Apple Watch has gained a lot of sleep monitoring features in recent years, but there are still third-party apps that provide a more in-depth analysis of your sleep data. One of these apps is Gentler Streak, and its latest update adds new insights and options for sleep tracking.
Gentler Streak gets new sleep monitoring features
Version 5 of Gentler Streak brings a lot of cool new features when it comes to sleep monitoring. The team behind the app spent months working with healthcare professionals and testing multiple sleep devices to provide an in-depth sleep analysis.
Every morning, Gentler Streak will show the user a concise description of their sleep quality with details on sleep duration, restorative sleep, stages and more. Users can easily see a short-term overview of their sleep over recent nights. The app will also help users identify areas for improvement.
Gentler Streak also uses sleep data combined with other health data collected from your Apple Watch to update the Wellbeing section, which helps users easily understand what’s good and what needs attention about their health.
Speaking of the Wellbeing section, it has also been updated to allow users to better customize the metrics shown. More recently, the app was updated with support for tinted icons in iOS 18.
