A closer look

The four parts of Stead you’ll use every day that the rest of this site doesn’t show you.

Home

Your whole day, on one screen.

Home is the first thing you see when you open Stead. It pulls today's pieces out of every other part of the app, so one look tells you where you stand.

Make It

  • Direct messagesTalk one-on-one with a friend or classmate.
  • Group roomsA room for a class, a team or a project, with admins who decide who joins.
  • Files in the chatShare notes, PDFs and images where the conversation is.
  • Google Meet callsStart a call from any room. Only the people you let in get the link.
  • Lock a callOnce everyone's there, lock it so nobody new can join.
  • Quiet blockingStop someone's messages reaching you, without them being told.
Your canvas & profile

A portfolio you design yourself.

Your canvas is an open page for who you are and what you've made. It's your profile on Stead, it can go out to anyone by link, and it's what you send when you apply for an opening.

  • Write anywhereClick anywhere on the page and start typing, in the typeface you choose.
  • Experience and project cardsLay out your work, with images and dividers between it.
  • Motion and inkMake words move, give them borders, or draw on the page by hand.
  • A page for every audienceOne version for a job, another for a club, each with its own viewers.
  • Share by linkSend it to anyone outside Stead, with an optional passcode or expiry.
  • Apply with itChoose which page a host sees when you apply on Opportunities.

And a few things we’ll let you find.

Not everything needs explaining in advance. Here’s where to look.

  • What your grade would be, if…

    Every course has an answer to that. Try it the week before a midterm.

  • What a task does when it's stuck

    Make It has an idea about that. It's a good one.

  • The first minute of your morning

    Home has something new for you every day. You'll see.
