The Vault 4th Step Inventory App allows you to enter your inventory information in a logical step by step way, then saves the information in an inventory spreadsheet that is laid out much like many of the 4th Step guides that you can find on the internet (like Joe and Charlie’s). The difference is that the Vault app lets you work on your 4th step anywhere, anytime that you are free and in a safe place, NOT just when you are free at your home with your notebook. It is Vault Code protected at all times, so whether it is on your nightstand or at the coffee shop, NO ONE can access your inventory but you.

We decided (through much discussion) to minimize all instructions on HOW to do a 4th Step. As alcoholics, we had no shortage of opinions on what each of us believed were the best instructions. We decided to use the original text from the Big Book for the actual questions for you to answer, instead of rewording them as we saw some of the 4th Step "guides" do.

Your sponsor may want you to write out (with pen and paper) your 4th step. If that is the case, you may still utilize the app to collect your inventory information, then after printing it out, copy it over by hand.

This app is not AA reviewed or approved. AA does not endorse or approve anything or anyone. All quotes are from the 1st edition of the Big Book. This app was created by members for members. Thanks to their generous support this app is FREE to anyone world-wide. Remember: Our primary purpose is to stay sober, and help another alcoholic.

Thanks,

This app is very well thought out — crystal clear interface, delightfully intuitive! It is thorough; it leaves nothing out. Imagine: our step work is in our hand (or pocket) wherever we are! And it’s exportable—so it can then be printed out for the 5th Step! Also check their other excellent apps. Hugely thankful!


Not the real thing
Suzanne T.

Shame on you, using the A.A name to sell this free app. Using check marks in an app (during a particularly boring Zoom meeting?) rather than engaging in a prayerful, introspective process with a sponsor who has done the same work and had a spiritual awakening because of it. For shame.


Only use in portrait not landscape
Robin Fox

I have a separate keyboard with my iPad and i can use it because the app only appears in portrait mode and not in Landscape mode. Very annoying.


Good solution

Great app! Could I get one for CR?

I think this app is great! I use it for my daily inventory. I am doing the Celebrate Recovery (CR) 12 Step Study. Could we get a 4th step app just like this that will correspond with the CR 4th Step columns?


Love the app!

This is such a great app, especially because it follows suggestions straight out of the big book! But please, change the age on this. 12 is a bit young don’t you think?

This app is packed with smart features at every button push — crystal clear interface, delightfully intuitive! It is thorough; it leaves no key aspect out. Imagine: our step work is in our hand (or pocket) wherever we are! Also check their Step 10 app.
