About this app

EarSteady turns your phone into a real-time guide for the Epley maneuver — the at-home head-movement exercise widely used for BPPV vertigo. Instead of guessing along with a video, EarSteady reads your phone's motion sensors and coaches each position live: green when your head is aligned, red when you need to adjust, and a timer for every hold.

WHY EARSTEADY IS DIFFERENT
Most vertigo apps just play a video and leave you to copy it. EarSteady watches your head position with your phone's sensors and walks you through it step by step — guided positioning feedback, in your pocket.

• Real-time head-position coaching — green = hold, red = adjust
• A short intake to help identify which ear to focus on
• Hands-free voice prompts for every step
• Timed holds so you never cut a position short
• Track your sessions and your steady days

WHO IT'S FOR
People already familiar with BPPV — the positional vertigo that can make the room spin when you lie down, roll over in bed, or tip your head back — who want to practice the Epley maneuver correctly at home. It's the kind of guided follow-along so many people look for on Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Guided Epley maneuver with live sensor feedback
• "Which ear?" intake to personalize the sequence
• Follow-along voice guidance and step timers
• Plain-language education on BPPV and "ear crystals" (canalith repositioning)
• A built-in safety check with red-flag questions and clear "see a clinician" guidance
• Runs on-device — no sign-in needed to start a session

A NOTE ON SAFETY
EarSteady is an educational wellness app that guides at-home vestibular exercises. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition and is not a medical device. These exercises aren't right for everyone — if you have neck or back problems, or symptoms such as severe headache, double vision, numbness, weakness, fainting, or trouble speaking, stop and see a qualified clinician. Always consult a professional about your symptoms; EarSteady is not a substitute for professional care.

What’s new

What's new in this release:

• A polished new app icon.
• Camera head-tracking for the upright steps, with a smooth hand-off to the phone-on-cheek motion sensor when you lie down.
• Clearer, step-by-step guidance on exactly how to hold your phone.
• The screen now stays awake while you're following a maneuver.
