A simple fasting app for iPhone. Intermittent fasting without the noise.

Fasting is one decision a day.
Most fasting apps turn it into forty.

A streak to protect. Badges to earn. Water, weight and steps to log. A dozen notifications before lunch. None of it helps at the hour you want to eat, and all of it is one more thing to fall behind on. Steady is a timer, one check-in at the hour that matters, and a record that tells the truth. That is the whole app.

Steady's timer at 13 hours 48 minutes into a 16 hour fast, showing the stage called The switch, a check-in button and a quiet I want to eat link

Nothing to keep up with.No badges, no levels, nothing to log but how you feel, and only if you want to.

One check-in, not a dozen pings.Steady asks once, just before the hour that usually decides your fast. Everything else is off by default.

Honest numbers.No inflated stages to chase, and no autophagy badge at 16 hours, because it does not happen at 16 hours.

Quiet by design

Every notification Steady can send fits on one screen.

Most fasting apps ping you into a state: drink water, log your weight, you are about to lose your streak. Steady has four switches. A reminder when your window opens. A note when you cross a stage. A mood nudge that stays off unless you turn it on. And the one that matters: a check-in half an hour before the hour you said usually decides it.

All of it is scheduled on your phone. No server sends them, and no push token is ever created.

Your record

Three numbers and a week of bars. None of them is your weight.

How many in a row, how many you finished, your longest, and the last seven days as bars. That is the scoreboard. There is no fire icon on the streak, no badge for hitting ten, and no notification when the count resets.

Underneath sits the one number worth having: how often you felt better a little later after a low check-in, counted honestly, with the fasts you ended early held against it. It is there to take the pressure off the hard hour, not to add to it.

The check-in

When it does ask, it is two taps. And it will tell you to stop.

Mood, energy, a word for what it is like. That is the only thing Steady ever asks you to record, and you can skip it. Tap anything physical — shaky, dizzy, heart racing — and it tells you to eat, whatever the hour.

An app that will tell you to stop is one you can stop worrying about. Steady is not trying to get you to 20 hours. It is trying to get you through the hour you usually quit, and to say plainly when you should.

Not built for engagement

It wants to be closed.

The first screen says it: other apps want more from you, Steady just stays with you. It is built around one hour of your day, the one where tired, hungry and low arrive together. It works out when that hour hits you, shows up just before, and the rest of the time it is happy to be left alone.

There is a coach for the moment you want to quit. It has read your record, it keeps it short, and it does not message you to keep you in the app.

What a simple fasting app leaves out, on purpose.

Every feature in a fasting app is one more thing you can be behind on. Fasting is already hard at one hour of the day. The app should not make the other twenty-three harder.

What most fasting apps add

What Steady does instead

A streak with a fire icon and a warning when you are about to break it

A count of fasts in a row, shown quietly on the You tab. Nothing happens when it resets.

Badges, levels and achievements

None.

Water, weight, steps, sleep and macros to log

A two-tap check-in on how you feel, when you feel like it. Nothing else to track.

A feed, friends and leaderboards

No account, so there is nothing to compare and nothing to leak.

An autophagy zone at 16 hours

Plain stages, and a note that autophagy needs roughly 24 hours, which Steady does not reach.

Eight to twelve notifications a day

Four switches. One check-in before your hard hour. The rest off by default.

A chatbot that wants to chat

A coach that knows your record and keeps it short.

The fasting stages, honestly. What happens, and what doesn't.

Fuel hands over from sugar to fat as the window runs. That is the whole mechanism — no mystery, no magic. Steady names the stages plainly and never tells you something is happening in your body that it cannot know.

Autophagy and true nutritional ketosis need roughly 24 hours or more. Steady tops out at 20, so it does not reach them — and we would rather say so than give you one more number to chase.

Reserves run low around here, and fat starts doing more of the work.

Hunger tends to come in waves through this stretch.

The stretch most people come to this app for.

Cruising
Past the hard part. For many people hunger settles from here.
20h
Full burn
The far end of what Steady asks of anyone.

No account. No analytics. Nothing to leak.

Everything Steady knows about you lives in a local database on your iPhone. There is no sign-in, no advertising and no feed. Delete the app and it is gone.

No account

Nothing to create, nothing to remember, nothing to leak. Payment is handled by Apple; Steady never sees your card or your name.

A coach with no memory of its own

When you talk to the coach, the context for that one reply is sent to a server that stores nothing — no database, no logs of your words. Your phone keeps the conversation.

Your medication answer never leaves

Steady asks about medications so the coach can be careful. The server only ever receives a yes-or-no risk flag. Which medication stays on your phone.
