An iOS app that pairs Apple Health biometric data with 90-second somatic resets — for real-time nervous system regulation, exactly when you need it.
Steady is a real-time nervous system support platform built by Steady Technologies, Inc., designed to help you regulate during moments of stress, emotional overwhelm, and activation — including the time between therapy sessions.
Your nervous system moves through states — and Steady reads them. The HRV flow sends a gentle prompt when your data shifts. The Get Support flow is always one tap away when you're ready.
Regulated
Baseline. You're in your window of tolerance. Steady is listening.
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
This is the moment every other app misses. Steady was built for exactly this.
From emotional activation to regulation — in just a few steps.
Get Support is always one tap away when you need it. But Steady also works quietly in the background — so it can nudge you before you even realize you're activated.
When your Heart Rate Variability signals nervous system activation, you get a gentle notification — a nudge to check in and regulate before things escalate. This is a separate flow from Get Support, running quietly in the background.
Works with all major wearables. Steady reads your physiological data through Apple Health — and skips workout sessions automatically so it only flags genuine activation.
When you notice the feeling yourself, Get Support is right there. You name what you're feeling, get matched to the right tools for your state, and move through the reset at your own pace.
Every part of Steady exists to answer one question: what do you do next?
You get support before you even know you need it. Detection is passive, continuous, and never asks you to do anything first.
You interrupt the cycle before you're fully inside it. The pattern gets weaker every time you do.
You regulate from the body up — not from the mind down. Because that's where activation actually lives.
Once you're regulated, you decide. The response. The boundary. The intentional pause. From a clear mind, not a reactive one.
You write what you actually feel — no filter, no consequence. Then decide from clarity what, if anything, deserves a response.
You see your own loops — clearly, over time. The patterns that keep repeating lose their power once you can name them.
Therapy lasts one hour.
Life happens during the other 167.
That's not a failure of your character.
That's your nervous system — unaccompanied.
That's where you needed support all along.
This wasn't built from assumptions. Every feature was shaped by discovery interviews with therapists and people navigating anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life transitions.
Every person interviewed described the same thing: they didn't need advice. They needed to feel understood in the moment — before anything else could help.
Racing heart. Chest tightening. Shallow breathing. Physical symptoms consistently appeared before people were consciously aware they were activated.
Across every interview, the same gap emerged: wellness apps require you to already be calm to use them. Nobody was building for the moment when you weren't.
Public health research. Clinical practice. Enterprise-scale execution. All three in the room from day one.

Building this because emotional regulation shouldn't end when the therapy hour does. Years of research into chronic stress and cardiovascular disease made the case undeniable — and personal.
