The short answer
Our pick is Brolic, the only tracker here that also logs your food and tracks protocols like GLP-1, TRT and peptides, with AI-built programs on top. If you only want a free logger, start with Strong or Hevy. Boostcamp has the programs, and Fitbod and MacroFactor Workouts pick your next weights.

How to choose
Best overall
Brolic
Lifting, food and protocols in one app, with AI-built programs.
Free and simple
Strong, Hevy
Strong saves unlimited workouts for free; Hevy adds a web app.
Follow a proven program
Boostcamp
A free library of coach-written programs.
Let the app pick the weights
Fitbod, MacroFactor Workouts
Both adjust load and reps from what you logged.
Pay once, keep it
Hevy, Strong
Lifetime Pro: $74.99 for Hevy, $99.99 for Strong.
What the free tiers allow
Count your saved routines before you pick a free tier. Strong saves three custom routines and Hevy four, so a four-day upper/lower split with A and B days fits Hevy’s free tier but not Strong’s. Boostcamp does not cap the programs you run. Fitbod and MacroFactor Workouts have no free tier. Fitbod lets you view past workouts after the trial, but logging needs a plan.
Automatic progression is a paid feature: Hevy Trainer and Boostcamp’s Auto Progression sit in the paid tier, and Fitbod and MacroFactor Workouts are paid apps. Free Hevy shows your previous sets next to each new one, which is enough if you plan the next weight yourself.
Add food tracking: four pairings
Five of the six track lifting only, so most lifters pair one with a food app. Four setups that pair a workout log with a food tracker:
Free tiers in both
Hevy + Cronometer
Your own routine and a detailed food diary, in two apps.
$89.99 a year
MacroFactor Workouts + Nutrition
Two apps in one bundle; they share body weight, and neither adjusts the other.
Free tiers in both
Boostcamp + Cronometer
A structured program plus a separate food diary.
Hevy free + $71.99 a year
Hevy + MacroFactor Nutrition
Keep your Hevy history and change only the food app.
Cronometer’s free Basic plan includes its barcode scanner. Pairs work, but you review training and food in two places.
Brolic: the all-in-one pick
Brolic is an iPhone app that keeps food logging, workout tracking, protocols and progress in one place. Its Protocols track GLP-1, TRT, peptide and other routines you enter yourself, with reminders and injection-site rotation, beside your meals and training. It is the product at brolic.app, developed by PSG Labs Inc.
Its AI drafts workout programs and food entries, checks them against Brolic’s own exercise and food catalogs, and shows you an editable draft before anything is saved. How Brolic’s AI works explains the steps.
Brolic is on the App Store for iPhone. It costs US$99.99 a year or US$19.99 a month, and the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
Try one ordinary week before moving everything
Log a real session in your shortlist: for example, a row at 50 kg for 12, 11 and 10 reps, then find it again when you plan the next one. Check that your split fits the routine limit, that previous sets show while you log, and that the app exports what you want to keep. This is a suggested test, not one we claim to have run in each app.
