Common questions
How do my calories eaten get into Steady?
Two ways:
- Apple Health (easiest). If your food tracker saves to Apple Health (Cal AI and many others do), turn that on in the tracker's settings. Then in Steady, go to Settings → Apple Health → Connect Apple Health and allow Dietary Energy.
- A Cal AI PDF export. Export a PDF from Cal AI, then tap the import button at the top right of Today and pick the file.
When Apple Health has calories for a day, Steady shows that number in place of an imported one.
I don't see my steps, burned calories or weight.
Steady can only show what Apple Health has and what you've allowed it to read. Check Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Steady and turn on the types you want. Burned calories are active plus resting energy, usually recorded by an iPhone or Apple Watch.
A number looks wrong.
Steady shows Apple Health's totals as they are. If a day looks off, open the Health app, find that type (for example Browse → Nutrition → Dietary Energy → Show All Data) and check which app wrote the entry. Fixing or deleting it there fixes it in Steady.
The coach says it can't run.
The coach runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence, so it needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, on iOS 26 or later, with it turned on in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri. The model may also need time to finish downloading. The Coach tab says which of these applies. Everything else in Steady works without it.
Where's the weekly check-in?
It shows on Today from Friday to Sunday, looking back on the previous Friday to Thursday, once at least 4 of those 7 days have an end-of-day check-in. You can start a chat from the Coach tab any time.
Do I need iCloud?
No. Without iCloud, Steady works normally and keeps your data on the phone, and a banner on Today says it won't sync. Once you sign in, your check-ins and imported days sync to your own private iCloud. Apple Health values, cravings and coach chats never go to iCloud through Steady.
How do I export or delete my data?
- Export: Settings → Export, as CSV or JSON.
- Cravings or coach history: Settings → Cravings → Delete craving history, and Settings → Coach → Delete coach history.
- Sample data: Settings → Sample data → Remove sample days.
- Everything: delete the app, then remove Steady's iCloud data in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
Is Steady connected to Cal AI?
No. Steady isn't affiliated with Cal AI and never connects to it. It reads what Cal AI saves to Apple Health, or a PDF you export yourself.
Will Steady tell me what to eat?
No. Steady and its coach never set calorie targets, weight goals or diets, and nothing in it is medical advice. For questions about your health, talk to a doctor. If food or eating feels hard to manage, the ANAD helpline (US) is 1-888-375-7767, and you can call or text 988 in a crisis.
