The Outsiders are turning 1! In a way it feels like yesterday, but looking back it was a year full of meaningful updates and milestones. Thank you for being with us on this journey! This update is, as you can imagine, all about iOS 27 - it brings voice support, a glassier look, (bit of) on-device AI, and some more. ▶ SIRI APP INTENTS. Ask Siri “Training Readiness in The Outsiders” and get an answer without opening the app. Works for your readiness, workouts, sleep, or body metrics. Make sure to add The Outsiders to any prompt you make, otherwise Siri will sail its own way. ▶ ON-SCREEN AWARENESS. Go to any part of the app and ask Siri to make sense of what you see on screen, think of it as your fitness trainer on the go. For instance “summarize this workout for me”, “what does this chart mean for my training”, … find the way that works for you. ▶ WORKOUT TITLE SUGGESTIONS. On-device AI suggests a more detailed name for your recorded sessions. Like it? Save it. Not feeling it? Make your own or keep it default. ▶ DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME. Liquid Glass got glassier, improving readability across the app and making that icon really pop on your home screen. ▶ ADAPTIVE LAYOUT. Works smoothly on any screen you open it on, including upcoming iPhone Duo. We are small, independent, passionate about what we do and how we do it. If you like our ways, rate us on The App Store. If you have feedback drop by Threads @theoutsiders.app or on Twitter at @theoutsidersapp. You can also write to support@gentlerstories.com: we read and reply to every email. Enjoy the outside!
More data, deeper analysis, and finally a Share button. This update adds new tools to help you spot where you have improved and where there is still room to push the pace or add some watts. ▶ BREAKDOWN. The old Splits section has been renamed and expanded. Breakdown now includes three types of data: • Splits are added automatically per distance. • Intervals appear if you follow a structured workout. In the Apple Watch Workouts app you can create a custom workout with warmup, work, recovery, and cooldown periods. • Segments are marked manually using a double-tap on Apple Watch or the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra. Next time you want to break a segment on your run or ride, mark the start and end, then analyse it in The Outsiders. ▶ SHARE. It took a while, but here it is. You can now share your oh-so-precious workout summary. ▶ RELATIVE INTENSITY FOR RUNNING. Now available for running workouts, based on your lactate threshold heart rate. ▶ SMOOTHER WORKOUTS TAB. The glitching on the Workouts tab is gone. Thank you for putting up with it. No more, now it's as smooth as silk. ▶ TEMPERATURE FOR NON-APPLE WATCH USERS. If you use a non-Apple Watch device for tracking temperature, this metric should now also appear in The Outsiders, as long as your tracker saves data to Apple Health. ▶ REFRESHED UI/UX FOR ADDING A PERSONAL GOAL. Adding training goals has a nicer and smoother interface now. If you like the update, especially the Breakdown and Share features, tag us on Instagram at @theoutsiders.app or on X at @theoutsidersapp Enjoy the outside!

Bug fixes - New workouts not appearing on the Today and Workouts tabs without closing the app - The Workouts tab chart not reflecting the latest workouts
After the big 1.7 update, we focused on making The Outsiders faster and more reliable. Here is what is new: FASTER. The app launches faster and processes longer workouts more quickly, including cycling sessions with heart rate and power recorded every second. BETTER SLEEP DATA COVERAGE. If you use a non-Apple Watch tracker for sleep, overnight body metrics available in Apple Health should now show up correctly. COLOUR-CODED DAILY BODY METRICS. Resting heart rate and HRV now show in colour even when overnight data is unavailable. We use yellow and orange for alerts rather than red, since daily metrics are less precise than overnight ones and we did not want to cause unnecessary alarm. UPDATED WEIGHTED AVERAGE POWER FOR RUNNERS. Refined algorithm, more accurate values, which also improves Variability Index. Got feedback? Let us know. We read and reply to every email. support@theoutsiders.app Enjoy the outside! (or inside due to extremely high temperatures)
Presenting our biggest upgrade since launch, hope it brings joy (and a great use case) to a broader cycling and running community! From Garmin Connect™ integration, FIT file import, to Home Screen widgets, Training Form for race prep, Activity Statuses, and more. Yes, more. HERE COME HOME SCREEN WIDGETS A much-requested feature.

GARMIN AND FIT FILE IMPORT The Outsiders is made for serious athletes, and… we like our gear, right? Your Garmin workouts now import automatically, bringing all the data your device recorded into the app. Those on Zwift, Wahoo, COROS, Karoo, Amazfit, and other devices that export .FIT files to Apple Health, can now manually import their data. This was by far one of the most consistent requests we have received, and we’re glad to expand further into the relevant community. NEED A WEEK OFF? GOT SICK? INJURED? WE GOT YOU Four new states for the parts of training that don’t look like training, but are part of it nonetheless: Active Recovery, On a Break, Injured, and Sick. Pre- and post-workout descriptions adapt to where you’re at, so the same session reads differently during an active block than it does during sickness. BE RACE-READY Follow Training Focus to build a solid fitness base, then switch to Training Form to arrive at the starting line in your best shape. Perfect for race days and chasing personal bests. NEW METRIC: NUMBER OF SESSIONS Progress and Workouts charts now include a sixth metric: number of sessions. One more way to track consistency over time.

Hey Outsiders! Round two of our speed improvements is here. We've made the app even faster and fixed an issue where advanced metrics weren't showing up despite having power data. To follow our progress, join us on: Reddit: r/theoutsidersapp IG: @theoutsiders.app Got feedback? We read and reply to every email, so feel free to reach out! support@theoutsiders.app Thanks for being here.
Hello there! Last week we introduced Advanced Metrics for runs and bike rides with power data. In the past few days we made some user experience updates: ▶ BEHIND THE METRICS If you want to see the data behind each metric, simply tap on it and you'll get the numbers used for the calculation. ▶ TRAINING SUMMARY BECOMES EVEN MORE USEFUL Your overview of past trainings now offers two UX additions to help you analyse your progress even more. Filter by workout types, or select a specific week to see what you did in that time. ▶ BUG FIXES Well, you know, bug fixes. That's it for this week. Enjoy the outside!
Hello, there! Where we are living, spring is slowly making its entrance, which can only mean one thing: cycling season has officially started! And we are right on time with this new addition. If you’re love the stats, it’s likely you’ll give it a nod to the four new metrics that will support your power-based training. ADVANCED METRICS FOR ADVANCED FOLKS These four work together to give the full scope of a session - not just how hard you went, but how well you executed it. That distinction is what separates training that compounds over time from training that just accumulates fatigue. Relative Intensity tells you how demanding the session was relative to your personal limit. Variability Index shows how consistently you paced the effort. Efficiency Factor indicates power output relative to heart rate - a rising trend means your aerobic engine is getting stronger. Aerobic Decoupling shows how well you held that efficiency over the full session. Where to find them? Open a recent ride or run activity with power data and see them in your session summary. If you like what we’re building, we’d be grateful if you dropped us a rating and/or a review on the App Store. Helps the algorithm gods show us to other data nerds, and it reminds our small team why we’re doing this. For info, chat, and community, join us on: Reddit: r/theoutsidersapp Got feedback?

We’re continuing with our focus on usability. This update adds more customization, helping you keep relevant data in view. CUSTOMIZATION Across the Today tab, Progress tab, and Training Goals. You can now reorder sections and hide what you don’t need right now. Bring the data points that matter most to you to the top. Customize button is at the bottom of each section. One last thing worth repeating: your data stays yours. The Outsiders runs on your device, without user accounts or servers. No ad platforms, no AI models, no third parties in the middle. Your training data lives with you, where it belongs. If being an Outsider feels right, don’t disappear into the woods alone. Mark the trail for others chasing the same goals - a 5-star rating and a positive review on the App Store helps fellow athletes find their way here, grows the community, and fuels the small team to keep building.

We’re starting 2026 by upgrading Training Goals - we can likely agree it’s one of the most essential parts of an athlete’s early-year planning. Based on your feedback, and thank you for it, here’s what’s new! Expanded Goal Types You can set training goals for: • Number of sessions • Time in Training Focus Zones • Time in Heart Rate Zones • Time in Cycling Power Zones Interactive Charts Training Goals history charts became tappable. Press and hold to inspect the details of each past goal period. UX & UI improvements Think your most recent workout types appearing at the top when creating a new goal, and the ability to set goals across both indoor and outdoor versions of the same activity (cycling, running, rowing, and more), etc. Refined Post-workout Training Readiness The calculation is now less punishing, aiming to better reflect effort and recovery instead of dropping straight to the floor. If being an Outsider feels right, don’t disappear into the woods alone. Mark the trail for others chasing the same goals - a 5-star rating and a positive review on the App Store helps fellow athletes find their way here, grows the community, and fuels the small team to keep building.

As the year winds down, it's hard not to start thinking ahead. This update, last one of the year, helps pin the plans down. Introducing: ▶ PERSONAL TRAINING GOALS Set clear targets for what matters to your training and track how consistently you’re meeting them, in the Progress tab. What you can set goals for • Time • Distance • Training Load • Active Energy • Elevation How it works • Choose the workout type • Pick a timeframe (weekly, monthly, yearly) • Set your target and train as usual Stack as many goals as you need, mix time horizons, and adjust them as your training evolves. You’ll see your current progress, trends, and past periods, all in one place. If being an Outsider feels right, don’t disappear into the woods alone.

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference. And this week, that detail sits on your wrist: The Outsiders Apple Watch Complications. Without further ado, here’s what’s new with this one: ▶ APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS Your two essential daily metrics now one glance away on your watch: • Training Readiness (TR) • Training Load Ratio (TLR) Choose from rounded or corner styles, with TLR also offered in a rectangular layout. ▶ BUG FIXES A handful of smaller issues you likely never saw (but we definitely did) have been cleaned up. If The Outsiders fits into your training, a 5-star rating or brief review means more than you may think. It brings more athletes into the fold and keeps our small team moving forward.

With the Apple Watch app landing two weeks ago, we are back to the iPhone. Here’s what is coming your way: ▶ NEW FEATURES • Batch Photo Import to Workout Summary - your workout summary can now be paired with all the photos from the session with a single tap (Profile -> Settings -> Match Photos With Workouts). • Indoor Cycling Speed Metric - added by user request and now available as a metric for indoor cycling workouts. ▶ UPDATED FEATURES • Normal Range Calculation - body metrics now use an improved and more accurate normal-range calculation. • Training Readiness Improvement - early signs of sickness are now recognised. Your readiness and status will reflect it. • Training Load Ratio Fixes - cases with no logged workouts for a longer period are now handled properly (> 3 weeks). ▶ BUG FIXES • Rounding is now consistent across the app. • Workout summary charts are fixed. • Few other minor improvements. That’s for today. And next time, we just might switch back to the watch again - complications are in the works (hint, hint!). Also, if The Outsiders is helping your training, a 5-star rating or review would mean a lot. It brings more athletes into the fold and keeps our small team motivated to release updates like this one.

Hey, watch out! With this one comes a lot - a whole new app actually. Version 1.3 brings The Outsiders Apple Watch to your wrist. This marks the end of our soft launch phase and now fully into the open. A gist of everything that’s new with this update: ▶ APPLE WATCH APP On The Outsiders Apple Watch app Training Readiness takes center stage on Apple Watch - complete with a beautiful new animation. It reflects your recovery and recent training load, so you can quickly see how ready you are to train and what kind of effort fits today. Alongside Readiness, The Outsiders Apple Watch app also displays: • 7-day Training Load Ratio (TLR) • 7-night Sleeping Heart Rate • 7-night Heart Rate Variability (HRV) • 7-night Wrist Temperature • 7-night Respiratory Rate • 7-night Blood Oxygen • Recent nights’ Sleep Quality All of these metrics are there by default but you have the control via the Settings button over which of them get displayed and which not (if so desired). Kudos to Andrej and Luka for making this update happen. If being an Outsider feels right, don’t disappear into the woods alone.

Hello Outsiders! Time for an update as loaded as your quads. Well, almost. For those who love to spin the pedals, we’ve got something sweet: Cycling Power Zones now just a click away. That, and lots of smaller perks. Dig in. ▶ CYCLING POWER ZONES (CPZ) Yes, cyclist, we see you, we feel you, we are you! CPZ are now available in both the Workout Summary and the Progress tab. In the Workout Summary, you’ll see your Power Zone distribution next to Training Focus and Heart Rate Zones for every logged ride. In the Progress tab, you can track your 4-week and 12-week Power Zone distribution under Intensity Distribution, plus your Long-Term Overview displaying weekly CPZ distribution for all your recorded history. To see this feature, you’ll need cycling power data - which means a power meter. If you’re new to tracking power, this feature will appear after your first cycling power data log in Health. ▶ BODY METRICS The small charts on the Today tab now have an updated visualisation and transition between ranges. If you went far outside of your normal range with any of the metrics, this should now be clearly visible even when this measurement is already in the past. ▶ WORKOUT SUMMARY Each Heart Rate Zone and Power Zone now displays the minimum and maximum range value on the right side next to duration. This one doesn’t show up in the Progress tab, because your zones might change over time. ▶ TRAINING FOCUS ZONES Training Focus Zones are now displayed for all the workouts with at least one minute of your heart rate measurements above the bottom threshold. You can adjust your Training Focus Zones in The Outsiders > Profile > Personal & Fitness Details > Training Focus Zones. ▶ PROGRESS TAB Fitness cards (Endurance Fitness, Cardio Fitness, Cycling FTP) now display a date of your last logged value, to provide a better overview of your values at a glance. ▶ BUG FIXES With this version we also introduce the following set of bug fixes: ・ HR zones not saving > should now be saving correctly. ・ Body metrics (overnight vs. all-day) confusion > resolved. If you sleep with your watch, we’ll use overnight data. Keep in mind that if you miss tracking some nights, there will be a gap in your trend. If you don’t, we’ll take daytime measurements.
