Steady is a reminder that behaves like an alarm clock. It rings through Silent and Focus, stays on the screen, and doesn't go away until you answer it: Done, Snooze or Skip. JUST SAY IT Type or talk to Steady the way you'd tell a friend. "Vitamin D every morning at 8." "Change the air filter on the first of every month." Steady sets it up and only asks what it needs. Ask an everyday question and it answers, then offers to set a reminder. REMIND THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT Add friends by name, username, link or QR code and send them a reminder: "remind Mom to take her pills at 9." They choose whether to accept it. Whether they check it off stays private. WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN IT • Medication: a pill, drop or shot at set times • Movement: walks, stretches, sets • Hydration: water through the day • Tasks and habits • Anything else you keep forgetting IT KEEPS ASKING Most reminders fire once. Steady comes back until you answer, and stops the moment you do. A RECORD YOU CAN USE Every check-off and dose change, with dates. Export a PDF to hand to your doctor, or a backup file. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your reminders live on your phone. Turn on backup and they are encrypted on your phone before they leave it. Your chats with Steady are kept with your account so it can follow up, and you can clear them or delete your account anytime in Settings. STEADY PLUS Your first reminder is free. Steady Plus unlocks unlimited reminders, monthly or yearly. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Terms: https://steadyreminders.app/terms Privacy: https://steadyreminders.app/privacy Steady is invite-only for now. Ask a friend who uses it for a code, or join the waitlist in the app. Steady is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about your medication.
