When it all kicks off at work — be ready.
Most workers facing a disciplinary, absence review, or grievance are completely on their own. No rep available. No record of what was said. No idea what their rights are. Stewrd is a confidential AI companion — a knowledgeable Shop Steward in your pocket — that documents your case as it unfolds, explains your rights in plain English, and builds you something solid to stand on before it's too late.
Why Stewrd exists
Stewrd came from real workplace cases — disciplinaries, absence reviews, grievances, redundancy meetings, pay disputes, and the conversations that happen before anything becomes formal.
Again and again, the same problem appeared: workers often had a fair point, but no clear record or structure to it. They couldn't remember exactly what was said. They didn't have the letter to hand. Key dates were missing. The order of events had become blurred.
That matters, because in workplace disputes, evidence is leverage. A clear timeline, the right documents, and a calm account of what happened can change the whole conversation.
Stewrd was built from that gap. The name is a deliberate nod to Shop Steward — the workplace rep role that inspired it. It is not a replacement for a union rep, solicitor, or proper advice. It is the tool that helps you get things down properly before the detail is lost.
What Stewrd does
Stewrd covers the situations workers actually face — disciplinaries, absence reviews, grievances, bullying, pay disputes, parental leave, and more. Tell it what's happening in your own words and it does the heavy lifting alongside you.
Ask Stewrd anything about your situation. It draws on UK employment law — the Employment Rights Act, Equality Act 2010, ACAS codes of practice — and explains what applies to you, in language a knowledgeable colleague would use. Not a lawyer. Not a textbook.
As you chat, key facts are captured and confirmed into a structured timeline. No formal log to write, no notes to take. Stewrd builds the record as you go — dated, clear, and in order.
Attach letters, fit notes, emails, or photos directly to your case. Stewrd reads them, confirms what they mean for your situation, and makes sure nothing important gets missed or buried.
When things escalate, generate a professional PDF timeline in seconds. Everything in order, with dates, confirmed facts, and evidence. Ready to hand to your rep, HR, or a solicitor.
Your case data is stored securely with full user isolation — only you can access it. No employer, no third party, and not even Stewrd can read your records unless you choose to export them.
Not designed in a boardroom. Built by someone who spent 6 years sitting with members in the worst moments of their working lives. Stewrd is also useful for reps themselves — a union officer consulted during development called it excellent for timeline documentation when supporting members.
Getting started
When something happens at work, the last thing you need is a complicated new app. Stewrd gets out of the way.
Name the situation — disciplinary, absence review, grievance, or just something that felt off. No account, no setup. You're in immediately.
In your own words. Stewrd asks the right follow-up questions, explains your rights, and quietly builds a structured record behind the conversation as you go.
If things escalate, tap export. Your complete case becomes a clean PDF timeline — ready to share with your rep, HR, or a solicitor whenever you're ready.
See it in action
Stewrd captures key points as you go. What your manager said. What you were told. What outcome was mentioned. All timestamped, all yours.
Each conversation adds to a growing record — so when things escalate, you have a clear, structured account rather than a mess of memory and notes.
One tap generates a complete case pack. Dated evidence. Confirmed facts. Ready to hand to whoever needs to see it.
On unions
Unions matter. Collective representation, negotiated agreements, reps who know your workplace and your rights — that's irreplaceable. If you're not in a union, join one. Stewrd will tell you the same thing. It even has a built-in union directory to help you find the right one for your sector.
But there's a gap that exists for every worker: the moment something happens and your rep isn't available. The disciplinary letter that lands on a Friday afternoon. The informal chat with your manager that turns out to be anything but. The conversation where something was said that you know — in your gut — you'll need to remember later.
By the time most workers find their rep, the timeline is already fuzzy. The key facts are mixed up with the emotion of it all. Stewrd exists to fix that — capturing what happened, when, and what was said, so that when your rep does arrive, you hand them something they can actually work with.
Not instead of a union. Alongside one.

Stewrd ("the App") is developed and operated by Stewrd. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the App.
Stewrd is built on the principle that your workplace information belongs to you. We take the confidentiality of what you record seriously — workplace cases are sensitive, and our approach to data reflects that.
Stewrd is built around the principle that your data belongs on your device, not on a server. On-device storage — where everything you record stays entirely on your own phone and is never transmitted to or held by Stewrd — is a core product commitment and the direction the App is actively built towards.
During the current pre-launch and early access phase, some data may be processed via secure server infrastructure to support AI responses. This is handled with full user isolation — your data cannot be accessed by other users or third parties. The roadmap goal is for all case data, records, notes, and evidence to be stored locally on your device, with no server copy held by Stewrd.
We will update this policy and notify users when full on-device storage is verified and in place.
Stewrd does not:
When you send a message within the App, your message is sent to a secure AI processing service to generate a response. This is processed in accordance with the AI provider's data processing agreement. Message content is not retained by the AI provider beyond the session and is not used for training.
When you choose to export a case pack, you control where it is sent. Stewrd does not transmit your export to any third party — it is delivered directly to you to share as you choose.
Stewrd does not require you to register with a name, email address, or personal details to use the App's core features.
Stewrd is intended for adults in workplace environments. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16 years of age.
We may update this policy as the App develops. Material changes will be communicated via an in-app notice or by updating the date above.
