Frequently asked

Your questions about Steady and GLP-1s, answered.

What Steady does, how it works with your medication and your cycle, what it costs, and how your data is kept. If your question is not here, email ceo@steadyglp1.app.

Getting started

What is Steady?

Steady is an iOS app built for women on GLP-1 medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and similar. It tracks your dose, protein, symptoms, water, weight, and cycle, and gives you an AI coach that answers questions grounded in what you have actually logged. It is not a diet app, not a medical device, and not a replacement for your prescriber.

Is Steady available now?

Yes. Steady is live on the Apple App Store and you can download it today on iPhone. It is iPhone only for now. It is free to start, so you can set up your dose, protein, and symptom tracking without paying anything.

Who is Steady for?

Women on GLP-1 therapy who want a daily companion that treats their body as it actually works: protein-first, cycle-aware, symptom-literate. If you have been prescribed a GLP-1 by a licensed clinician and you are at least 18, Steady is built for you. See why we built Steady for women.

How is Steady different from other GLP-1 trackers?

Most trackers are calorie-counting apps with a GLP-1 label bolted on. Steady starts from the female body: it puts protein and lean-mass protection first, reads your symptoms against your menstrual cycle, and its coach answers only from what you have logged rather than generic advice. It never uses diet-culture language, and it does not ask you to "earn" your food. See how it works.

Is Steady a diet app?

No. Steady does not sell meal plans, set punishing calorie targets, or frame food as reward and punishment. On a GLP-1 the harder problem is usually eating enough of the right things, not eating less, so Steady is built to help you hit protein, water, and fibre while your appetite is low, and to protect the muscle you would otherwise lose. Read more on protecting muscle on a GLP-1.

Medication and safety

Does Steady work with Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound?

Yes. Steady supports the full range of prescribed GLP-1 and dual-agonist medications, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, Trulicity, and Rybelsus. Each medication comes with its standard titration ladder built in, so the app knows your typical dose steps and injection schedule. If you are weighing options, our Mounjaro vs Wegovy guide explains how prescribers think about the choice.

Does Steady tell me what dose to take?

No. Absolutely not. Your dose is decided by your prescribing doctor, based on your labs, your history, your other medications, and the titration schedule on the label. Steady helps you remember when your next dose is due, log the one you took, rotate injection sites, and note how you felt after. It does not prescribe, recommend dose changes, or suggest skipping doses, and the coach will tell you to call your prescriber any time the question is medical.

Does Steady replace my doctor?

No, and it never will. Steady is a tracking and education tool, not a clinic. It cannot diagnose, prescribe, or change your treatment, and it is not a substitute for the person who wrote your prescription. What it can do is give you a clear record of your doses, symptoms, and weight to bring to your next appointment, so your time with your clinician is better spent. See preparing for a GLP-1 doctor visit.

Is the AI coach giving me medical advice?

No. The coach is educational, not clinical. It can explain what research says about protein and lean mass, what the labelled side effects are, and what your own logs show over the last thirty days. It cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe. For anything involving your medication or a symptom that worries you, call your prescriber, and the coach will say so itself. Read the medical disclaimer.

Can Steady tell me if a symptom is normal?

Steady can give you context, not a diagnosis. The coach can explain what the research and the drug label say about common effects like nausea, constipation, and fatigue, and it can show you how your own symptom pattern has shifted over time. It will always steer you to your prescriber for anything that needs a clinical judgement, and it flags red-flag symptoms rather than trying to reassure you past them.

What if I have a serious side effect?

Severe abdominal pain, non-stop vomiting, an allergic reaction, signs of pancreatitis, suicidal thoughts, or vision changes are emergencies, not app questions. Call your prescriber or your local emergency number (911 in the US, 999 in the UK, 112 in the EU) immediately. Steady is designed to point you toward care fast, never to keep you inside the app when something is wrong.

Using Steady

How do I track my dose and symptoms?

You log your dose with a tap on the day you take it, mark it taken or skipped, and rotate through six injection sites so you can avoid overusing one spot. Symptoms are logged from a fourteen-symptom check-in, each with a mild, moderate, or severe level, so you build a real picture over weeks rather than relying on memory. Everything rolls up into a home screen that shows your day at a glance.

Does Steady help me keep muscle on a GLP-1?

Yes, this is one of the reasons Steady exists. Up to a third of the weight lost on a GLP-1 can come from muscle if protein and resistance work are neglected, so Steady sets an elevated protein target (a default of around 120 grams) and makes it easy to hit when your appetite is low. It also nudges the two-short-sessions-a-week resistance habit that the evidence supports. Read the muscle rule that changes everything and why 120 grams of protein matters.

Can Steady help with food noise and appetite changes?

Steady is built around the way a GLP-1 changes your relationship with food, including the quiet that many women describe when the constant background chatter about eating switches off. Rather than pushing you to eat less, it helps you use a smaller appetite well: hitting protein, water, and fibre first so you feel steady rather than depleted. Read more on food noise and what GLP-1s switch off.

Privacy and data

Is my data private?

Yes. Steady does not sell your data, does not share it with advertisers, and does not use it to train AI models. Your logs are stored in an encrypted database tied to the email you signed up with. When you message the coach, the message and the relevant context (not your email) are sent to our AI provider only to generate that answer. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

What data does Steady store, and where?

Steady stores your logs (dose, protein, water, weight, symptoms, cycle, and coach history) in an encrypted database, tied to your account email. It is never sold or shared with advertisers. The only data that leaves the app is the context needed to answer a coach message, and that is used to generate your reply, not to profile you. See the Privacy Policy for specifics.

Can I delete my data?

Yes, completely. Email ceo@steadyglp1.app from the address on your account and we will delete everything: removed from active systems within 30 days and from encrypted backups within 90 days. You can also request a JSON or CSV export of everything we hold before it is deleted. A full in-app delete and export control is on our roadmap.

Cycle and women's health

Does Steady track my cycle with my GLP-1?

Yes, and this is a core part of what makes Steady different. When you tell it the date of your last period and your typical cycle length, it estimates the phase you are in on any given day, then reads your symptoms against that phase. Luteal-phase nausea, bloating, and appetite swings are well documented, and layering a GLP-1 on top can make month three feel like four different medications. Steady names that pattern instead of leaving it random. Read your cycle and your GLP-1.

How does cycle-aware coaching work?

Steady uses your cycle phase (follicular, luteal, or menstrual) as context for the coach and for a daily insight on your home screen. It helps you tell apart a "bad GLP-1 week" from a predictable hormonal shift, and sets expectations before a rough patch arrives rather than after. The prediction is a best estimate, and you can correct it any time. Explore our cycle and GLP-1 guides.

Do I have to track my cycle to use Steady?

No. Cycle tracking is optional. If you are perimenopausal, postmenopausal, on hormonal birth control that suppresses cycles, or you simply do not want to track it, the rest of the app (dose, protein, water, weight, symptoms, and coach) works without it. If you are navigating perimenopause on a GLP-1, Steady still adapts around you.

Cost and subscription

How much does Steady cost?

Steady is free to start, so you can set it up and use core tracking without a card. The subscription unlocks the full app and is managed through Apple, with the price shown in the App Store in your own currency before you ever pay anything. We keep the number off this website on purpose, because the App Store is the only place it should live.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Steady offers a free trial with no charge, and you can cancel any time from the App Store. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is typically limited to one trial per Apple ID. There is also a free tier that does not need a card at all.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Because Steady is billed through Apple, you cancel from Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad. Access continues until the end of the period you already paid for, and nothing is charged again after you cancel.

Is Steady covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

Steady is a wellness app, not a covered medical benefit, so it is not reimbursed by health insurance. In the US, HSA and FSA eligibility varies by plan, so check with your administrator. We cannot give tax advice.

What happens to my subscription if Steady shuts down?

If we ever decide to stop operating Steady, we will give at least 60 days' notice by email, stop all new charges immediately, offer a pro-rated refund through Apple where possible, and let you export everything you have logged. We would rather over-communicate than disappear.
