A Hevy alternative without a social feed.
If you're looking for a Hevy alternative because you prefer a private, individual training log without a social feed, MyoAmigo may fit.

Hevy also runs on Android and the web, while MyoAmigo has native iPhone and Apple Watch apps and an optional web app for synced accounts.
This page is the quick, decision-oriented version. If you want the deep dive, read the full MyoAmigo vs Hevy comparison.
The short version
Hevy combines workout logging with a social feed, follows, and discovery features, alongside mobile and web access. Its privacy settings let you make your profile private and individual workouts private; its help documentation says the Discover feed remains. MyoAmigo takes an individual, social-free approach and adds editable training suggestions and analysis for people who want more guidance than a log alone.
If you already use Hevy and want fewer social prompts, Hevy's instructions say you can make your profile private, hide suggested users, and set workout visibility to private. The Discover feed still remains. If you want an app with no social feed, follows, or likes at all, MyoAmigo takes that approach by default.

Why pick MyoAmigo over Hevy
Consider switching if you want a social-free training space plus suggestions about progression and training trends. MyoAmigo pre-fills prior set values and offers editable suggestions from your history and logged effort; you can change them to fit the day.
- Help reviewing a possible stall. The Stall Advisor looks at recent top working sets and effort, then can suggest options such as a deload, resetting reps at a load, changing a training variable, or trying a variation. It is a prompt to review your training, not a guaranteed diagnosis or required prescription.
- Honest session verdicts. After you finish, MyoAmigo judges the session against your own norms and calls it: breakthrough, strong, solid, light, or empty—with the reason. No participation trophy, no "great job."
- A weekly plan you schedule. The weekly plan manager puts routines on weekdays. Miss a day and it offers that session later in the week, up to a catch-up cutoff you set. The week resets every Monday. You get a schedule, not just a list of routines.
- A plan generator that shows its work. Tell it your goal, days per week, and experience level, and the generator builds a weekly program with starting weights inferred from your history (or estimated from related lifts) and reasoning attached to every choice.
- Volume context. MyoAmigo compares logged muscle volume with evidence-based working-set ranges, adding context alongside workout and muscle-group charts.
Connect your own AI assistant
MyoAmigo supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini use to reach tools. With account access configured, an assistant can read synced training history, PRs, and muscle balance, then write routines, plans, and sets back into MyoAmigo. There are 47 account-scoped MCP tools. Read the MCP setup guide for access requirements and provider data handling.
Private training without social features
MyoAmigo does not require an account for local workout recording, which remains available offline. Cloud sync is optional, and you can export your workout history to CSV. The app uses anonymous first-party aggregate usage counters by default; you can turn them off in Settings. Data sent through network connections is encrypted in transit.
When Hevy wins
Hevy may be the better fit in several cases:
- You want a native Android app. MyoAmigo has native iPhone and Apple Watch apps plus an optional web app for synced accounts; it has no native Android app. If you carry an Android phone, Hevy is your app, full stop.
- You want community. Hevy's social feed—following friends, seeing their workouts, likes and accountability—is a genuine feature MyoAmigo does not have. If training with friends keeps you going, that matters.
- You want a mature ecosystem today. Hevy has been shipping for years and has more integrations and installs. MyoAmigo is newer.
When MyoAmigo wins
- You want local workout recording without a required account; optional sync is available. Anonymous first-party aggregate usage counters are enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings.
- You want to wire your real training history into your own AI assistant and have it adjust your plan—MyoAmigo ships this first-party, supported, and account-scoped. (Hevy has no first-party equivalent; a community-built Hevy MCP project reportedly exists.)
- You want session context and help reviewing a possible stall through editable suggestions based on recent performance and effort.
- You want gym arrival notifications, a membership barcode, per-gym equipment lists, and a real weekly schedule with catch-up logic.
- You want a watch app that runs a full standalone session—crown-dial reps, one-tap logging, rest timer, and heart rate (average and peak) stamped on every set.
The bottom line
Hevy may suit you if you want social training features, Android, or web access. MyoAmigo may suit you if you want a social-free, offline-capable log with optional sync and editable training suggestions. Its anonymous first-party aggregate usage counters are on by default and can be disabled in Settings. For the full breakdown, read MyoAmigo vs Hevy.
