Steady is designed around a few deliberate moments: planning, closing, and occasional review. It should not demand constant checking, reward browsing, or turn educational articles into another feed to complete.
Reminders can be useful when you choose them. They should arrive at predictable times, use limited information, and avoid placing private goal or commitment titles on the lock screen.
Article suggestions should also be restrained. One relevant piece after a meaningful product event can explain the design. A new recommendation after every tap would create noise.
You can turn optional notifications and AI assistance off. Reading is never required to close a day, maintain a score, or unlock the product.
Steady should earn a small place in the rhythm of your day, then get out of the way.
