Questions
Is Steady a good Noom alternative?
If what you want is dose-day reminders with your dose, an estimated level between doses, and protein, fiber and water targets without logging every meal, Steady is built for that. If you want a coached program or a way to get a prescription, not just a tracker.
What does Noom do better than Steady?
Can connect you to clinicians and GLP-1 prescriptions (Noom Med, if eligible). Steady is only a tracker. Structured lessons, muscle-focused workouts and optional 1:1 coaching. Food logging and a community.
What does Steady focus on?
Dose day (a reminder with your dose and where to inject next), your estimated level between doses with a heads-up before the low, daily protein, fiber and water targets, and Home Screen widgets with a platypus that reacts to your shot day.
Does Steady log food like Noom?
No. Noom has a food log; Steady tracks protein, fiber and water against daily targets instead of full meals.
Does Steady sync with Apple Health or Health Connect?
Not at the moment. You log doses, weight and targets in Steady itself.
Can I use Steady and Noom together?
Yes. Some people keep Noom for what it does best and use Steady for dose day and their level. They do not share data.
How do I switch from Noom to Steady?
Take the two-minute quiz, pick your medication and dose, and log your last dose date. Your reminders and level curve start from there.
Do I need a subscription?
