A Hevy alternative that tracks food too
Updated 30 October 2026
Hevy is a great workout logger. What it does not do is food. If you run Hevy next to a calorie counter, URBDY does both, and it can bring your Hevy history with you.

Where Hevy is strong
Hevy is quick to log with, has a big community and a free plan you can use for a long time. If you only want to log lifts, it is a solid choice.
Why people switch
Most lifters also care about what they eat. With Hevy that means a second app, and often a second subscription. URBDY logs your sets and your meals in the same place, and its meal planner picks cheap, high-protein recipes you can actually cook.
Bring your Hevy history
- In Hevy, open Profile, then the settings cog.
- Tap "Export & Import Data", then "Export Workouts", and save the file.
- In URBDY, choose that file. Your records and charts carry on.
