Quick answers to the most common questions. Can't find yours? We're a message away.
Getting started
How do I set up my first program?
Open the Program tab and tap New program. Pick a split and a progression, choose 8, 12 or 16 weeks, then enter one recent set (weight × reps) for each main lift. Not sure of a lift? Choose “Find it in the first session” and SetForge works it out as you train.
Which progression should I pick?
Linear waves suits most lifters: four-week waves of 12, 10, 8 and 6 reps that get heavier every week. Pick a pace (Easy, Moderate or Hard) in the wizard or later in Program settings. The percentage table suits people who train very consistently; double progression suits irregular schedules.
Can I change my program after I've started?
Yes. Edit days and exercises from the program editor, and coach rules, pace, rest and units from Program settings. Changes apply from your next workout; past workouts keep the plan they were done on.
In the gym
The rest timer doesn't show on my Lock Screen.
Allow Live Activities for SetForge: on your iPhone go to Settings → SetForge → Live Activities. Also check SetForge's Live Activities setting inside the app (Settings → Live Activities).
I don't hear or feel the rest timer finishing.
Allow notifications for SetForge in your phone's settings. On Android 13 and later, SetForge asks for notification permission when you start your first workout. Check that a Focus mode or Do Not Disturb isn't silencing it.
How does SetForge decide my next weight?
Hit every rep at the target and you move up; miss and you repeat the week; miss twice and the wave resets lighter. After each workout, the Plan updated screen shows exactly what changed and why.
Data and sync
Do I need internet to train?
No. Workouts are saved on your phone first and sync when you're back online. If something can't sync, Settings → Sync issues shows what and why.
How do I import my workouts from Hevy?
Go to Settings → Import from Hevy. Connect with your Hevy API key, or upload the CSV export from Hevy. You'll review how exercises are matched before anything is imported.
How do I export my data?
Settings → Export my data creates a download of everything in CSV and JSON.
I got a new phone. How do I get my data back?
Install SetForge and sign in with the same method you used before (Apple, Google or email). Your programs and history sync down automatically.
Subscription and account
How does the free trial work?
Every feature is free for 2 months. After that, SetForge is A$3.99 per month. Cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged.
How do I cancel my subscription?
iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → SetForge. Android: Google Play → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Deleting the app doesn't cancel the subscription.
How do I get a refund?
Purchases are handled by Apple or Google, so refunds are requested from them: reportaproblem.apple.com for the App Store, or Google Play's order history.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings → Delete account. You can also ask us by email. Account deletion details.
