A free alternative to Hevy
Hevy is a solid tracker. So is HeavyMuscle — except it also plans your sessions, suggests the next weight and shows what has already recovered. And it never caps your routines.

Common questions
- Is there a good free alternative to Hevy or Strong?
- HeavyMuscle keeps unlimited routines, unlimited history, the 873-exercise library, progress charts and the muscle-recovery map free, supported by occasional ads — never during a workout. As of 2026, Hevy's free plan caps you at 4 routines and 3 months of charts, and Strong's free plan limits routines too. If a paywall is what pushed you to look around, HeavyMuscle is the closest free replacement — and it imports your existing history.
- How do I switch to HeavyMuscle without losing my training history?
- Export your workouts as CSV from Hevy, Strong, Jefit, Fitbod or HeavySet (screenshots work when an app has no export), then open History in HeavyMuscle and tap the import icon. Every past session is previewed before saving, and your records, recovery map and progress charts pick up where the old app left off. Step-by-step export guides for each app are on the import page of this site.
- Is HeavyMuscle free?
- Yes. Workout tracking, the 873-exercise library, strength progress charts, body measurements, the recovery map and the AI coach (with a weekly quota) are all free, supported by occasional ads on browsing screens — never during an active workout. HeavyMuscle Pro is an optional subscription (monthly, annual or a one-time lifetime purchase) that removes ads and greatly raises the AI coach quota.
