Steady - fitness app that learns from you

I've been building an iOS app called Steady for the last few months, and it's finally stable enough that I want real people on it instead of just me.

The thing that annoyed me about most fitness apps: they hand everyone the same cookie-cutter plan, make you manually guess your weights every session, and completely ignore that a lot of people are training around something — a bad knee, a recent surgery, being on a GLP-1, coming back after years off, whatever. So I built the app I actually wanted.

What it does:

  • Builds you a real plan from your goals, experience, equipment, and any limitations you have — not the same 5 workouts everyone else gets.
  • Progressive overload that runs itself. The first time you do a lift it calibrates your working weight, then every session after it prescribes your next weight and reps for you — reps first, then load. No more staring at the bar doing math.
  • Nutrition that adapts to your body. Log your weight over time and it nudges your calories and protein toward your goal instead of leaving you on a number you set once and forgot.
  • An AI coach that actually knows your plan. Ask it to make today easier, review a form clip you record, or find a fast-food order that fits your macros — it answers with your real data, not generic tips.
  • Apple Watch support. Log sets from your wrist mid-workout and it syncs straight back to your phone.
  • Connects to Apple Health / Fitbit / Oura so recovery actually factors in.

It's free, it's a beta (TestFlight, iOS only for now), and I'm a solo dev — so it's rough in a few places and that's exactly why I'm here. I want to know: did the onboarding make sense, did the plan feel right for you specifically, did the weight progression feel smart or dumb, and anything that broke or annoyed you.

Brutal honesty >>> being nice. If you hate it, tell me why.

(Disclosure: I'm the developer, not affiliated with anything, not selling anything — genuinely just want testers.)
