Import & export

Lock-in is a business model, not a feature. Forge imports your past and exports your everything.

Reading time

Importing

  • Strong CSV — Settings → Data → Import from Strong. Full history: workouts, sets, exercise names.
  • Hevy CSV — same flow, Hevy's export format.

Imported exercises are matched to the built-in library by name; unknown ones become custom exercises (fix their muscle groups in bulk with Re-categorize). PRs recompute chronologically after import, so your trophies reflect the true timeline — imported history included.

Exporting

  • Full JSONGET /api/export/json: every workout, set, exercise, routine and measurement in one structured document. The canonical backup of record.
  • Strong-compatible CSVGET /api/export/strong: take your history to any app that reads Strong's format.
  • Database backup — admins can download the SQLite file directly, and enable nightly snapshots to /data/backups.
