6 New trackers to log in 2026

The new year is here, and like many of us, you might be a few weeks into your 2026 New Year’s resolutions. Whether you’re working on a new routine or building on an existing one, accountability is key. We’ve added new lifestyle trackers to the app — one of our most requested features — to make tracking habits even easier for you! 

You’ll find the new trackers with the existing ones — press the plus icon to open the Add Data screen, where you can also log pain and symptoms, moods and emotions, write your own notes, and more.  Without further ado, here are six new trackers to log in 2026:

1. Walking

Whatever your fitness goals in 2026, don’t underestimate the impact walking can have on your health. Whether you clock those steps tidying up at home or out on a hike, they all add up.

There might be days when less intense activity, like walking, feels like the right thing for your body — especially around your period. If you’re looking to sync your activities to your cycle phase, look for the new exercise and nutrition recommendations on the Today tab. (Everyone is different, so if you feel like doing something else, go for it!)

2. Strength training

A lot of exercise-based resolutions focus on cardio, but strength training is also important for our health and longevity. It doesn’t have to mean lifting weights at the gym — it can be anything from pilates to resistance bands to carrying a toddler. 

Whether you’re in your 20s or 40s, strength training to maintain or build lean muscle mass is great for your body. And if you’re in perimenopause, it can help boost your mood, support bone health, and for some, improve symptoms like hot flashes.

3. Rest day

While regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, it’s equally important to remember that rest and recovery are crucial for reaping the benefits of your workouts — and keeping a new exercise routine sustainable. 

So when you log “Rest day” in the NC° app, take a moment to congratulate yourself for making space for your body to recover.

4. Other activity

We tend to think about exercise as the only movement that “counts” or is worth tracking. However, engaging in varied baseline activity (i.e., non-sedentary time) throughout the day is extremely beneficial. 

That’s why we created a tracker for other kinds of meaningful movement. It can be a sport not listed or a non-sport physical activity, like gardening, playing with kids, reorganizing your closet, etc. Remember, you can also use the notes section below the trackers to add more info about the type of activity you did that day. Here, you can also record how you felt.

5. Alcohol

We all know alcohol can change how we feel — sometimes positively while we’re enjoying it, and sometimes negatively the day after. Have you ever considered how it might affect your mood or symptoms? Now we’ve added it as a lifestyle tracker, so you can log it the day you drink alcohol to help spot correlations and trends over time. 

If you’ll be reintroducing alcohol after a dry January, tracking how you feel can be an interesting way to compare what you notice with and without alcohol.

Remember that if you feel hungover the day after you drink, you should also log hungover in the app to exclude your temperature. 

6. Mindfulness

Whether you’re already settled in a mindfulness practice, or are creating a new routine for yourself in the new year, this is a great one to log. Mindfulness — however it looks for you — can benefit both mind and body, and be a great way to combat stress. 

Did you know that stress can affect your menstrual cycle? By keeping track of activities like meditation, body scans, or just noticing what your senses are taking in at any given moment, you’ll be able to see if patterns emerge in your cycle or symptoms over time. Maybe you experience fewer mood swings the more you meditate? Maybe you feel less tired? Tracking can lead to insights that guide you to better wellness. 

Let’s get tracking!

You’ll find these new trackers and many more — from lifestyle and self-care to exercise and nutrition — in the NC° app by clicking the plus icon. If you don’t see them, make sure they’re turned on under Menu > Settings > Trackers. Over time, you can visualize patterns and trends in your Cycle Insights, which can help you make more informed decisions. 

Building a habit is a powerful thing, and we wish you all the best on your journey of self-care and self-discovery. Watch this space for more features and updates coming to Natural Cycles this year.
