steady helps you build and maintain streaks for any habit or substance you're quitting — alcohol, cigarettes, doomscrolling, or anything else. HOW IT WORKS • Name what you're stepping away from and when it started • Track daily with pledges and evening reflections • Ride out urges with a breathing timer — you choose the length for each quit • Keep a lifeline: someone worth calling, one tap away in the hard minute • Watch your "all-time" counter of urges ridden — every ride counts • See your clean days glow on an ember grid IMPLEMENTATION INTENTIONS Plan your response before the hard moment comes. "If I feel the pull after work, then I'll ride it out" makes the choice automatic. Research shows if-then plans double success rates. URGE SURFING Urges crest and pass, like waves. This breathing timer teaches you to ride them out — with your own if-then plan and your lifeline right on screen. You don't need to resist forever — just a few minutes until the wave passes. SAVINGS CARD See how much time and money you've reclaimed. Attach real numbers to your progress. MILESTONE STONES Mark the moments that matter: one week steady, one month, 90 days. Private reflections only you will see. PRO — $9.99/year or $24.99 lifetime • Hold multiple quits at once and swipe between them (free tier: one quit) • Full feature access: pledges, urge timer, savings, milestones, all reflected PRIVACY FIRST Every bit of data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no analytics. Local-first, forever. Made with care by Tasty Jam App Development.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Fast at 3 against Steady's 1. Fast also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.5). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
