Gentler Streak, this year's Apple Design Award winner for social impact, has evolved from a simple workout tracker into the only wellness management app you really need. The latest update is packed with significant upgrades. It includes a redesigned Wellbeing tab and, most importantly, a brand-new Sleep section.
Since February we have been testing various sleep devices and apps, followed by two months of beta testing, to create the best experience for our users, adding a vital layer to our holistic approach to well-being.
You can review sleep quality for the past 14 nights using the calendar picker at the top of the screen.
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 phenomenon better, its stages, the importance of sleep hygiene, guidance on improving it, etc.
Everyone can access their daily sleep analysis, along with the seven insights on sleep, while previous nights, and Sleep-Overview charts are part of the Gentler Streak Premium.
… or the lack of it in Gentler Streak. As with everything in our app, our sleep approach also focuses on sustainability. While sleep debt is widely popular, it lacks solid scientific backing, and it's more of a patch to the wound than allocating and addressing the source of pain. While testing various sleep devices and apps, we found that the short-term sleep overviews provide better insights into your sleep habits, helping you spot patterns in duration, consistency, and sleep stages so you can improve your sleep hygiene over time. Rather than “repaying” lost sleep by sleeping in on weekends, focusing on consistent sleep hygiene will be more beneficial to your wellbeing. Catching up on sleep doesn’t erase the stress your body endures from lack of sleep during the week. Doing so over time can take a toll on your health. Being aware of your overall sleep hygiene, prioritizing it, and making adjustments can lead to better rest and recovery and have long-term positive effects on your health.
The Well-being tab got some extra love. We have rearranged the layout, split content into two sections, added Sleep and revamped the look of Period.
Tapping on the Sleep card in Wellbeing leads you to your sleep analysis, where you’ll kick off your sleep journey by setting your 'Sleep Goal.' This helps us understand you better and adjust the feedback to suit your needs.
