for people in long recovery
Long recovery plays tricks on your memory.
Start with the free recovery calculator — see where you stand on the typical curve for your surgery. Then, if you want it, a 30-second daily check-in keeps the record, so a flare can't erase the months of progress behind it.

the amnesia of pain
In a flare, you forget you were ever well. On a good day, you forget the bad ones — and push too hard.
Steady remembers both. So in a flare you don't lose hope, and on a good day you don't lose your head.
premium · findings
It shows you what you can't feel mid-flare.
Once you're checking in daily, Steady lays out the measurable shape — how long flares last, the gap between them — so a bad week reads as a week, not the whole story. When you're hurting, it's hard to believe you were ever well.
findings
last 47 days
Each of your last 4 flares has been shorter than the one before.
premium · daily page
Thirty seconds a day, kept in your own words.
Premium adds the daily check-in. Speak or type once — Steady files it into capacity, response, and intent, so any single day still reads clearly months later, exactly as you said it.

what it isn't
Not a coach. Not a diagnosis. Not one more thing to keep a streak on.
Steady is a notebook, not a clinician. It reflects your own words back to you — it doesn't prescribe, score, or nag.
