Sources and how we write
Who writes this site
Steady is made by an independent developer. Nobody on the team has medical credentials, and we don't claim any. What we know comes from building and using the app: the session timings, the cues and the screens.
What we write about
We describe the exercise and the app. We never describe what it does for your body. You'll find Steady's own facts here, such as "Beginner is 8 rounds, about 1 min 28 s". You won't find results, timeframes or promises.
When a page says anything about health, it is a short summary of a public source named on this page, with a link. Numbers that sound like a target come only from a named source, never from us.
How we check
- Every fact about Steady is checked against the app before a page is published.
- Every source below is opened and read again at least every 90 days. The date shows when we last checked it.
- A source we haven't been able to open is marked "(verify)" until we have.
What Steady does not do
Steady records the sessions you finish. It doesn't measure results, set targets, rate a session or give advice. The timings in Steady are exercise timings; they aren't based on a clinical source.
