Getting started
What is cycle tracking?
Log bleeding days and the changes that matter to you. Steadied turns the pattern over time into clearer insight.
Getting started
Your first log
A period status and flow level are enough for a first useful log.
Getting started
Phase basics
The phase label is an estimate from your logged periods, not a hormone test.
Getting started
Reading the calendar
Background colours show estimated cycle phases. Markers show what was logged, what is expected, and which date is today.
Getting started
Condition profiles
You can select more than one condition. Steadied uses that to tune symptoms, insights, and report context.
Getting started
Demo mode
Demo mode lets you explore realistic data without touching your own logs.
Logging
Logging your period
Turn on period status, choose the closest flow level, and save.
Logging
Flow levels
Use the level that best matches your day, not a clinical scale.
Logging
Symptoms and severity
Add the symptoms that matter today and rate each one from 1 to 10.
Logging
Mood check-in
Great, Okay, Rough, and Struggling use sun-to-rain symbols so all four choices follow one visual idea.
Logging
Suggested symptom packs
Suggested packs create editable custom symptoms for evidence that the standard list may miss.
Logging
Custom symptoms and labels
You can add custom symptoms freely. Steadied+ also lets you rename built-in symptoms without breaking patterns.
Logging
Pain map
Pain pins help show where pain happens, how strong it is, and whether it clusters around bleeding or phases.
Logging
Birth control logging
Daily method check-ins stay distinct from period and symptom logs.
Logging
Context logging
Context helps later analysis understand what else was happening around symptoms.
Logging
Treatments and check-ins
Log starts, changes, adherence, side effects, and notes so reports can show timing around symptoms.
Logging
Quick log, Watch, and widgets
Today and Apple Watch support quick logging. Widgets and complications keep cycle context glanceable.
Logging
Editing past entries
Tap any date in Calendar to correct or add detail.
Phases & patterns
How phase is calculated
Steadied detects period starts and uses recent completed cycles to estimate cycle length. It then groups cycle days into broad phases for planning and pattern comparisons.
Phases & patterns
Why patterns can shift
Each new period feeds back into the next estimate.
Phases & patterns
Irregular cycles
When cycle length varies, Steadied uses windows instead of pretending one date is certain.
Phases & patterns
Paused or suppressed cycles
Steadied can focus on symptoms and logged bleeds when cycle prediction would be misleading.
Phases & patterns
Length trends
Steadied tracks whether cycles are lengthening, shortening, or staying steady.
Phases & patterns
Before-period changes
Steadied looks for symptoms that reliably rise before bleeding and ease after it starts.
Insights
Insights hub overview
Insights turn logs into views you can scan, compare, or bring to an appointment.
Insights
Phase patterns
Averages make it easier to see which part of the cycle tends to land hardest.
Insights
Cycle rhythm
Regularity, length trend, variability, and year view sit together.
Insights
Symptom patterns and heatmaps
Use phase view for cycle timing and date heatmap for rough stretches over time.
Insights
Pain locations
Pain-location views summarise body-map pins by region, severity, and timing.
Insights
Body signals
Sleep, resting heart rate, HRV, and wrist temperature can be averaged by cycle phase when Health access is enabled.
Insights
Flare triggers
Steadied can show context that often appears before flares without calling it cause.
Insights
Treatment response
Treatment views summarise starts, changes, adherence, side effects, and symptom timing around them.
Insights
Doctor report
Doctor reports turn logs into a PDF designed to scan quickly in an appointment.
Insights
Appointment prep
Appointment prep turns report readiness, evidence gaps, and discussion prompts into a practical checklist.
Insights
Scheduled reports
Steadied+ can generate doctor reports on a daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedule.
Sharing & privacy
Health access (read-only)
Steadied can read selected Apple Health data, but it never writes period data back.
Sharing & privacy
Where your data lives
Your data lives on this device and, if enabled, in your private iCloud database.
Sharing & privacy
App lock
App Lock uses Face ID, Touch ID, passcode, or an app PIN when enabled.
Sharing & privacy
Decoy PIN
A decoy PIN opens a blank state while your real data stays locked.
Sharing & privacy
Local reminders
Cycle, routine, birth-control, treatment, and appointment reminders run locally.
Sharing & privacy
Connected apps
Cycle-summary sharing is off by default and stays on this iPhone.
Data
iCloud sync
Turn on iCloud sync to keep Steadied data in your personal iCloud, without creating a Steadied account.
Data

Backup creates a .steadiedbackup file; Restore previews before applying.
Data
CSV export
Steadied+ exports a date-range CSV for Numbers, Excel, Google Sheets, or your own tools.
Data
Copy from Tended
Steadied reads Tended's shared summary on this device and creates its own records for up to one year of period days and matching symptoms.
Data
Steadied+ and Family Sharing
Steadied+ unlocks deeper analysis and export/report features without a subscription.
Data
Delete all data
Delete all data attempts to clear covered Steadied data from this device, iCloud, and Steadied's connected-app summary.
Conditions
PMOS / PCOS
PMOS / PCOS support focuses on cycle-length spread, long-cycle context, and condition-linked symptom patterns.
Conditions
Endometriosis
Endometriosis support focuses on pain clusters, body-map pins, bowel/bladder/sex-related pain context, and phase timing.
Conditions
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis support overlaps with endometriosis but keeps heavy bleeding, deep pelvic pressure, and bowel/bladder context visible.
Conditions
PMDD
PMDD support focuses on pre-period mood and physical symptoms that improve after bleeding starts.
Conditions
PMS
PMS support uses similar timing logic to PMDD but with less severe framing.
Conditions
Perimenopause
Perimenopause support focuses on irregularity, length trend, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, joint pain, and body-signal context.
Conditions
Surgical menopause
Surgical menopause support de-emphasises ordinary cycle prediction and focuses on symptoms after ovary-removing surgery.
Conditions
Postpartum
Postpartum support tracks birth or pregnancy-end date, lactation context, lochia, healing, pelvic floor, feeding pain, and returning cycles.
Conditions
Hypothalamic amenorrhoea
HA support tracks no-bleed gaps, days since last bleed, recovery context, and body-state symptoms.
Conditions
Menstrual migraine
Menstrual migraine support separates attacks in the day -2 to +3 menstrual window from attacks outside it.
Conditions
Inclusive language preferences
Steadied uses you-focused language with no assumption that the user is a woman or wants pregnancy.
