One app. Three people. Steady.

Emotional support and social coaching, shared across the people who matter.

Steady helps autistic people stay calm and navigate social moments — and connects them with the caregivers and therapists who support them. Each role makes the others more valuable.

For therapists & partners

Built for emotional safety first — calm, clear, and never overwhelming.

The three-user flywheel

Steady is built around three connected roles. Support flows in a loop, and every role makes the next one stronger.

Individual

The autistic user

Gets in-the-moment emotional support and social coaching, and shares progress with their circle.

Caregiver

Parent or caregiver

Sees mood, history, and AI summaries — and reinforces healthy patterns at home.

Therapist

Therapist or practitioner

Reviews trends and session summaries read-only, then guides the user with real context.

Each role makes the others more valuable. The therapist layer is the moat — and it's why Steady gets stronger with every connection.

Two AI modes, one calm experience

Steady separates fast in-the-moment help from deeper reflection, so support never feels overwhelming.

STEADY mode

Emotional support

Grounding, reassurance, and calm replies for the moment you're in. Steady helps you regulate before you respond.

Design philosophy

Steady is calm, minimal, and non-overwhelming. Soft colors, clear structure, and emotional safety as a first principle — for every role.

What Steady actually ships

Dual-Mode AI

STEADY for emotional support and COACH for social skills — clearly separated so help never overwhelms.

Mode switch

STEADY now for calm, COACH later for reflection.

Mood Trends

Mood tracking visualized over time so users and their circle can see progress.

Trend graph

"Calmer mornings this week — keep it up."

Weekly Adaptive Plan

A profile-driven plan that adjusts to how the week actually goes.

This week

"One social goal, one calm-down practice."

Noise Monitoring

A background service that watches sound levels and alerts before overwhelm hits.

Noise alert

Threshold customizable from 75 to 115 dB.

Invite System

Connect your circle with clear limits: up to 3 caregivers and 1 therapist per user.

Invites

Email-based, accepted on the user's terms.

Offline Sync & Retry

Messages queue locally and sync with backoff retry, so support works even on a weak connection.

Resilient

Local-first, synced to Firestore when back online.

Privacy and data security

Auth

Firebase-backed accounts

Firebase Auth and Cloud Firestore handle sign-in and storage, encrypted in transit.

Roles

Role-based access

Therapists are read-only with no direct messaging. Each role sees only what it should.

Limits

User-controlled connections

Invite limits (3 caregivers, 1 therapist) and connect/disconnect keep the user in control.

Why Steady compounds

Most support apps serve one person. Steady connects three — and each connection makes the product more valuable and harder to leave. The therapist layer turns everyday support into a defensible network, with a clear path to becoming a trusted daily companion for social confidence at scale.
