Hevy is a free workout tracking app for iOS and Android that logs your gym sessions, tracks your strength progress over time, and lets you share workouts with friends through a social feed.
The free tier includes unlimited workout logging, a built-in rest timer, and a large exercise library that includes everything from barbell lifts to CrossFit movements, handstands, and Pilates-inspired accessory work. You can also log directly from your wrist with compatible wearables.

The logging experience fast and organized
Starting a session in Hevy takes about ten seconds. You either start a blank workout and add exercises as you go, or start from a saved routine. Adding a set is a single tap, modifying weight and reps takes two taps, and there's a built-in rest timer that starts automatically after each logged set. The interface is clean enough that you won't spend half your rest period fumbling with the app.

There's also a standalone stopwatch for timed exercises, which is useful for planks, timed sets, or when you want to track rest precisely without relying on the automatic timer. The Wear OS app lets you log sets directly from your watch, which means you can leave your phone in your bag between sets instead of picking it up every time you finish a set.
Sharing sessions with gym friends?
Hevy's social feed lets you share workouts and see what your training partners are up to in real time. If you're doing that over cellular, a Verizon MVNO gives you the same coverage at a fraction of the price.

An exercise library built for how people actually train
Most gym logs cover the standard barbell and dumbbell movements and not much else. Hevy's library extends well beyond that. You'll find CrossFit movements, calisthenics progressions, Pilates-style core work, kettlebell lifts, and functional training exercises alongside the classics. If your training program includes ring rows, cable pull-throughs, or walking handstands alongside your main lifts, Hevy has them.
Each exercise includes a muscle group tag, so after a few weeks of logging you can pull up a breakdown of how your training volume is distributed. Seeing that split in numbers is a useful reality check.
What's free and what requires Pro
The free tier covers unlimited workout logging, the full exercise library, a rest timer, and a social feed. The only two things the free version doesn't include are unlimited custom routines (capped at seven) and full graph history beyond three months.
Most casual gym-goers won't run into either limit in the first few months. If you're building complex periodized programs or want to look back at a full year of strength data, Pro at $4.99/month makes sense.

Hevy vs. FitNotes: Which one should you use?
Both apps are free gym logs, but they're built for different users. FitNotes (Android only) is better for straightforward powerlifting-style training, like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses. It also has a clean muscle group analysis view. It's offline-first and has no social features, which some people prefer.
Hevy is the better choice if you train on both iOS and Android, want a wider exercise library, use a Wear OS watch, or want the social accountability layer of sharing workouts. If you're an iPhone user, Hevy is the only option between the two.
