## What is Steady Parent?

When your child needs you, Steady makes it simple.

Steady Parent is the caregiver side of a quiet, two-way communication system for neurodivergent families. A child can reach out from Steady Child or a standalone Apple Watch with one clear tap. You receive their alert and can answer with a reassuring quick reply or a message of your own.

No long explanation in a difficult moment. No big interruption. Just a direct way to say “I need a break,” “I’m ready to leave,” or whatever your family needs most.

WITH STEADY PARENT, YOU CAN:

• Receive alerts from paired child devices and watches
• Reply with one-tap phrases or a custom message
• Create and arrange alert buttons for your family
• Choose which alerts require a longer press
• Rename and manage paired devices
• Review alert and reply history
• See device battery information and recent activity

THE STEADY FAMILY

Steady works across three coordinated apps:

• Steady Parent — receive, respond, and customize
• Steady Child — large, simple buttons on iPhone or iPad
• Steady Watch — discreet communication from a standalone Apple Watch

Built by SpicyFamily for families who think differently. Our tools are designed with neurodivergence in mind: gentle, practical, and made for the whole family.

Steady is a communication tool and is not an emergency-response or medical-monitoring service. Internet connectivity and notifications are required for alert delivery.
