Liftsmith

Switch from FitNotes without losing your history

Years of logged sets shouldn't keep you in an app. Export a CSV from FitNotes, import it into Liftsmith, and every workout, set and personal best comes with you. It takes a few minutes, and the file is read on your device, never uploaded.

How to move your workouts

  1. Open FitNotes and go to its settings.
  2. Find the spreadsheet export and export your workouts. FitNotes saves them as a CSV file.
  3. To bring your body weight and measurements too, export the body tracker the same way. It's a second file.
  4. Save the files somewhere you can reach from the phone or computer you'll use for Liftsmith, like your files app, email or a cloud drive.
  5. Open Liftsmith (the app, or the web app in any browser) and go to Settings, then Data.
  6. Tap Import from another app (CSV) and pick the file.
  7. Check the exercise list. Liftsmith matches each of your exercises to one in its library; change any it got wrong, or keep it as your own exercise.
  8. Tap Import. Your workouts appear in your history, and your next plan starts from them.

What comes across

  • ✓ Every workout day with every set's weight and reps, and timed sets such as planks
  • ✓ Cardio with its time and distance, in the unit you logged it in
  • ✓ Body weight, body fat and tape measurements, from the body tracker export

Good to know

  • FitNotes' file says the weight unit in its header, so there's nothing to choose.
  • FitNotes logs a day rather than a start time, so each workout is filed under its date.
  • Importing the same file twice adds nothing, so you can import again later to bring newer workouts across.

What changes after you switch

Your history isn't just kept, it's used. Liftsmith reads your imported sets to estimate your max on every lift, sets the weight for your next workout from them, and shows how many sets each muscle got recently on the recovery map. Instead of picking what to do each day, you open the app and the workout is already planned around your equipment, recovery and time.
