Every anxious flyer deserves a calm, steady companion.
Every anxious flyer deserves a calm, steady companion — one that's already loaded and ready before the wheels leave the ground. Steady is the warm pocket co-pilot for fear of flying: a turbulence forecast built from real NOAA data, a caring community that watches over your flight live, and instant calm tools that work fully offline at 30,000 feet.
THE TURBULENCE FORECAST
Type your flight number or route, pick your departure date, and Steady pulls live pilot reports (PIREPs) and SIGMET advisories from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center within 100 nautical miles of your flight path. It blends them with seasonal jet-stream patterns and the typical character of your route — climb, cruise, descent — into a calm, honest preview: an overall smoothness score, a confidence percentage, a segment-by-segment breakdown, and a timeline chart. If a flight number maps to the wrong route, fix it with one tap. No drama. No surprises. Just gentle, prepared knowing.
NEVER FLY ALONE — MONITORBUDDY
Fear of flying shrinks when someone's watching over you. Post your flight to MonitorBuddy and a community of fellow nervous flyers will follow it live on the radar, sending encouragement while you're in the air. Watch over someone else's flight tonight — and land to find kind words waiting for you.
INSTANT CALM, FULLY OFFLINE
Every sound, voice, and screen is pre-loaded on your device. Airplane mode is completely fine. When anxiety spikes mid-flight, one tap on the SOS button launches guided 4-4-4-4 box breathing with a soothing, unhurried voice. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise anchors your racing mind back to the present with soft haptics and glowing constellations.
UNDERSTAND THE FEAR AWAY
Not sure why a heavy metal tube stays in the air? Jello Plane shows you, simply and beautifully, how air itself holds the plane aloft. What's That Sound? explains every cabin noise — engine hum, the seatbelt ding, landing gear locking in. The unknown is what frightens us; knowledge brings calm. And when you need your mind somewhere else entirely, the distraction arcade (Subtract by 7, Color Match) occupies exactly the part of your brain that fuels anxiety spirals.
CELEBRATE EVERY LANDING
After every flight, Steady generates a vintage-style Bravery Boarding Pass — a shareable keepsake celebrating what you just did. Track live flight progress, keep a history of every flight you've conquered, and build bravery streaks that remind you of your own resilience.

I’ve tried to use this app for 5 flights. The flight number look-up doesn’t pull up your flight, but some random bs flight. The $22 subscription to get the benefits is 100% NOT worth it. The main reason why I want it is for the forecast for turbulence. It uses zero credible resources. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Developer Response
Hi! dev here, and I'm sorry Steady let you down. Two honest notes: (1) The turbulence forecast is built from real NOAA Aviation Weather Center data — live pilot reports (PIREPs) and SIGMET advisories along your route — and the app now shows those sources on every forecast. (2) You're right about the flight lookup: the route database occasionally maps a flight number to an outdated route. The latest update lets you instantly correct the route with one tap, and we're working on better sources. If you email herman@nordicsocialmedia.com I'd like to refund your subscription and hear which flights it got wrong so we can fix them. /Herman
scam, don’t use

Developer Response
Dev here — I'm sorry Steady felt that way. Everything in the turbulence forecast comes from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center (live pilot reports and SIGMETs), and the app shows those sources on every forecast. If something looked wrong on your route, email me at herman@nordicsocialmedia.com and I'll check it personally — and if the app didn't help you, I'll refund you, no questions asked. /Herman
Your calm tools now keep perfect count.
• Fixed flight statistics so breathing minutes, sounds learned, and grounding rounds are recorded reliably for every flight
• The Live Activity on your Lock Screen now stays in sync — your progress updates live, even after reopening Steady
• Ending a flight now clears the Lock Screen timer immediately
• The in-flight timer on Home always counts from your real departure time
Thank you for flying with Steady.
