Some days announce themselves. Others just quietly get heavier. Steady is a private mood tracker and panic-support app for living with depression and anxiety — one that pays attention so you don't have to carry it all alone. It notices your patterns over time, and it's one tap away when things spike. No streaks to keep. No guilt for missing a day. And when you've had a good one, Steady asks what helped — not just what went wrong. MEET SOL Sol is the little light inside Steady. Sol checks in gently, notices what helps, and breathes with you when things get loud. FREE, AND STAYING FREE • Mood check-ins — a tap and a tag, in seconds • Panic mode — paced breathing, grounding, and your safety plan, one tap away • Anchors and future-self notes — a photo, a phrase, or words from your steadier days • A skills library and plain-language reads for the hard moments • Crisis resources — 988, Crisis Text Line, and your emergency contact STEADY PLUS — THE PART THAT NOTICES BEFORE YOU DO • Write check-ins in your own words, and Steady reads your mood back to you • Patterns — what lifts you and what weighs on you, over time, in plain language • CBT thought records, for a thought that keeps circling • Plan one small thing, and see which ones actually help BUILT TO NOTICE, NOT TO NAG Steady stays quiet. It surfaces just enough to help you see yourself changing, then gets out of the way. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your entries are encrypted, and your data is never sold — ever. Steady is here for you, not for advertisers. SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS Crisis support is always available and never behind a paywall. Steady's crisis and safety content is written by people, never generated by AI. It can point you toward help — it will never try to handle a crisis itself. IMPORTANT — MEDICAL DISCLAIMER Steady is a self-help support tool for adults (18+), intended to complement — never replace — professional care. It is not therapy, not a medical device, and not a crisis service, and it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health professional with any questions about a medical or mental-health condition, and consult them before making any medical decisions. Never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read or did in Steady. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or contact your local emergency services. STEADY PLUS Steady is free to use. Steady Plus unlocks the pattern-aware tools above — free-text AI check-ins, Patterns, CBT thought records, and the small-steps planner — with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers: • Monthly — $7.99/month after the trial • Yearly — $59.99/year after the trial If you start the free trial, your Apple ID is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. Your subscription renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Crisis help is always available. Terms of Use (EULA): https://steadywellness.app/legal/terms Privacy Policy: https://steadywellness.app/legal/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Steady at 5.0 against Symptom Tracker゜'s 4.6. Steady also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Symptom Tracker゜'s advantage is ratings volume (973 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
