InnerAscent
Anonymity isn't a feature we bolted on — it's the starting point. In the Twelve Step tradition, anonymity protects members and keeps the focus on principles rather than personalities. We designed InnerAscent to carry that same value into your phone.
You choose how much to share
When you create an account, all you need is a nickname. It doesn't have to be your real name. You can use the core of the app — the Twelve Steps journey, journaling, meeting finder, and clean-time tracking — without ever telling us who you are.
Adding an email is optional. If you do add one, it's only used to recover your account and to grant any premium access. We never sell it, and we never display it to other members.
Your recovery content belongs to you
Journal entries, step writing, and inventories are yours. They're encrypted in transit and at rest. When you use sponsor features, you decide exactly what to share and with whom — nothing is shared automatically.
A word about the AI assistant
The optional AI Reflection Assistant references your own journal and step progress so its responses are grounded and relevant. Prompts are processed to generate a response — not to identify you — and the assistant is never a replacement for your sponsor or a professional.
Profile pictures, without the photo
To protect anonymity, we never ask for a real photo. If you want a profile image, the app can generate an anonymous, illustrated character for you instead. You can regenerate or remove it anytime.
Delete anytime
You can remove your recovery content from within the app whenever you like, or contact us to delete your account entirely. Your recovery, your terms.
