Steady is a wellness support platform built by Steady Technologies, Inc. The web experience is available now; the native iOS app and optional HRV/Apple Health features are in development. Steady does not diagnose emotional states or replace therapy, medical care, or crisis services.

Your Experience, Visualized

Stress can show up in patterns.
Steady helps you notice them.

Get Support starts with what you notice and choose in the moment. For the future iOS experience, optional HRV context is being developed as one additional signal that may prompt a check-in when your personal data shifts.

Regulated

Feeling steady. Use this as a simple check-in with what you notice right now.

Tap to explore each state

Most apps are built for when you're calm enough to use them.
Steady is built for when you're not.The Steady Principle
A Real Moment

You know this feeling.
Your body knew it first.

This is the moment every other app misses. Steady was built for exactly this.

💬
"We need to talk."Your chest tightens. You're already composing a response you haven't thought through.
🤚
You catch yourself.Before you react, you open the app and tap Get Support. That pause is the intervention — and it's yours.
You name what you're feeling.Anxious. Overwhelmed. Restless. Steady offers a short set of breathing, grounding, movement, or reflection options based on the experience you select.
🧘
You do the work — in under 90 seconds.A somatic reset, a movement exercise, a breathing sequence. Tools that work at the body level, where activation actually lives.
✅
You respond — or you don't.Either way, it's a choice. Made from clarity, not from fear. That's what changes over time.

Available Now + In Development

Support you can start now.
Optional context we're building next.

Get Support is available in the web experience now. For iOS, we are developing optional Apple Health and HRV features that may offer a check-in when your personal data shifts. HRV is context, not a diagnosis or emotion detector.

Planned: HRV Context → Optional Check-In Prompts

With permission, the future iOS experience is being designed to compare HRV patterns with your own baseline and offer a gentle check-in when data shifts. A change in HRV can have many causes and does not prove emotional activation.

Planned: Apple Health Integration

Apple Health can bring supported wearable data into one place. Steady is being designed to use available data as optional context and exclude known workout periods where possible to reduce exercise-related noise. It cannot determine why an HRV value changed.

Available Now: Get Support

When you notice the feeling yourself, Get Support is right there. You choose what you're experiencing and Steady offers a short set of support options you can move through at your own pace.

What Steady Does

Not features. Outcomes.

Every part of Steady exists to answer one question: what do you do next?

❤️
Planned · HRV Context

Adds optional physiological context to your check-in.

For iOS, opt-in HRV context is being developed to help surface meaningful changes relative to your own patterns. It will not diagnose your emotional state or tell you why a change happened.

◎
In Development · Pattern Insights

Helps you notice recurring patterns over time.

Future insights are being designed to summarize patterns across your own check-ins and support sessions so you can reflect on what tends to show up and what you found useful.

〰️
Available Now · Grounding, Breathing & Movement

Short regulation practices for the moment you're in.

Choose from brief evidence-informed breathing, grounding, movement, and reflection practices based on what you report feeling. Steady does not provide EMDR therapy.

◈
Boundary Builder

Turn emotional reactions into boundaries you'll keep.

Once you're regulated, you decide. The response. The boundary. The intentional pause. From a clear mind, not a reactive one.

✉️
Unsent Vault

A place to process before you send.

You write what you actually feel — no filter, no consequence. Then decide from clarity what, if anything, deserves a response.

✦
Pattern Insights

Track the patterns. Break the cycles.

You see your own loops — clearly, over time. The patterns that keep repeating lose their power once you can name them.

A weekly therapy session might last one hour.

Life happens during the other 167.

The argument that came out of nowhere. The panic at 2am when your thoughts won't stop. Overthinking every word of a conversation that already happened. The difficult message you need to respond to — right now. The decision you made from fear instead of intention. The text you sent before you were ready.

Those are the moments when insight can be harder to access.
A short pause will not solve everything, but it can create room to choose what comes next.

That is the gap Steady is designed to support.

Customer Discovery

Built from real conversations.

Steady has been shaped by discovery interviews with therapists and people navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, and difficult life transitions. These conversations guide product questions; they are not clinical evidence.

"
The need to be heard, right now

A recurring theme was the need to feel understood in the moment before advice or problem-solving felt useful.

"
The body reacts before the mind catches up

Several people described physical cues such as a racing heart, chest tension, or changes in breathing alongside emotional overwhelm.

"
A recurring usability gap

Another recurring theme was that many wellness tools felt hardest to use during the very moments people felt most overwhelmed. That gap became central to Steady's product direction.

The Team

The science demanded a product like this.
