How to install Steady as a PWA
Why we recommend Steady
Steady earns a recommendation for its focused approach to budgeting, specifically catering to individuals with irregular or paycheck-to-paycheck income. It stands out by calculating a 'Safe to Spend' amount between paydays, with bills already reserved. Key capabilities include manual transaction entry, eliminating the need for bank connections, receipt scanning, and features like debt payoff planning and savings goals. The app also supports household sharing and data import/export, making it a comprehensive tool for personal finance management. Its ability to install to the home screen as a PWA further enhances accessibility and user experience.
Best use cases
Best for: individuals who need to manage their finances on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis and prefer manual entry over bank connections. Ideal for users focused on specific financial goals like debt payoff or saving, or for households wanting to share budgeting responsibilities. Also suitable for those who prioritize privacy by not linking bank accounts.
Honest limitations
Steady is not for users who require automatic bank synchronization or prefer a hands-off approach to transaction tracking. As it's in open beta and free, long-term pricing and feature stability are subject to change. The current lack of service worker evidence for offline support means continuous internet access is likely required for full functionality, limiting its use in disconnected environments.
