Gentler Streak’s iOS 26 Update Unveils Liquid Glass and overall softer UI
The most anticipated yearly update in the iOS community has landed. At its heart is Apple’s Liquid Glass, and this new design language makes Gentler Streak across devices feel smoother, and even more delightful to use. On our part, we’ve also added a series of UI refinements for a more seamless experience.
The New Streak Layout
An app is by nature always a WIP, always subject to change. And our Streak tab reflects that best. With this iteration, we hope to bring more in-your-face info, easier exploration, and a less cluttered interface.
Key updates:
Your Profile has moved to the top right corner, and is now the only thing calling your attention up there.
An improved picker for Activity Path, making it clearer which view is chosen and what you can choose among: daily, 10-day, and 30-day view - all with liquid glass effect.
Go Gentler suggestions are displayed as single Today’s Recommendations under the Activity Path - more inviting and easier to act on.
Wellness category elements have been repositioned for quicker access and clearer understanding. No more scrolling to the left - now all “widgets” (vitals, steps, sleep, and period) are in view all of the time.
Insights waving goodbye to the first tab - with Monthly Recap still appearing every 1st of the month.
UX Refinements
You’ll notice a general, soft UX overhaul. Subtle improvements throughout the app go nicely with the glassy experience, they improve readability and speed of interaction without disrupting behavior for existing users, while sprinkling a little Yorhart touch on top of it.
Premium Badges
Premium features are now clearly labeled in the free version. When upgrading the labels disappear, only returning as a gentle reminder when your subscription nears its end. Premium supporters also now carry a small badge of appreciation in their profile.
One More Thing: The Outsiders
Alongside this major update, we’ve been working on our second project, launching today. Meet The Outsiders: a dedicated, performance-focused training app for athletes who train with intent. It delivers the data-driven insights serious athletes need, while Gentler Streak stays the inclusive, feel-good companion for staying active on your own terms. Learn more about The Outsiders here.
