Our Story

Built by one developer.
For people who mean it.

SteadyFocus is built by David Hildebrand, a solo Android developer based in Cape Town, South Africa. It's not backed by a VC round or a team of 50 — it's built with care by someone who uses it every day.

"I built SteadyFocus because I couldn't find a habit tracker that treated me like an adult. Most apps are either too simple to be useful or too complicated to actually use. I wanted one that was powerful, fast, honest about data, and got out of the way."

Our Values

Why SteadyFocus
is built differently

🔒

Privacy-first

Your habit data lives on your device by default. No account required. No data sold. No ads. We only store cloud data for features that genuinely require it (AI functions), and we're transparent about what that data is.

Performance over polish

The app uses a high-performance local database (Isar) so your Timeline and history load instantly — no spinners, no waiting. Fast apps respect your time. We care obsessively about this.

💰

Honest monetisation

No dark patterns. No artificial limits designed to annoy you into upgrading. The free tier is genuinely useful. Plus is a one-time payment with no recurring charges. Pro is subscription but cancel anytime.

🎯

Focus on what matters

We don't add features for the sake of a feature list. Every screen in SteadyFocus solves a real problem. The AI guardrails exist because we won't give you advice that could harm you, even if it would be more "engaging".

🌍

Built for everyone

Priced in USD with affordability in mind, because the app is built in South Africa and we know not everyone has Silicon Valley purchasing power. The free tier is substantive by design.

🏗️

Long-term thinking

SteadyFocus is the first app in a planned ecosystem (the "Steady" platform). Every architectural decision is made with the next 3–5 years in mind — not the next sprint.

The Roadmap
