Nishaana
The best free Gravl alternative.
Gravl is a newer, minimalist phone-first workout logger — details on its pricing and features are limited publicly, so treat specifics with care. Nishaana is free forever for logging, programs and 1RM/TDEE/macro calculators — with free auto-progression, a daily 0–100 score, 1,300+ exercises and a 30-second data import. All in your browser, no app store, no caps.
Four reasons to look elsewhere.
Log in a full browser, free
Gravl is a newer, phone-first workout logger. Nishaana runs the entire app in any browser and on desktop — no app store, nothing to download — so you can plan on a laptop and log on your phone with the same free account.
Free calculators built in
1RM, TDEE and macro calculators are free inside Nishaana. If all you have is a minimalist phone logger, you end up bouncing to other sites for the math — Nishaana keeps it in one place.
Free auto-progression
Nishaana tells you the weight and reps to beat next, for free. A lean logger usually just records what you did; you decide the next jump yourself.
A daily score, free
A single 0–100 score blends training, nutrition and recovery into one number that keeps you consistent — free, with no plan or subscription required.
To be fair to Gravl: a lean, minimalist logger can be a pleasant, fast experience if all you want is simple set logging on your phone. If that’s the whole job, a stripped-down app is great — Nishaana is the better fit when you also want free calculators, programs, progression and a daily score, and the freedom to log in a full browser.
Gravl vs what’s free in Nishaana.
Gravl is a newer, smaller app with limited public information; cells marked “Check site” or “Free tier + paid (check site)” are not verified numbers — confirm current pricing and features on the Gravl app’s own site or App Store listing. Nishaana details verified July 2026. Honest limit on our side: Nishaana is newer with a smaller community, and Apple Watch support is on the roadmap. Competitor names are trademarks of their respective owners.
More proof the free tools are real: 1RM calculator, TDEE calculator, macro calculator — and the workout tracker. See pricing and features.
Honest alternatives worth a look.
Strong (free tier)
Free unlimited logging with full history, capped at a few custom routines — one of the best pure free-logging deals, but phone/watch-first with no programming built in.
JEFIT (free tier)
Free includes a large exercise library and unlimited logging; AI progression and advanced analytics sit behind its Elite tier.
Boostcamp (free)
Free access to dozens of coach-designed programs (5/3/1, nSuns, PPL) with solid logging — great if you want a proven plan without paying a coach.

Common questions.
Is Gravl free?
Gravl is a newer, minimalist workout logger, and its pricing and free-tier details are limited in public sources. It appears to offer a free way to log workouts on your phone with paid options, but you should check the Gravl app’s own site or App Store listing for the current, accurate pricing before deciding.
What is the best free Gravl alternative?
Nishaana is a strong free Gravl alternative if you want more than a bare logger. Logging, programs and free 1RM/TDEE/macro calculators are free forever with no caps, it runs fully in your browser and on desktop, and it adds free auto-progression and a daily 0–100 score.
Is there a free workout logger that runs in a browser?
Yes. Nishaana runs the full app in any browser and on desktop — no app store, nothing to download — with free logging, built-in programs and free auto-progression. Most minimalist loggers like Gravl are phone-first, so browser logging is where Nishaana pulls ahead.
Can I import my Gravl data?
If you can export a CSV of your workout history, you can bring it into Nishaana in about 30 seconds. Gravl’s export options are limited in public sources, so check its app for how to get your data out — once you have a CSV, Nishaana takes it.
How is Nishaana different from Gravl?
Nishaana is a web-first training OS: the full app runs in the browser and on desktop, with 1,300+ exercises, built-in programs, free calculators, free auto-progression and a daily 0–100 score. Gravl is a newer, minimalist phone logger — genuinely pleasant if all you want is fast set logging on your phone.
