What a working version needs:

iOS or Android device
optional HealthKit or Health Connect permission

03What you'd give up

mobile apps, social features, watch integration, sync, and polished tracking
wearable hardware data
coach network
clinical validation
large content library and social network

People still pay for Hevy Pro because people pay for polished mobile capture, trusted content, hardware integration, and coaching rather than the basic logbook. The recurring cost buys sensor permissions, data quality, notifications, safety language, accessibility, sync, privacy, content review, and support, not just the visible interface.

04Free and cheaper alternatives

LiftLogopen-source

Sets, timers, plans and charts live on the phone instead of behind a lifetime unlock.

Versus paying: LiftLog lacks Hevy's large social community, polished exercise discovery, coaching-style routine marketplace, wearable integrations, and cross-platform sharing experience.

FitNotesfree

A no-ad Android lifting log that has been doing the basic job for years.

Versus paying: FitNotes is Android-only and gives up Hevy's iOS/web presence, social feed, friend comparisons, richer exercise media, and polished cloud synchronization.

wgeropen-source

Workouts, sets, timers and charts on your own server; setup day counts as cardio.

Versus paying: wger is broader but its logging flow, exercise media, offline/mobile polish, social layer, and instant setup are less refined than Hevy's.
