## What is Steady?

Steady is built for shift workers, not 9-to-5.

WHAT MAKES STEADY DIFFERENT

Drive home risk alert
When fatigue makes driving home too risky, Steady warns you before you get in the car. Drowsy driving is comparable to drunk driving, 17 hours awake is roughly a 0.05% BAC, 24 hours awake is roughly 0.10%. No other shift-work app ships this warning the way Steady does.

Smart wake alarm
Wakes you in your lightest sleep within a 30-minute window. Beats your iPhone's default alarm for anyone who can't sleep on a 9-to-5 clock.

3-day fatigue forecast
See your hardest days before they hit, then plan around them.

300+ evidence-based coaching tips
Grounded in research from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, NIOSH, and Czeisler and Walker's chronobiology work. Routed to your current state, not rotated randomly.

Bilingual English and Spanish
Written natively in both languages. Not a translation, full native UX in either language.

Private, on-device
No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your sleep data never leaves your phone. Carries Apple's "Data Not Collected" privacy badge.

WHY WE BUILT THIS

Most shift workers don't get to choose their schedules. They do get to choose how they recover. Steady is the app that helps you do that, without selling your data or charging $70 a year.

Steady is not a medical device. Always consult a licensed clinician for medical advice.

### How often is Steady updated?

The latest version of Steady, 1.2.0, was released on June 17, 2026, indicating recent development and support for the application.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-26

Steady 1.7 is our biggest release yet.

• New: Energy Timeline — your predicted alertness hour by hour for the next 24 hours, so you can plan around your dips instead of being ambushed by them
• New: Sleep Debt Ledger — how far behind you are, whether it's growing, and a payback plan built from your actual rota
• New: Daily briefing and weekly review — your numbers turned into a short, plain read, written entirely on your device; nothing is sent anywhere
• New: Shift Recovery Report — a one-page PDF for your doctor, occupational health, or your union
• New: 90-day, 1-year and all-time stats, five themes with matching app icons
• More accurate: days you didn't log no longer count against your sleep debt — scores were overstated before, and will now read lower and truer
• Fixed: widgets now install correctly on iOS 18 and later

These features, along with the planning tools, are part of Steady Pro. Your fatigue score, drive-home alerts, bedtime reminders, Apple Health sync, and logging stay free — and nothing you've recorded has been deleted or locked away.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-08-19

Steady 1.6.1 is a polish release: a batch of fixes for the moments that matter most to shift workers.

• Fixed: a Watch night that grows an already-synced sleep session now updates your fatigue score immediately
• Fixed: on quick turnarounds, the Live Activity showed "shift ended" from yesterday while you were already on today's shift
• Fixed: caffeine logged just after midnight for a pre-midnight time no longer disappears from today's log
• Fixed: a nap suggested before midnight for an early-morning nap no longer vanishes at midnight or duplicates its reminder
• Fixed: the fatigue breakdown no longer says your body clock is helping while showing a circadian penalty
• Fixed: streaks in Stats now count your full history — long streaks are no longer capped, and "Best ever" is truly all time
• Fixed: the calendar, streak badge, and Stats update instantly after you edit a day or a sleep session
• Fixed: re-exporting shifts to Apple Calendar now updates your events in place instead of duplicating them
• Siri now answers your fatigue score in one language, not two

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-11

Steady 1.6 makes the app faster, smarter, and better at getting you to the right place.

• Tap a notification and land exactly where you need to be — drive-home alerts open your risk card, and your numbers refresh instantly
• New: Chronotype quiz — 1 minute to shift your bedtime plans to match your natural clock (early bird, in between, or night owl), plus melatonin timing guidance
• New: Add your shifts to Apple Calendar — one tap exports your next 30 days so family and coworkers can see your schedule; re-run any time, it updates in place
• Notification actions: snooze bedtime reminders, delay drive-home alerts by 20 minutes
• Much faster: Health sync, Stats, and Coaching are dramatically quicker, especially with a year of sleep history
• Smoother animations everywhere, with full Reduce Motion support
• Fixed: schedule edits update your reminders immediately, Watch and widgets no longer show a stale fatigue score, and duplicate light reminders are gone

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-07

Your caffeine day now follows your shift, not the calendar. If you drink a coffee at 11pm on a night shift, it used to disappear from your total the moment the clock rolled past midnight, and it stopped counting toward the sleep warning. Now your tally starts when you wake up and stays with you through the whole shift, so the numbers match how you actually work.

Also in this update:
• Your caffeine total now matches everywhere, on your phone, your Apple Watch, and your Home Screen widget
• Switching between English and Spanish updates the whole app right away, no restart needed
• A dismissed nap suggestion stays dismissed instead of coming back a minute later
• New in Settings: More from the studio, the other apps we build to the same rules, on device, no accounts, no tracking

Built for shift workers, not 9-to-5. Thanks for using Steady!

### 1.5 — 2026-07-11

See your week before it hits. Steady 1.5 adds a 7-day fatigue outlook chart in Stats, so you can spot your toughest days before they arrive and plan naps, caffeine, and recovery around them.
Your score now explains itself. Tap the fatigue breakdown and Steady tells you, in plain language, exactly what is driving today's number and the single best next step to fix it.
Also in this update:
• Notification reliability fixes, alerts and reminders now work correctly from the very first launch
• Sleep data accuracy improvements when combining Apple Health with manually logged sleep
• Quick naps logged from your Apple Watch are never lost, even offline
• You can now disconnect Apple Health from inside Steady
• A back button in setup, smoother calendar, better support for larger text sizes
• Dozens of smaller fixes and polish, in both English and Spanish
Built for shift workers, not 9-to-5. Thanks for using Steady!
