Import your history

Kohlrabi imports workout history from Hevy, Strong and MacroFactor exports, a CSV in the Kohlrabi format, or a Kohlrabi JSON backup, and nothing joins your log until you review the preview and tap Import.

Review the matches

Each exercise that needs you has a menu: Match: …, Create custom, Use existing exercise… or Skip. One choice covers every workout.

  • Workouts already in your history are pre-skipped. Untick Skip this workout to import one anyway.
  • Rows with a bad date or unreadable weight or reps are listed and left out.

Your own CSV

Use Download the column template on the import screen. Columns: date,workout_name,exercise,set,reps,weight_lb,rpe,tags,notes,duration_s.

  • Rows sharing date (YYYY-MM-DD) and workout_name form a workout. weight_lb is pounds.
  • tags takes set tag names separated by semicolons.
  • In set, W1 marks a warm-up and F a failure set.

Backups and exports

Settings → Data has Export data (JSON), a full backup, and Export workouts (CSV), in the columns above.

To restore, choose the backup on the import screen and tap Restore backup. It replaces all your data, after two confirmations. Undo last restore works for 30 days.
