SteadyStep helps you organize debts, expenses and repayments in one calm, private workspace. Enter your own information, understand your monthly cash flow and follow a clear repayment plan without judgment or pressure. PLAN WITH DETERMINISTIC CALCULATIONS - Record debts, required payments, interest rates and expenses. - Choose whether essential expenses come from a monthly estimate or your itemized records. - Compare interest-first and small-balance-first repayment strategies. - Review estimated payoff timing, interest and monthly milestones. - See a twelve-month repayment schedule based on the information you entered. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED - Record real repayments by date and debt. - Keep payment history separate from projected payments. - Update a balance only when you provide a statement balance. - Follow monthly progress using recorded payments rather than a simple completion switch. OPTIONAL COMPLETE REPORTS Preview personalized takeaways for free, then unlock a complete educational report when you want a deeper explanation of your current plan. Reports combine SteadyStep's deterministic calculations with calm explanatory text, practical actions, risk reminders and assumptions. Complete reports are generated on your device, remain available in your private report history and can be exported as a PDF. A single-report purchase unlocks one complete report. An active monthly or annual subscription provides unlimited on-device report refreshes plus report comparison, scenario adjustments and ongoing progress summaries. Prices shown in the app come directly from the App Store for your storefront. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Free planning does not require a SteadyStep account. Sign in with Apple is used only for purchases, restoring paid access and unlocking complete reports. Your debt names, balances, rates, income, plan and completed reports remain in the app's private device and iCloud storage. Report entitlement confirmation never includes financial values or your financial snapshot. SteadyStep provides planning and educational information only. It is not a lender, debt-relief service, credit-repair service, financial adviser or legal adviser. Estimates depend on the information you enter and may differ from lender statements or actual results.
