How to see your 2024 activity summary on iPhone or Apple Watch

If you trained this year with your iPhone as a companion or with an Apple Watch, a wonderful activity summary awaits you. Before you ask: no, it’s not Apple that offers a Spotify Wrapped-style recap of your workouts. Instead it’s Gentler Streak, the Apple Watch app of the year 2022and winner of the Apple Design Award 2024 in the “Social Impact” category.

Since December 1, Gentler Streak has rolled out its 2024 activity summary, showing how much you’ve moved over the past year. Most importantly, this feature is available for free and for everyone, even if you have never used Gentler Streak before in your life.

Here’s how to see the Gentler Streak 2024 activity recap

First of all, you must download the Gentler Streak app. As I mentioned, the download is free. Then follow these steps:

  • If you are a new user, complete the onboarding. It is important to note that this data is not used by Gentler Streak at all, and it is only so that you can create a profile.
  • Allow the app to access your Apple Health data. If you don’t enable it or don’t have any records on the Fitness app, you won’t be able to see your activity summary.
  • Once you’re there, scroll down in the app to check your activity summary.
  • In the Insights tab, you can also find your year of training

Since Gentler Streak is a fitness tracker that aims to improve your well-being, the first graph will focus on your body’s needs, not your workout. That said, if you overdid it last year, the app will tell you that you exceeded what should have been your goals. With this in mind, the days you haven’t worked out are also taken into account to meet your body’s needs.

A little further down, you’ll see the days you exercised, the activities you enjoyed the most, the number of calories you burned, and some interesting facts about how long your workout lasted and how it compared to other activities, such as climbing Mt. Everest, doing a marathon, etc.

Additionally, you can share your activity summary on social media or with your friends. If you want to know more about Gentler Streak, I wrote about how it helped me run my first 15k in 2022. However, it has brought several new features since then, including an all-new Wellness tab and sleep tracking.

Gentler Streak is free to download. Its monthly subscription is $7.99, its Premium annual subscription is $54.99 with Family Sharing included, and its Lifetime subscription is $179.99 with Family Sharing included.
