Switching

Your history comes with you

Your workouts come over from Hevy and Strong, your food diary from MyFitnessPal. Below, per app, is what Athverge reads, what comes in and what does not. First, what holds for all three.

What holds for every import

  • Look first, then act. The app reads your file and shows how much comes in, over which period, the first five rows and everything it did not recognise. Nothing is saved at that point.
  • An exercise Athverge does not know comes in as your own exercise, under its own name. It is not attached to the closest match, because then your graph would no longer be right.
  • Importing the same file twice does not create duplicate workouts or days.
  • Every import can be undone in one tap, on the server too. That works for your last ten imports, on the phone you made them on.
  • An import also works without signal and goes to the server by itself as soon as you are connected again.
  • It works the other way too: with the GDPR export in the app you take everything with you again.

How it works

  1. Request your data export in your current app. It is a CSV file; how to request it is explained in that app’s help.
  2. In Athverge, open More and choose Import data. There is no file picker in the app yet: you open the file and paste the whole contents, header row included.
  3. Choose Check first. You see what comes in and what does not, and only then do you import.

Switching from Hevy

A Hevy export has one row per set. For each set Athverge reads the workout, the exercise, the weight, the reps, the set type and your RPE, and where they are present also the distance, the time and your notes.

Warm-up sets, sets to failure and drop sets come in as the same set type. A set type the app does not know becomes a normal set, so nothing disappears.

If the file’s header says kilos or pounds, the app uses that. If it only says "weight", you choose the unit yourself before you import. Older and newer files both work: the app finds the columns by name, not by position.

Switching from Strong

From a Strong export, too, Athverge reads one row per set: date, workout, exercise, set order, weight, reps, distance, seconds, notes and RPE.

The weight is the most sensitive point. Newer files do not say whether it is kilos or pounds. If the unit is in the header, that wins; otherwise you choose it yourself before you import. A bench press in pounds that came in as kilos would skew your records for good.

The app recognises a warm-up set by a W in the set order. It also reads older exports with semicolons instead of commas.

Switching from MyFitnessPal

From MyFitnessPal comes the nutrition summary: one row per meal per day, with calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and fibre.

If your export only gives day totals, each day comes in as one row under a meal you choose yourself. If a total row sits next to the meals of the same day, the app skips it; otherwise every day would count twice.

Meal names in Dutch, English, Spanish or German are recognised. Anything the app does not know goes under Snacks.

What does not come over

Your body weight, your measurements and standalone cardio sessions, and from MyFitnessPal the vitamins and minerals. You start those afresh in Athverge.

An honest caveat

The importer is built on the publicly described export formats of these three apps, and has not yet been tested with a real export file from a user. If the app does not recognise your file, it says so before anything is saved.
