Notes made at the time, and it shows
Every entry keeps the date you first wrote it and how often it changed.
A steady record, kept as it happens.
A private, dated record of the things that run over months: your job, your home, parenting arrangements, an agreement. A two-minute note after a meeting or a call, kept with the date you wrote it. Most of the time it's simply a good habit. If you ever need it, it's already in order.
No account or card needed. Your record stays in your browser.
- Free to keep
- Dated as you write
- Originals stay with you
The most useful record is the one you started early.
Notes written on the day are clearer and more complete than notes rebuilt months later. SteadyFile keeps the date you wrote each entry and every later change, so it's clear when each note was made.
Memory is short
Who was in the room, what was agreed, which Tuesday it was. A short note today saves a weekend of piecing it back together.
Useful on ordinary days
A performance review, a raise conversation, a lease renewal, a move-out inspection. A running record helps you speak to the facts.
Ready when someone asks
A manager, HR, a union rep, an advisor or a lawyer will ask for dates first. Yours are already in order.
Built for a two-minute note.
A quick entry on your phone after a meeting. A longer sit-down on the weekend. It all lands in one dated timeline.
Who you told, and what came back
If you raised something with HR, a manager or a union rep, note it on the same entry with the response. No separate spreadsheet.
Point to your records without handing them over
List emails, pay stubs and policies by name. SteadyFile can take a fingerprint of a file on your device so you can check later that it's the same file. The file itself never leaves your device.

Who it's for
I started noting my one-on-ones after a reorg. Nothing came of it, but when review time came I had dates for everything I'd delivered and everything I'd been asked to do.
Office employee, Ontario
I thought I could just do this in Excel, and I probably could have. But having the questions already laid out showed me what I was missing.
Renter, Washington
Not having to upload my actual documents mattered. Some of this is personal, and I wasn't comfortable putting it into another company's system.
