What does my reading mean?

Type the two numbers from your monitor. Steady shows the same color and word for every reading you log.

Your reading isStage 1

The top number is 130 to 139, or the bottom is 80 to 89. Talk to your doctor about it.

Based on the 2017 ACC/AHA blood pressure categories. Information, not a diagnosis: one reading says little on its own, so measure at the same times each day. Nothing you type here leaves this page.

Steady's Log blood pressure screen with 134 over 86 and pulse 72, labeled Stage 1, with a Scan monitor button and a large number pad.
Features

Everything you need. Nothing to figure out.

Large type, big buttons and plain words. Every reading gets a color and a name, so you never have to guess what a number means.

Your blood pressure, in one word

Each reading is Normal, Elevated, Stage 1, Stage 2 or a crisis, with the color to match and the scale underneath. Very high readings come with clear advice on what to do next.

Take a photo of the cuff's screen and the numbers fill in. Three scans included.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Steady?

Steady is a blood pressure log and pill reminder app for iPhone and Android, made for older adults and the people who help them. It keeps your readings and your medicine times in one place, in large, clear type.

What do the blood pressure colors mean?

Steady uses the 2017 ACC/AHA categories. Under 120 over 80 is Normal. A top number of 120 to 129 with a bottom under 80 is Elevated. 130 to 139 or 80 to 89 is Stage 1, 140 or more or 90 or more is Stage 2, and above 180 or 120 is a hypertensive crisis. The higher category of the two numbers counts.

Can Steady read the numbers from my blood pressure monitor?

Yes. Take a photo of your monitor's screen and Steady fills in the top number, bottom number and pulse for you to check before saving. Three scans are included, and Steady Pro removes the limit.

How do the pill reminders work?

Add each medicine with its times and Steady reminds you when a dose is due. You can tap Taken or Snooze right on the notification, see which doses are taken or missed today, and get a reminder before a refill runs out.

Can my family know if I miss a dose?

Yes, if you choose to share. Give a son, daughter or carer a code, and they see today's doses and your latest reading in their own Steady app. They get an alert when a dose is still not marked 90 minutes after its time. You can stop sharing at any time.

Is Steady free?

Yes. Logging readings, pill reminders, family alerts, charts, Apple Health or Health Connect, the widget, backups and a CSV export are included. Steady Pro, a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription, adds the doctor report, more people on one phone, and scanning without a limit.

Do I need an account?

No. Steady works without an account and keeps your readings and medicines on your phone. An anonymous sign-in is created only if you turn on family sharing.

Who can see my health data?

Only you, unless you share it. Your log stays on your phone. Family see only what you choose to share, and a photo you scan is sent to Google's Gemini AI to read the numbers and is not stored by Steady.

Does Steady measure blood pressure?

No. Steady is a log and reminder app, not a medical device. Use a validated cuff to measure, and talk to your doctor about your numbers and before changing any medicine.

When can I get Steady?

Steady is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. It will need iOS 15 or later, or Android 8 or later.

Know your numbers. Take your pills. Stay steady.
