What did your body
say today?
A daily check-in for your body during long recoveries. Speak or type — short as a thought, long as you need. We listen, structure your words into a clean page, and surface the patterns your physical therapist actually wants to see.

the amnesia of pain
In a flare, the pain feels endless. You can't remember a morning without it.
On a good day, you forget the bad ones — and that's when you push too hard, and the bad ones come back.
Steady remembers both — the days your body held, and the days it didn't. So in a flare, you don't lose hope. And on a good day, you don't lose your head.
how it works
01
Speak or type.
Tell us about today: what your body tolerated, how it reacted, what's on your mind for tomorrow. One prompt, no forms. As short as a sentence, as long as you need.
02
Steady listens.
Your words get transcribed and structured into capacity, response, and intent. Multiple updates a day merge into one synthesis.
03
Look back. Share.
A month in, patterns surface. A summary for your physical therapist writes itself. The shape of your recovery, in your own voice.

for your physical therapist
Your physical therapist wants a pain diary.
Steady is the one they get.
Every physical therapist asks the same thing: "Keep a diary." Almost no one does — too tedious, too easy to skip, too hard to summarize at the next appointment.
Steady writes the diary for you. Tap once, get a clinical summary of the last 7 / 14 / 30 days. Send it to your physical therapist before your appointment so you both walk in with the same picture.

what steady is not
Not a coach.
We don't tell you what to do. We tell you what you said. Decisions are yours and your physical therapist's, not an algorithm's.
Not gamified.
No streaks. No badges. No shame days. Recovery is not a game and your bad days don't deserve a red X.
Not a clinic.
No diagnosis. No prescriptions. No advice. Your own daily words, structured cleanly so your physical therapist can read them in seconds.
Not generic wellness.
Built for people coming back from real injury — hip arthroscopy, ACL, shoulder. Not for marathon training. Not for hydration habits.
who it's for
Anyone whose recovery is measured in months — not workouts.
Today: post-surgical rehab, sports injury, long-haul healing. Soon: chronic conditions, mental health episodes, anything that cycles.
questions
What if I miss a day?
Nothing. No streaks, no shame. Pick up tomorrow.
Voice or text?
Both. Most people speak — it's faster and more honest. Steady transcribes it for you.
Is this medical advice?
No. Steady is a notebook, not a clinician. We don't diagnose, prescribe, or coach. We mirror your own words back to you.
What about my data?
Your story is yours. Stored in your private account, exportable any time, never sold. Cancel and delete on demand.
Why not Apple Health, Notes, or a journal?
Apple Health doesn't capture what you said. Notes don't structure or surface patterns. Journals don't give you back the shape of your recovery over months. Steady does all three — and shares it with your physical therapist in one tap.
