The social lifting app
Ask most lifters for a social lifting app and Hevy is the default today. It earned that. Gear is the social first lifting app. The feed is not a tab you remember after the workout.
A logger with comments is still a logger. A social lifting app starts from the people you train with, then treats the set as the post.
Hevy is the default
When someone says “social lifting app” in 2026, they usually mean Hevy. Ratings, install base, habit. We are not going to rewrite that.
Gear is social first
Friends, set by set, is the product. Streaks, PRs, and volume sit next to the people you lift with.
Who it’s for
Training groups. Lifting partners. The friend who always asks “what’d you hit.”
What is Gear? sorts the name. Strava for weightlifting is the metaphor. Hevy alternative and Gear vs Hevy are the honest comparisons.
