New Apple Watch App Revolutionizes Athlete Training with Comprehensive Metrics and Tailored Guidance
  • A new Apple Watch app is being developed to provide users with comprehensive training data, including metrics like training load, recovery, heart rate, and sleep, to support performance improvement.

  • This app will emphasize guidance on when to push or hold back, based on data from Apple Watch, and will feature a dedicated interface for easy access to relevant training metrics directly from the wrist.

  • The app is exclusive to iOS 26 and will later include an Apple Watch version, with a free download and multiple subscription options to cater to different user needs.

  • Alongside the new app, updates to Gentler Streak include a complete interface overhaul aligned with iOS 26's visual language, featuring a redesigned profile, activity path picker, and quicker access to wellness data.

  • Gentler Stories, the parent company, has launched The Outsiders, a new fitness app targeting serious athletes who follow structured, intense training routines, contrasting with Gentler Streak's gentle, inclusive approach.

  • The Outsiders offers detailed performance metrics, supports subscription-based premium features, and is designed for performance-driven athletes, with upcoming features like cycling power zones and efficiency factors.

  • Available on the App Store, The Outsiders supports Apple's Liquid Glass UI, provides detailed metrics, and plans future updates to include advanced features for cyclists and runners.

  • The app includes a comprehensive Workout tab, a Progress section for training specifics, heart rate analysis, and a calendar to monitor training intensity and recovery.

  • Features include detailed workout analysis, route tracking, and tailored training guidance based on various training philosophies like polarized, pyramid, or threshold approaches.

  • The main interface features a 'Today' screen with a Training Readiness score derived from training load, body metrics, and sleep quality, helping users optimize daily effort.

  • This Training Readiness score guides athletes on when to push or rest, supported by a main interface with a progress tab, training history calendar, and workout log.

  • The Outsiders is free to download, but a subscription is required to unlock all features, with limited functionality available for free.
