Your routines lets you save sessions with your own timings: how long to squeeze, hold and relax, and how many rounds. You can save up to 10, then start one like any other session. Routines are part of Steady Pro. Your routines are saved on this phone only.
Open Your routines
On the home screen, scroll to Other sessions and tap Your routines, the last row. It says Your own timings until you save one, then how many you've saved, for example 3 saved.
Make a routine
- In Your routines, tap New routine.
- Type a Name, up to 24 characters.
- Set Squeeze, Hold and Relax in seconds, and the number of Rounds. Tap − or +, or type a number. Each field shows what it takes:
- Squeeze: 1 to 10 seconds
- Hold: 0 to 15 seconds (0 = no hold)
- Relax: 1 to 20 seconds
- Rounds: 1 to 30 rounds
- Check Total length at the bottom, for example "Total length: about 1 min 28 s".
- Tap Save. The new routine appears at the top of the list.
A new routine "Starts from the Beginner timings": Squeeze 3 s, Hold 3 s, Relax 5 s and 8 rounds. Change any of them before you save. They're only a place to begin.
If a number is outside its range, the field says what it takes, for example "Use 1 to 10 seconds", and Total length waits until every value is in range. Steady doesn't comment on the timings you choose. Any values within the ranges are fine to save.
With a hold of 0, the routine goes straight from Squeeze to Relax.
Start a routine
Tap Start on a routine's card. The usual session screen opens, with the routine's name at the top. The cues, pocket mode and voice cues work as they do for any session. When the session ends, you're back in Your routines.
The list keeps the routine you used last at the top.
A finished routine session counts like any other: in your streak, Sessions, all time, Minutes, all time and the calendar in History. It doesn't count as a Steady 28 day. See How does my streak work?
Edit or delete a routine
- Edit: tap Edit on the card, change the name or the numbers, and tap Save. Tap Cancel to leave without changes.
- Delete: tap Delete on the card. Steady asks "Delete" and the routine's name: "The routine is removed from this list. Sessions you already did stay in History." Tap Delete to confirm or Cancel to keep it.
You can save up to 10 routines. When you have 10, the list says "10 routines saved, the most this app keeps. Delete one to add another."
Routines and Steady Pro
Making and starting routines needs Steady Pro. Before your first finished session, tapping New routine or Start shows "Try a session first". After it, it opens the Steady Pro screen. See How to subscribe, cancel or restore Steady Pro.
You can open Your routines without Pro. If your Pro ends, nothing is deleted: the list says "Routines are part of Pro. Saved routines stay on this phone." with See Pro, and each saved routine shows a lock. When Pro is back, they work again as before.
Where routines are kept
Your routines, with their names, are stored only on this phone, like your training history. They're never uploaded, they don't appear in the widget or in notifications, and they're excluded from Android cloud backup. Clearing Steady's storage or uninstalling deletes them.

Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I tap Save
One of the fields is outside its range, or the name is empty. The field that needs a change says what it takes, for example "Use 1 to 30 rounds" or "Use 1 to 24 characters".
I deleted a routine. Are its sessions gone?
No. Deleting a routine removes it from the list only. The sessions you did with it stay in your streak, your totals and the calendar.
Can I share a routine or move it to another phone?
Not in version 0.1.0. Routines can't be shared or imported. Restoring Steady Pro on a new phone brings back Pro, not your routines: they're stored on the old phone, like your history. See Where is my Steady data kept?
