Steady: Quit Bad Habits

When an unwanted urge hits, Steady helps you create space for the next choice—in one tap, without a streak to protect or a form to finish.

Steady is a private, evidence-informed self-help companion for adults who want to reduce or stop an unwanted habit. It supports the moments before, during, and after an urge with practical tools that work without an account.

PAUSE IN ONE TAP
Start a calm guided Pause immediately. Follow paced breathing, change your setting, and use the response you prepared while clear-headed. Logging is optional and comes afterward.

PREPARE BEFORE THE URGE
Write one specific if–then response, add small environmental barriers, keep a kind note to yourself, and prepare a message for someone you trust. Steady opens a prefilled message for your review; it never sends one automatically.

ADD FRICTION ON IPHONE
With Steady Plus, iPhone Shield uses Apple Screen Time to block the apps, websites, or categories you choose. Apple keeps those selections private. Steady stores opaque tokens and counts, not the names of selected apps or websites.

BUILD SKILLS, NOT STREAKS
See six capabilities you can practice: Notice, Prepare, Pause, Redirect, Return, and Learn. A difficult day does not erase previous practice. Optional check-ins help you notice patterns around sleep, stress, mood, connection, cues, and time of day.

RETURN WITHOUT SHAME
If you act on an urge, come back honestly. Record only what feels useful, learn from the conditions around the moment, and choose one small next step. There is no purity score, public leaderboard, or streak reset.

SHORT LESSONS, REAL SOURCES
Turn evidence-linked lessons into manageable experiments. Steady avoids fixed-day “brain reset,” dopamine-detox, and guaranteed recovery claims.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your notes, plans, contacts, and reflections are stored in an encrypted vault on your device. Steady has no ads or third-party analytics. Optional AI personalization is off until you choose it and sends a limited behavior summary—not your name, notes, contacts, reasons, Screen Time choices, or written plans.

ALWAYS FREE
The emergency Pause, prepared response, letter to yourself, trusted-person message, check-in, settings, and full data deletion remain free.

STEADY PLUS
An optional auto-renewable subscription unlocks personalized daily plans, iPhone Shield, the full lesson library, and private progress. Exact pricing and any trial are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Steady provides educational self-help. It does not diagnose or treat any medical or mental health condition and is not an emergency service. If you may harm yourself or someone else, contact local emergency services or a trusted person who can stay with you.
