InnerAscent
A 12-step app is useful when it holds the work you already do with a fellowship. It is a poor app when it replaces the fellowship. The Step text used in Alcoholics Anonymous is on aa.org. NA’s own site is na.org. InnerAscent is not those organizations.
This is not medical advice. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. The terms state the same limit.
What “12 step” should mean in an app
You should be able to open a Step, read prompts, and save writing that starts as not shared. Status in InnerAscent moves from not started, to in progress, to complete when you mark it. The app does not require a pace. The 12 Steps explained is the overview. Step 1 explained is where most people begin. Working the Twelve Steps day by day is the practice note.
A sponsor link should use an invite code and stay opt-in. How to find a sponsor is about the person. The app only carries what you choose to show them.
Meetings and clean time
Log a meeting when you attended it. That is self-reported. Find listings in the app when you want them — finding meetings near you. Count clean time from the date you set. The clean time calculator uses the same calendar rules and does not store the date. Writing starters are on recovery journal prompts. The room itself is described in what happens at an NA meeting.

- Android on Google Play. iPhone coming soon — alert me.
- No web app.
- Optional AI reflection during the trial and with Premium after it. It is not a sponsor. See AI recovery companion.
