Gentled helps people with chronic illness make movement, fitness, and exercise fit changing capacity, then learn what was actually tolerated later. Built for chronic illness, pain, fatigue, PEM risk, dysautonomia, hypermobility, flare days, and changing capacity, Gentled supports bed-based movement, mobility, strength, balance, stamina, walking or wheeling, physio, classes, and everyday activity. It starts with today's body rather than a generic workout plan. What Gentled helps with: - Check today's readiness before movement. - Choose restorative, light, or steady options. - Build a flexible weekly rhythm around mobility, strength, balance, stamina, or recovery goals. - Choose a weekly exercise focus with harder-day, everyday, and stronger-day options. - Add optional movement invitations on days you choose, without creating missed workouts. - Check in and control a session from Apple Watch, with optional session-only live heart rate that is treated as context rather than a safety score. - Keep the next useful action visible with iPhone, Lock Screen, Smart Stack, and Apple Watch widgets. - Bring movement from outside Gentled into the same week and recovery loop. - Save movement instructions you already use, open them again from Today, and run them as a text-led session without Gentled rewriting them. - See recorded active time and exercise goals represented in your week without rings, streaks, or a minutes target. - Filter suggestions by position, body area, equipment, and stop signals. - Rest, stop early, make easier, or switch position during a session. - Log immediate response and delayed recovery 12 to 48 hours later. - See which movement was tolerated, pending, or needs caution. - Export CSV history or create optional Gentled+ PDF reports. - Use the app without accounts, analytics, ads, or tracking. Gentled is wellness self-management support. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physiotherapy, rehabilitation prescriptions, or guarantees that movement is safe. Your symptoms and judgement always outrank the app. Terms of Use: https://www.cocoacorn.com/gentled/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.cocoacorn.com/gentled/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DrinkDay at none against Gentled's 1. DrinkDay also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Gentled's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
