Tracking & stats

Everything else Steady tracks beyond food and workouts — and the charts, patterns, and reviews it builds out of all of it.

Daily tracking

Water — logged in whatever bottle or glass size you set during onboarding, so it’s one tap rather than typing ounces. On training days the goal rises to cover the session’s fluid needs.

Weight — one number a day, ideally at the same time each morning. Steady charts a smoothed trend rather than reacting to any single reading; see Your calorie budget for why that matters. Weigh-ins from a smart scale, Apple Watch, or Garmin flow in automatically through Apple Health.

Alcohol — logged in standard drinks, counted at roughly 98 calories each. Tracking it honestly matters more than most things here, because alcohol is both easy to forget and unusually good at stalling weight loss.

Supplements — set up a daily or weekly list with reminders, and check them off from the day view.

Body measurements — waist, hips, chest, arm, and thigh. These are worth more than the scale during a recomposition, when your weight barely moves but your shape is changing.

Fasting window

Opt in from Settings and Steady tracks your eating window with no extra logging at all. Your last food of the day starts the clock; the first food of the next day ends it. You get a dashboard card with the live timer and a history of your eating windows.

Because it’s derived from food you were already logging, there’s nothing to remember to start or stop.

Blood work

An opt-in section for logging LDL, HDL, triglycerides, fasting glucose, and A1C. Each charts over time so you can see whether the direction is right between doctor visits.

With it enabled, two things change:

Only the bare numbers ever inform a request; nothing identifying goes with them.

This is not medical advice. It’s framed as preparation for a conversation with your doctor, and it should stay that way. Steady is a tracking app, not a clinician.

Stats

Every tracked series charts across Today · 7 days · 30 days · 90 days · Year to date · All time · custom range.

Body — weight with trend and goal, water, workout minutes broken out by type, steps and sleep from Health, and body measurements.

Food — calories against budget, protein, calorie-density mix, fiber against 28 g, sodium against 2,300 mg, alcohol, and your eating window.

The 90-day view is usually the most honest one. Weekly charts flatter a good week and panic you after a bad one; three months shows what’s actually happening.

Patterns

Steady mines your last 90 days for correlations — entirely on your device, with nothing sent anywhere:

These are correlations from your own data, not universal claims. The value is that they’re about you — “your weight is up an average of 1.4 lb the morning after you drink” lands differently than a general article about alcohol.

Coaching

What Should I Eat? reads what’s left of today’s calories and your remaining protein gap, then suggests three realistic options that fit — skipping things you’ve already eaten today. Each one logs in a single tap.

Summarize My Day reviews what you ate and suggests concrete swaps rather than generic advice.

Week in Review does the same across the week and looks for repeating patterns.

Month in Review builds a Wrapped-style poster for any month — shareable as an image if you want to, private if you don’t.
