Fourth Step Inventory

Fourth Step Inventory is a private, structured journaling tool designed to help individuals reflect on resentments, personal patterns, and character defects through a card-based inventory process inspired by the Fourth Step of 12-step recovery programs.

The app provides a calm, focused space to document resentments one at a time, examine affected areas of life, and explore personal responsibility without judgment. All entries are stored locally on your device, giving you full control over your data and privacy.

Privacy First
