About

Step 10 AI

Features
Read full description

Step 10 AI is a private, no-account journal built around one thing: a daily tenth-step practice. FOUR WAYS TO WORK STEP TEN • Classic 10 — the ten classic questions, as one quick scroll. Yes or no on each, with an optional note. • Journal inventory — the fuller nightly review, walked through one screen at a time. • Spot check — for the moment something happens, a quick check-in rather than a full review. • Gratitude — a running list, one day at a time. REFLECT WITH AI, ON YOUR OWN TERMS Add your own Anthropic API key and Step 10 AI can offer a reflective response to what you've written, or talk it through with you in a chat that draws on your own recent entries. No key, no AI features — everything else works exactly the same either way, and nothing is ever sent anywhere until you choose to use one of these features. A MORNING NUDGE, IF YOU WANT ONE Answer "What could we have done better?" during a nightly review, and get a quiet reminder the next morning to come back to it — just a nudge, with nothing shown on the lock screen. YOUR DATA, ON YOUR DEVICE Everything you log stays on your phone. There's no account, no sign-in, and no server run by this app. Export your full log to a file whenever you want, and import it back in on another device. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Nothing you write ever leaves your device unless you actively use an AI feature — and even then, it goes straight from your phone to Anthropic's API, never through, and never retrievable by, the developer. Step 10 AI is an independent app. In keeping with Tradition 6, it is not endorsed by, and has no affiliation with, AA or any other twelve-step fellowship.
