Pelvic floor training is a private thing, and a Kegel app with no account keeps it that way: there's nothing to sign up for, no email to give and no password to forget. This guide explains exactly what "no account" means in Steady, what the app keeps, where it keeps it, and the few things that do go to Google Play.
No account, no sign-up, no login
Steady has no account. After a few short first-run steps, your first session is ready to start.
- Steady doesn't ask for your name, email address or phone number.
- There's no password to reset and no email to confirm.
- There's no account to sign in to on another phone, and none to close.
Full details are in Do I need an account?.
Your training stays on this phone
Your training is never uploaded. There is no Steady server. Purchases go through Google Play.
Steady keeps your sessions and settings in its own private storage on your phone. That's where your streak, History and Steady 28 progress are worked out from, each time you open them.
Your training history stays on this phone: it is excluded from Android cloud backup.
That has a cost worth knowing: if this phone is lost, reset or broken, your history can't be recovered. Copying directly from your old phone to your own new phone can bring it along if the old phone runs Android 12 or newer, but Steady can't promise it. See Where is my Steady data kept?.
What Steady stores
The list is short:
- Each session you finish: the day, the session type and how long it is.
- Your settings, such as whether sound and vibration cues are on.
- Your reminders: up to three, each with its time, whether it's on, and its text.
- Your routines, if you make any (Pro).
- Whether Google Play last said you own Steady Pro.
The 3 practice squeezes in How to do it aren't stored at all.
No ads, no analytics of your training
Steady has no ads and no analytics of your training. Nothing interrupts a session to show you something else.
What goes to Google Play
If you buy Steady Pro, Google Play handles the payment, and Steady never sees your card details. Google's billing library, which is part of the app, may send Google technical data about purchases. That's why Android lists network access for Steady. Your training isn't part of it.
Your training and the free sessions work without a connection. Buying, restoring and checking Pro need Google Play.
Discreet on screen, too
Privacy isn't only about servers. A few settings keep the topic off your screen:
- Reminders say "Time for your Steady session" unless you change the text. On a lock screen set to hide sensitive content, Android shows only "Steady".
- Discreet widget (Settings → Privacy) makes the home-screen widget show only "Steady · today's session".
- Hide Steady in recent apps preview shows a blank card in your phone's app switcher, on Android 13 or newer.
- The app's name on your home screen is just "Steady".
More on reminders and the widget is in Daily Kegel reminder.
Deleting everything
Because everything is on your phone, deleting it there deletes it completely. Clear Steady's storage in your phone's settings, or uninstall the app. There's no account to close and nothing on a server to ask us to remove.
Try before you install
If you'd like to see the rhythm first, the free Kegel timer runs in your browser. It stores nothing, sets no cookies and needs no account. Steady 28 shows every day of the 28-day plan, with week 1 free. For the exercise itself, start with Pelvic floor exercises for men.
A note on health
Steady is a personal exercise trainer and diary. How we write about health, and the public sources we use, are on Sources. If you have symptoms or health questions, speak with a doctor or pelvic health physiotherapist.
In the app
Steady times each squeeze, hold and relax with cues you can feel and hear, and keeps the record of your sessions on your phone, with no account.
