The Programme

A price designed to fall. A programme designed to end.

steps.org is a 90-day programme, not a subscription — 3 monthly cycles, then it ends. Each day resolves exactly one of two ways: weigh in before your morning hour and the month's level drops a dollar; otherwise you get one reminder text and it rises one. There is no third outcome. Here's every number.

The number

$5/ month if you show up

Each cycle starts at the $5 floor and moves a dollar a day: down when you weigh in before your hour (never below $5), up when you don't (one reminder text, never above $30). When the cycle closes you're charged that level, and the next cycle resets to the floor.

3 cycles, then it's over. Never miss and you pay the floor every month — the bottom of $15–$90 over 3 months. Miss often and a month can climb to $30, never past it. Every dollar above the floor maps to one reminder text you could have avoided by weighing in before your hour.

How a day works

One hour. Two outcomes.

Every day of the programme resolves the same way, at the same moment. Here's the loop, morning to money.

  1. 01

    Pick your morning hour

    Choose an hour between 05:00–11:00, in your timezone. Your day resolves at that hour — every day, for 90 days.

  2. 02

    Weigh in before it: a dollar down

    Open the app, stand on the scale, snap the live photo. A vision model verifies it in the moment, then discards it — and the month's level drops a dollar, never below the $5 floor.

  3. 03

    At or after it: one text, a dollar up

    If your hour arrives without a verified weigh-in — running late counts the same as skipping — you get one reminder text and the level rises a dollar, never above $30. On the dot counts as after — before means before, and a later weigh-in that day won't undo it. The dollar is the cost of the nudge; weighing in before your hour is how you never pay it.

  4. 04

    There is no in-between

    Every day lands on one side of your hour or the other. No grace window, no 'on time' loophole, no judgement call to bargain with. A rule this simple can't be renegotiated at 6:55 — which is exactly why it works when motivation doesn't.

  5. 05

    Month closes: charged, reset to the floor

    At each cycle's close you're charged that month's level — wherever the daily dollars left it — and the next cycle starts back at $5. After 3 cycles the programme ends. Nothing renews.

Accountability partner

Someone in your corner — included

Name anyone as your accountability partner — it's part of the programme, at no extra charge. They confirm by text, they never see your weight — not ever — and they don't need an account or the app. Once added, a partner can be swapped for someone else (they're told) but never removed. That's deliberate: the commitment shouldn't have a quiet side exit.

Each week they get a short progress report — whether you showed up, never what the scale said. Beyond that, the only alert about how you're doing is the one that fires if you quit. Your weight stays yours; the commitment doesn't.

If you stop

Cancelling is a failed attempt — a refund is a clean exit

Cancelling is not neutral, and we won't pretend it is. Cancel and the attempt is marked failed: your partner gets the quit text, you're charged for the days you used, and that attempt can never be resumed. Starting again means a fresh 90 days from the floor.

The clean exit is the guarantee, and it's a person, not a button: email [email protected] within your first 30 days and we'll refund every dollar — no failure recorded, and your partner is never told.

No risk to try

30-day money-back guarantee

Day one is the hardest of the 90 — so it's the one we take the risk on. If steps.org isn't for you, email [email protected] within 30 days and we refund everything — handled personally, no questions. No fee, no failure on your record, no text to your partner. If you're still in after day 30, you're in because you chose to be — and the only thing you'll have spent is a few mornings on the scale, which was rather the idea.
