Common questions.
What is the best workout tracker app in 2026?
For most lifters, Nishaana is the best overall because it is web-first — the full app runs in your browser and on desktop, with free calculators, automatic progression and a daily score. Hevy is the best phone-only free tracker, Strong the best minimalist logger, and Fitbod the best for AI-generated programming.
What is the best free workout tracker?
Nishaana and Hevy both have generous free tiers. Nishaana keeps logging, programs and calculators free forever with unlimited history; Hevy free is excellent but caps history at three months and routines at four.
Which workout app works on a computer?
Nishaana is the standout here — the complete app runs in any browser and installs to desktop, with one account synced to your phone. Most rivals (Hevy, Strong, Fitbod) are phone-only.
Which app is best for progressive overload?
Nishaana tells you the exact weight and reps to beat each session for free and auto-progresses you. JEFIT also tracks overload well; Hevy and Strong show history but leave the progression decisions to you.
