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.

About

Protein Dash

Features
Read full description

Protein Dash does one thing. It makes sure you eat enough protein every day. You set a daily target once. We call it your floor. After that the app stays out of your way. There is one big number on the screen: how much protein you've had today. No calories, no meal photos, no searching a food database. Your usual foods sit on quick add tiles. Shake, yogurt, eggs, chicken, whatever you actually eat. One tap and it's logged. You can also log from the Home Screen widget, your Apple Watch, or by asking Siri, without opening the app at all. When you hit your floor, you'll know. The number rolls up, the phone buzzes, and your streak grows. Once a day, and only when you earn it. The app sends at most one reminder a day, and only when you're behind. It tells you exactly what would get you there, like a shake and a yogurt. If you're on pace, it stays quiet. If your appetite is low right now, there's a reduced appetite mode. It sets a smaller minimum for the hard days and suggests small bites instead of full meals. It works with Apple Health. It reads your weight so your target stays accurate, and saves what you log as dietary protein. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no server, no tracking. That's it. One number. Hit it daily.
