Instead of relying on willpower alone, Saint Steps gives you a structured system that trains your mind, strengthens your habits, and restores control. Built on the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, the spiritual exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, and modern psychology through a Catholic lens, Saint Steps is designed to reforge your mind, heart, and soul. Developed for men who are serious about change, Saint Steps combines daily formation, behavioral psychology, and proven spiritual practices to help you break the cycle for good.

Why Saint Steps works: • Built as a system, not motivation. You don’t need to guess what to do each day • Combines Catholic truth with proven psychological principles of habit formation • Designed for daily use, helping you build temperance through consistent action • Focuses on transformation, not just behavior control Whether you are trying to quit pornography, regain control of your life, or build real discipline, Saint Steps gives you the structure and direction most men never have.

Both are free to download. Saint Steps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Run with Saints asks for nothing beyond the download.
Saint Steps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saint Steps has 370 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Run with Saints's written reviews are positive against 79% of Saint Steps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Run with Saints ships an update every 5 months, Saint Steps every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
