Steadyish

Steadyish is a personal tracker for the ongoing responsibilities that are easy to only deal with once they have become a crisis: a care plan, the house, money, a marriage. You keep a handful of areas. Each has a checklist, things that repeat, habits, counters, notes, and a check-in streak on its own cadence: daily, weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. A cadence is the longest gap you want to leave, not a box to tick once: a weekly area asks again every few days and never lets seven pass. The streak rewards looking at something on an ordinary week. It is not a to-do app that shouts. It is a reason to come back before anything is on fire. HOW THE STREAK WORKS Not having checked in yet this period does not break your streak. You have until the period ends. Checking in twice in one period does not count twice, and it is never turned away: checking in again is always allowed, and the app keeps asking every few days rather than going quiet for the week. Period boundaries follow your own timezone. WHAT AN AREA HOLDS • A checklist, with optional due dates • Recurring tasks, like changing a filter every 90 days, that reset from the day you actually did them • Habits, checked once per period with their own streak • Appointments, once or repeating every few weeks • Counters, for things you want to count rather than finish, each log with its time, a note and tags, so you can see when and why something happens • Freeform notes that autosave • Sub-areas, one level deep, so a care plan can split into its own tracks SHARE AN AREA Some things are carried by two people: a parent’s care, a child’s hard days, a house. Invite someone into an area with a short code and you are equal partners in it. Either of you can check in, tick things off and log a counter, and you keep one streak between you. Your other areas stay yours alone. TODAY, ACROSS EVERY AREA The app opens on the day: anything due, any area that has gone a few days without a look, a habit still open, from every area at once, each with its box right there. Your areas and their streaks sit underneath it. A seven-day view looks further ahead. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND YOUR WRIST A home-screen widget logs a counter with one tap, without opening the app. On Apple Watch, today’s list and your counters are a glance away, and a tap ticks something off. IN YOUR CALENDAR A private calendar link puts due dates and appointments into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. You choose which areas appear on it. REMINDERS THAT FIRE BEFORE A STREAK LAPSES A nudge when an area has gone a few days without a look, another at the start of each period, and a rescue nudge on the last evening of a period you have not checked in on yet. Reminders are local notifications; there is no push server. TIME AWAY Going away? Give Settings the days you will be gone. Streaks hold through them, the nudges go quiet, and coming home is not a list of everything late. Appointments and due dates still remind you. HISTORY Every check-in and completion is kept, so "did I stay on top of this last year" has an answer. YOUR DATA Your account is an email address and password. Your notes and areas are stored in your account and protected by per-user access rules. You can export everything as a file or delete your account, and all of its data, from Settings at any time.
