work with. When you are not tracking, your watch reads your heart rate every 2 to 5 minutes, getting up to 20 readings per hour at best. 2. This was a bug that was removed with the next version. If the problem still persists, please send over an email to support@gentlerstories.com and we will have a look into it. 3. Reply in the 1st point covers this. I agree this would be optimal, but it would not be backed with data, which then makes it messy. You could insert walking activity by hand, and do an equivalent of distance, and estimate your efforts with RPE. However, this is not optimal and we would suggest tracking as many workouts as possible, and with that getting quality data in, so we can guide you best as we can.

With this fella, we are addressing newly discovered loading issues, and introducing some novelties to health metrics.
IMPROVEMENTS
After the iOS 27 update, you may have been one of the unlucky ones who experienced a bumpy ride with unpredictable app loading. Hopefully, no more.
NEW
HRV Better Reflecting Your Recovery
With the new iOS, Apple introduced the RMSSD method for HRV, which now better reflects your recovery. Available on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.
Temperature with Baseline
On iOS 27, you can keep the current temperature view or switch to a baseline view. You can switch views in the app: Gentler Streak → Profile → Settings → Temperature.
Important: new sensors, on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, may provide different results than previous models. To avoid confusion, we automatically recalibrate the baseline.
Temperature for non-Apple Watch
If your non-Apple Watch tracker saves temperature to Apple Health, you should now see it among body metrics.
If Gentler Streak has been useful, and you’d like to support us, App Store review REALLY helps. As a bootstrapped crew relying on word-of-mouth, genuine positive reviews are as good as gold. Thank you!

Hello, sweet September! And sweet you, of course. While you were hopefully chasing waves, reaching new heights and exploring wild routes (or just staring at the sky, indulging in good old nothing), we were busy teaching Yorhart new tricks - the ones coming with iOS 27. So, grab that smoothie, and learn what’s new.
NEW
Siri As a Personal Health Guide
There are now two ways to make use of Siri in Gentler Streak. One is the use of App Intents, which make it possible to get information connected to your health and fitness without opening the app. The second is On-Screen Awareness, where Siri can help with additional context to what you are seeing on your screen.
App Intents
You can now ask Siri things like “what’s my activity status” or “show today’s workouts” without opening the app as long as you add the app’s name (Gentler Streak) to your prompt. A few office favorites to try:
- Today’s workouts (in Gentler Streak)?
- What’s my activity status (in Gentler Streak)?
- Today’s workout suggestions (in Gentler Streak)?
- Get today’s body metrics (in Gentler Streak)?
- How was my sleep last night (in Gentler Streak)?
- Start a workout on Apple Watch (in Gentler Streak)
On-Screen Awareness
Looking at workout data, accompanying charts and scratching your head a little? You can now ask Siri to explain what you are seeing. If there are parts of the app you would like to understand better, go to that feature, and ask Siri to tell you more: you could go from “summarize my workout” to “what’s this green strip on my screen” and Siri should explain it back to you. Play around to see what fits your usage best.
Heads up: if you are in the EU, or China, Siri AI has not been made available yet.
Refreshed Icons & Liquid Glass
New season comes with new trends. While we are all up for personal style, a little trendy touch-up can’t hurt.
Adaptive Layout
Gentler Streak can now fit any screen size, also the iPhone Duo when it comes out.
Personalized Workout Summary Suggestion
With a little help of on-device AI, we now try to give your afternoon walk, weekend ride, or yoga session some flavour. Workouts still come with default titles, but tap edit, and get prefilled text. Like it? Save it. Not feeling it? Create your own or keep the original, spartan version.
By releasing this (pretty) technical update, we will now fully focus our attention on where our hearts are - creating new functionalities that deepen personalized guidance. We are picking up our “how you feel” layer, which should see the light of day towards the end of October. Follow us on socials, for more info.
If you find Gentler Streak helpful, leaving a review on the App Store is literally one of the best (and fastest) ways to support our work. It gives us motivation, and helps others find us!
And now to you! Update, try it out, and let us know what you think - we read everything.

NEW PERSONAL STORY
This story brings a powerful look at how Gentler Streak changed one woman’s relationship with movement - and with herself.
Emily Schroeder, 42, is a mother, data scientist, and extreme athlete. She downloaded Gentler Streak in 2022 while training six or seven days a week, often ignoring its recovery prompts because she “felt okay.” Years of pushing eventually led to severe overtraining and months of recovery, forcing her to rethink her relationship with exercise. Today, the same app she once ignored helps her listen to her body and make more sustainable choices.
Find her full story in the Insights tab. If it resonates, share it - and if you have a story of your own, we’d love to hear it.
If you’ve been loving Gentler Streak, a quick App Store review reaaally helps. It means people hear about it from you, not just from us insisting how great it is.

Adding the cherry on top of our last update!
NEW: Colorful Map Styles
You asked, and here it is: when sharing a workout the map customization options now include colorful light and dark maps. These two join the black-and-white and satellite styles added previously. All five options are now available for every workout with a map. Don’t be shy to share and tag us @gentlerstreak!
IMPROVEMENTS
Charts should now load faster.
In case you missed what else dropped in the previous update:
SHARE REVAMPED
Based on how we observed you use Share in Gentler Streak, we decided to build it from scratch. We simplified it, made it lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing. It should fit beautifully on your stories! More share options to come; for now, we’ve focused on your workout summary.
Good to know:
• Find the revamped Share on all of your workout summaries.
• Choose between a light, dark, or satellite map, a transparent background or a background of your choice.
• Workouts with no map come with your heart rate chart as the centerpiece.
• You decide which metrics you want to show the world.
• When you’re about to post, don’t forget to tag us, and we’ll repost!
NEW PERSONAL STORY
There’s a new story, this time from a devoted kickboxer! Matt Marenic shared how and why he’s been using Gentler Streak and Tiimo to organize his days. You can find his story under Insights > Stories from the Community > Getting My Day Under Control. It’s lovely to hear that we weren’t the only ones noticing the synergy, with some of you spotting it even before we did!

Based on how we observed you use Share in Gentler Streak, we decided to build it from scratch. We simplified it, made it lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing. It should fit beautifully on your stories! More share options to come; for now, we’ve focused on your workout summary.
Good to know:
• Find the revamped Share on all of your workout summaries.
• Choose between a light, dark, or satellite map, a transparent background or a background of your choice.
• Workouts with no map come with your heart rate chart as the centerpiece.
• You decide which metrics you want to show the world.
• When you’re about to post, don’t forget to tag us, and we’ll repost!
NEW PERSONAL STORY
There’s a new story, this time from a devoted kickboxer! Matt Marenic shared how and why he’s been using Gentler Streak and Tiimo to organize his days. You can find his story under Insights > Stories from the Community > Getting My Day Under Control. It’s lovely to hear that we weren’t the only ones noticing the synergy, with some of you spotting it even before we did!

Hello, lovely humans! With this version, we’re not serving a feature update, but a friendship one.
We’re happy to be joining forces with Tiimo, Apple’s iPhone App of the Year 2025. If you haven’t heard of them: Tiimo is a planning app built for the neurodivergent community: visual time-blocking, routines you can actually customize, and design that works the way ADHD and autistic brains work.
As a yearly Gentler Streak subscriber, you get 40% off Tiimo’s yearly plan, plus a free trial if you’re a new user. Find the offer in Settings → Gentler Perks, whenever you’re ready.
Why this collab? We met the Tiimo team at WWDC 2024 and clicked instantly. Both App of the Year winners, female-led teams, both building tools that adapt to the person rather than the other way around. We’re firm believers that mental and physical wellbeing go hand in hand - and that together, we’re stronger. You included.
Hope you’ll like Tiimo as much as we do!

P.S. Lifetime subscribers: Due to technical limitations with in-app purchases (which lifetime is), we can’t offer anything in the app, but please reach out to support@gentlerstories.com and we’ll help out.

Hello to a new app icon - our little nod to WWDC 2026. Find it in Settings. Plus, a few extras from last time in case they slipped by.
A trio of nice additions in this one: new workout types, a fresh notification category to help you tune in to your body in the morning, and another round of faster loading.
NEW
Morning Check-In Notifications
A new notification category that gives you a gentle, data-driven heads-up in the morning when there’s something worth noticing from yesterday. After an easy session or a hard one, after an overreaching day, when you chose to rest, or, for women, related to our cycle: to inform when we’re (likely) at our peak, and when we’re (likely) at our low. The benefit: the app pays attention so you don’t have to, and speaks up when yesterday has something to tell you about today.
You’ll find it in: Gentler Streak → Profile → Settings → Notifications → Morning Check-In
13 Workout Types
… bringing the total to 161! Lately our office has gone crazy for gravel rides, so that one had to come in, alongside 12 other most-requested types: Dog Running, Kettlebell Workout, Swimming Tethered, Outdoor Hand Cycling, Bouldering, Windsurfing, Beach Volleyball, Inline Hockey, Surfskate, BMX Freestyle, BMX Racing, and the one we suspect many of you have been waiting for: Assembling Furniture.
IMPROVEMENTS
Faster Loading
Another round of loading optimization. The app should feel snappier on open, especially if you’ve got a lot of history.

Hello sweaty people! Happy to announce this neat update bringing photos ON the map. That, along with small user experience tweaks and some bug fixes.
PHOTOS ON MAP
Open any workout summary that includes photos, and you’ll see them pinned to the exact location where you took them on the route. This way your workout history becomes a record of what you saw, and not just where you went. If you want a quick trip down memory lane: why not do a lucky dip and pick random workout summaries filtered by Photos, and see where it takes you - you might be surprised what comes back.
IMPROVEMENT
We got some feedback regarding the Activity Path - apparently, when people discover it and it clicks what it does, it becomes a hero feature. In order to bring the “what’s this all about” closer to you, we’ve added a little “What’s Activity Path” button right on the Activity Path switcher - the one where you choose your daily, 10-day, or 30-day view. Hope it helps!

It took us a bit longer than expected - the viruses seem extra persistent this winter, and then the feature turned out trickier than first expected, but nonetheless we are here now, and happy to present our version of cardio fitness.
NEW METRIC - Cardio Fitness aka VO₂ Max
VO₂ max measures how efficiently our body uses oxygen during exercise - and that efficiency shows up everywhere, from workouts to everyday energy and how easily we move through daily tasks. It makes most sense when looked at as a trend, not an isolated number - consider it as another piece of the complex puzzle that is you.
Your smartwatch estimates cardio fitness from recorded outdoor walks, runs, and hikes. You can compare your monthly trend to your average resting heart rate, steps, activity duration, activity energy, and distance - month by month, going back years. When you record any of the three activity types consistently, you will start to observe what behaviour impacts it, how changes impact you, and whether how you feel actually matches what you see.
One thing worth knowing before you dive in: the estimate is most meaningful for those who run or hike regularly. If walking is your main outdoor activity, the estimate can skew higher than your actual running fitness would support. If your main activities are elsewhere - cycling, swimming, gym - the number may not reflect your actual cardiovascular fitness. The trend over time tends to be more telling than any single figure.
Find Cardio Fitness in the Wellbeing section of your Streak tab.
And a little reminder. Having the stats and data is fun and helpful, but don’t let yourself be dictated by it. YOU are the best, most accurate and reliable source of information on yourself. Gentler Streak, like any other wellness app, should be there to help build a better connection with yourself, not replace it - for you to notice changes in your body faster, understand the cause and effect better, and then based on that take decisions that truly support you. That’s what we’d like to achieve.

It feels like the year just started, yet somehow it’s already wrapping up. Which means: it’s that time again: your Yearly Activity Recap has arrived.
Most of us move through the year one day at a time, often on autopilot, and it’s easy to miss how much those days stack up. This recap offers a bit of perspective.
You’ll watch the year sweep past along the Activity Path - the steady stretches, the pauses, the returns. All the ups and downs life brought with it.
Then it gathers the highlights: the time, the distance, the climbs, the energy and the rhythm your heart settled into. A reminder of the work you put in along the way.
Everything comes together in a short animated summary you can revisit or share. A year always looks different when you zoom out.

A couple of useful additions in this release: a Weekly Activity Recap and a new privacy insight.
NEW Weekly Activity Recap
These recaps carry the same spirit as our monthlies and yearlies, but on a weekly basis. The weekly recap compares your activity levels to the week before, helping you spot patterns and better understand your habits. It’s a simple way to stay aware of your effort, stay motivated, and make more deliberate choices. Look back at your week and see how active you’ve been across different sports, the distance you covered, calories burned, elevation gained, and see the photos you took mid-workout.
Find it waiting for you at the start of each new week (Sunday or Monday, depending on your settings) in the Streak tab.
NEW Insight - Your Privacy First
This one comes from a question we get a lot in support: where does my data go? Do you have servers? How do I delete my account?
To clear things up once and for all: everything stays on your device. No servers, no account, no data leaving your phone. We’ve put together a short article explaining exactly how we handle your health and fitness data. You’ll find it in the Insights tab, under the Gentler Streak 101 category, titled Your Privacy First.

Ever wished there was more info about Gentler Streak and how it works? You weren’t the only one. Turns out that “Is there a PDF?” is not just a thing of the 90s, as it came up more times than we expected, and now, thanks to our friends at Hinto AI, there’s something better available.
Explore the complete Gentler Streak Guide, available in the app or on the web. It covers all features and probably everything you might want to know about how Gentler Streak works.
Find it in:
Gentler Streak → Profile → Frequently Asked Questions → For Everything Else → Find more answers here
Or head to gentlerstreak.com. If you’re on desktop, tap FAQ in the top-right corner; on mobile, you’ll find it at the bottom.
If Gentler Streak’s been useful, a quick review on the App Store goes a long way for us. It helps others discover it and hear what it’s all about from real people who actually use it (instead of just the product info from our side).

Widget. New Widget. New Period Widget.
Now, alongside Activity Status, Go Gentler, Vitals, and Single Vital, you can also add a Period widget to your Home Screen! Yay!
Different phases of the menstrual cycle can affect how workout-ready your body feels. Keeping them in view helps keep them in mind and this widget does just that. It shows the current phase, cycle day, and expected readiness.
Still, period is just one piece of your wellbeing picture, something to help you understand your patterns better. How cycle phases affect us varies greatly from person to person. It’s best to observe yourself and add notes with your workouts to learn what’s true for you, and then adapt your behaviour to it.
To add a period widget (or any other) follow these steps:
1. Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen until apps start jiggling.
2. Tap the + or Edit button (depending on your iOS version).
3. Search for Gentler Streak and swipe through widgets - the Period one’s last.
4. Tap Add Widget, and drag to wherever you’d like it to be.
If you find Gentler Streak helpful, leaving a review on the App Store is one of the best ways to support us. For a small team, your reviews and ratings matter a lot! They help others discover us more easily, and help them understand what to expect from the app. Good ones also make our day.

With this fella, we are addressing newly discovered loading issues, and introducing some novelties to health metrics.
IMPROVEMENTS
After the iOS 27 update, you may have been one of the unlucky ones who experienced a bumpy ride with unpredictable app loading. Hopefully, no more.
NEW
HRV Better Reflecting Your Recovery
With the new iOS, Apple introduced the RMSSD method for HRV, which now better reflects your recovery. Available on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.
Temperature with Baseline
On iOS 27, you can keep the current temperature view or switch to a baseline view. You can switch views in the app: Gentler Streak → Profile → Settings → Temperature.
Important: new sensors, on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, may provide different results than previous models. To avoid confusion, we automatically recalibrate the baseline.
Temperature for non-Apple Watch
If your non-Apple Watch tracker saves temperature to Apple Health, you should now see it among body metrics.
If Gentler Streak has been useful, and you’d like to support us, App Store review REALLY helps. As a bootstrapped crew relying on word-of-mouth, genuine positive reviews are as good as gold. Thank you!
