Break the cycle. Build virtue. Become free.
Saint Steps is a Catholic formation app designed to help men overcome pornography and rebuild their lives through discipline, truth, and grace. 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.
What you can do with Saint Steps:
• Follow a structured 6-month formation regimen designed to eliminate relapse and build the virtue of temperance through daily action
• Track your progress with the Grace Streak and build real momentum toward lasting freedom
• Stop urges in real time with the Panic Button, using personalized images, prayers, and reminders
• Begin and end each day with guided meditations, scripture, and formation content
• Reflect daily with a guided examination of conscience to stay aligned and accountable
• Train discipline through intentional fasting, habit tracking and action based habit formation.
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.
Start your path to freedom today.

Core content is good, needs sprucing, also is too expensive
MarcusMcM.
I really like this app and it has helped me. What I’d say helped me most was that I paid for it, which kept me using it. I will say, though, that from the top off my head there are grammatical and spelling errors in at least a quarter of the daily Morning/Evening content. Also the evening content often does more of a regurgitation of the previous bullet points from the morning content, and hardly goes in depth. That being said, the content is good, very inspiring, and certainly provokes the consumer to do further research. I also really like the immersive graphics of the daily content.What I would change: 1. Make it like $2-5 a month, maybe adding extra perks for a more expensive subscription. Or maybe just lower the perks of the normal subscription and make what the app currently provides something like a premium version and keep the same monthly rate.2. Have all the content checked for grammar and spelling3. Go in further detail regarding the saints for Evening Content. If they struggled with a certain vice, give an anecdote. Give a quote from the saint. Provide who they inspired or who inspired them. Maybe add links to resources about the daily Saint.
Journey

This is my first time using Saint Steps and I’m a little bit nervous going through this journey I pray that this app can help me change my identity of who I was before and to be happy with the Lord and I pray those people who are struggling with the same situation as me and remind yourself of who YOU ARE CATHOLIC BOYS!
Good when it functions properly

This is a revision on a previous review i wrote. The app works great in the battle against lust, the only annoying thing that can happen is every occasional update it just decides to stop working. Right now I'm waiting on it to go back to functioning normally, because whenever I open the app all I see is a + sign and "edit" in the top right corner. I've tried writing anonomyous reports, but nothing I do has worked, so I am writing this so that the devs can sed my issue. Overall a great app, just frusterating when it doesn't work properly. Thanks for all the hard work, God bless

Misleading Ads
jrossb97
Downloaded this because their ad said they had a stewardship program that could help me start the program they offer. After downloading the app, you can’t access anything after the quiz until you pay. (It also asks you to review the app before you even get to that point, which feels misleading for more reasons than one). I support the cause but that’s a bad experience.
Developer Response
Hey Ross, we do give the app away for free and have to many users, our stewardship program is outlined on our website (saintsteps.com). Hope you get all the help you need, let me know if you have any other questions at info@saintsteps.com. God bless.
