The little friend who keeps your boundaries for you.
For everyone with a family member who makes their chest go tight when the phone buzzes.
Open Steady 🌱 Free · No signup · Nothing you write ever leaves your deviceYou know the moment.
Heart pounding. Thumbs hovering. Every reply feels wrong.
That's the moment Steady is for.
Tap what happened
Who it was, and what they did. Guilt trip? Fake apology? "Last attempt"? It's all buttons. No typing needed.
See it clearly
Steady names the trick they're pulling — because the old tricks are old — and tells you if this even deserves a reply.
Answer on your terms
Ready-to-send replies matched to how YOU chose to handle this person. Short, calm, and safe to be screenshotted.
A whole toolbox, disguised as a friend
The little book of old tricks
Twenty family-drama scenarios, decoded and answered — instantly, free, even with the internet off. Because the guilt trip your brother sends is the same one everyone's brother sends.
Sprout holds your angry words
Wrote a furious reply? Don't send it hot. Sprout keeps it safe for a few hours. Words that don't get sent can never be used against you.
Weather reports
Save what happens, and Steady learns their pattern — their favorite plays, and when the next wave is due. When it arrives on schedule, you'll know: it's the weather, not you.
Practice before the family thing
A wedding, a funeral, a holiday? Rehearse their usual moves with your lines ready — plus an exit plan, before you walk in.
Your values, your lanterns
Protect-me-first, faith & grace, peace & letting go, repair when possible — and more. Pick the hearts you walk by. Steady honors them all, on one rule: being hurt is never your fault.
A friend, not a form
Sprout asks how your heart is doing first — and answers extra gently when it's hurting. Breathes with you while it thinks. Celebrates when you do a hard thing.
🔒 Your family's mess is not our data.
Everything lives on your device. No account. No cloud copy of your life. The tap-button answers never touch the internet at all — and there's an "erase everything" button that actually works.
Other apps send every message to their servers. Steady was built so there's nothing to leak.
