Gentler Streak update introduces sleep analysis and insights features, redesigned wellness section

The gentler Streak has been updated with support for new sleep tracking features, as the popular fitness tracking app continues to expand functionality. With the release of the latest update via the App Store, users will be able to access new features like Sleep Analysis and Sleep Insights that use data from Apple Health to analyze sleep quality. The Wellbeing tab on the Gentler Streak app for iOS has also been revamped with different body metrics and health sections.

Gentler Streak updated with sleep analysis and sleep insights features

With version 5.0 of Gentler Streak, users will see a new sleep card in the new Wellbeing section, which shows detailed information related to their sleep quality. This includes sleep duration, sleep stages, restorative sleep (deep sleep and REM stages), time taken to fall asleep, and time awake. While this data is refreshed every day, the app will also show sleep metrics for the last two weeks.

After updating to the latest version, users will also see information related to their sleep under the Sleep Stages section in the app. While both of these features are available to all users, the sleep overview chart and 14-day sleep quality history will be available to premium subscribers.

The gentler Streak app uses data recorded by a user’s Apple Watch, including information related to activity, health metrics, and sleep. The new Sleep Insights feature requires at least one sleep session every two weeks to work properly. According to the developer, the use of multiple tracking devices (or devices that track sleep based on sound) and apps may affect the data displayed in the app.

The latest Gentler Streak update also revamps the design of the Wellbeing tab, with body metrics and health details shown separately. Sleeping heart rate, wrist temperature, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation and respiratory rate will be shown in the Body Metrics section, while the new Sleep Card will be shown in the Health section.

Users will also be able to customize the Wellbeing tab to show or hide these health metrics. It’s worth noting that features like wrist temperature monitoring will only be available on compatible smartwatch models that are capable of recording those health metrics, such as the Apple Watch Series 8 (or newer) and the Apple Watch Ultra and Watch Ultra 2. .
