Hevy alternative

Hevy is a full gym tracker with routines, an exercise library and a feed where friends see your sessions. Log App keeps a workout as one entry with a round per exercise, shows nothing to anyone, and sits next to your other logs. If the feed is the part of Hevy you skip, this page is for you.

Facts about Hevy come from its public feature list as of September 2026 (hevyapp.com) and are kept general on purpose. If something has changed, tell us and we fix the page.

Side by side

Feature by feature

FeatureHevyLog App
Social feed Follow friends, like and comment on workouts; profiles can be public or private. No feed, no followers, no profiles. Your entries are visible only to you.
Exercise library Large library with animations and custom exercises. No library. Exercise names are free text, remembered per log.
Routines Routine builder and shared routines; the free tier limits how many routines you keep and Pro lifts it (as of September 2026). Routines such as "Push day" that start from your last session's numbers, shown in grey and saved as shown unless you type over one. You save a routine from a logged session; there is no library of shared routines.
Rest timer and supersets Rest timer, supersets and a set-by-set flow. Session timer only; each set is a round in the entry.
Watch and Health Apple Watch and Wear OS apps and health-platform sync are listed on the public feature page. Phone only. No watch app and no Apple Health sync, as of September 2026.
Analytics Per-exercise charts, volume and records, more of it in Pro. Per-exercise max, average and totals, plus an AI summary of recent entries with a suggested goal.
Other logs Workouts and body measurements. Any log you define, with its own variables, units, goal and map.
Attachments Photos on a workout post. Photos, sketches and voice notes on any entry; 25 free, more with premium.
Platforms iOS, Android and a web app. iOS beta via TestFlight, as of September 2026.
Price Free with limits, Hevy Pro subscription (as of September 2026). Free for logging; premium lifts the AI-analysis and attachment limits and adds place search.
Who each one suits

Better for

Hevy is better if

  • You train with friends and the feed keeps you accountable.
  • You want shared routines, supersets and a rest timer built into the logging flow.
  • You log on a watch or on the web as well as on the phone.

Log App is better if

  • You want a workout log that no one else can see, with no social layer to opt out of.
  • Workouts are one of several things you track and you want one app, not four.
  • You want the consistency tools, a weekly goal, a streak and a calendar heatmap, more than set-level analytics.
  • Your exercises do not map onto a library, such as physio drills, climbing conditioning or home-gym improvisation.
Switching

Moving from Hevy to Log App

Log App imports a CSV into any log: it reads the file on your device, works out the delimiter, the encoding and the date format, suggests what each column becomes, and shows you the entries before it writes any of them. So how much comes across depends on the export you can get out of Hevy โ€” the steps below say what to do either way.

  1. Install Log App and pick "Strength Training" during setup. The log has an Exercise round with Reps and Weight, a weekly goal of three sessions, and a few example entries you can clear with one tap.
  2. Log your next sessions in both apps for a fortnight. Log App works without an account, so nothing is lost if you decide against it.
  3. Add the variables you miss. A "Rest" number in seconds or a "Volume" note is one tap in log settings.
  4. Hevy lists a data export among its features. Save that CSV and import it into the new log from the log's settings if you want the history in one place; there is no direct connection between the two apps, so the export is the whole path.
Questions

Frequently asked

Is Log App a social workout app?

No. There is no feed, no followers and no public profile. Entries are on your phone first and sync to your account when you sign in.

Does Log App have routines?

Yes. Log a session, save its rounds as a routine, and next time tap it under "Start from". Each exercise starts from the numbers you did last time, in grey; leave them or type over the ones that changed. Routines are yours only, with no limit on how many you keep.

Can I move my Hevy data into Log App?

Through a CSV export from Hevy, yes. Log App reads the file, suggests what each column becomes and shows the entries before it adds them; nothing is written until you tap Import.

Which one is cheaper?

Both have a free tier. Log App's free tier has no entry limit and no routine cap; premium raises the AI-analysis and attachment limits. Hevy's pricing is on its site.

The short version

Hevy is a strong pick if the social side is what gets you to the gym. Log App is the quieter option: the same round-per-exercise structure, a goal and a streak, and no one watching. It also happens to hold your sleep and your runs, which is usually the reason people stay.

Get the app

Free during the beta. Tap the button, TestFlight opens, install, done. Your logs stay on your phone until you sign in, then they back up and sync.
