Should you exercise or hit the couch today? Gentler Streak has the answer. The fitness-habit app analyzes your recent activity in the context of heart rate, sports type, age, and other factors, and suggests the optimal time, type, duration, and intensity for your next workout, so you don’t overextend yourself and risk fatigue or injury.

What we love: How the app makes data easily understandable. You don’t have to analyze any activity dashboards to work on your fitness goals. Gentler Streak aims to understand the state of your body on your behalf and recommends when and how to get active again. To learn more about how training affects your body, the app offers mini courses with workout and recovery guidance, including special sessions on heart rate, training in winter, nutrition, exercising during menstruation, and more.

Quick tip: Check out the monthly and yearly activity recaps spiced with curious fun facts about your physical activity and burnt energy.

Meet the creator: The team behind Gentler Streak developed the app as a response to the toxic competitive culture in sports. They want their app to help people be more kind to their bodies.
