Ascent: Daily Formation
A structured path to virtue
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Ascent is a 43-step spiritual formation app that gives you one focused step each day. No noise. No feeds. Just a clear, structured path toward becoming a better person.
The daily practice — guided journal, prompts, reviews, and export.
HOW IT WORKS
Start with Step 1. Read the guided lesson. Sit with the reflection prompts. Take on today's challenge. Write what comes to mind. Mark it complete. Come back tomorrow.
The path covers conversion, vice, virtue, the beatitudes, the gifts, devotion, and a final integration. 43 steps. One climb.
WHAT'S FREE
Every reading is free — all 43 steps. Open any step you've reached and read the lesson and the prayer, start to finish, at no cost.
WHAT'S PREMIUM ($4.99/month)
Premium opens the practice — what turns a reading into formation:
— The guided journal on every step: Capture, Convert, Pray, Plan
— Reflection prompts and the daily and weekly practices
— The guided review at the close of each step
— Revisit and refine any step you've walked, and your Year of Ascent at the summit
— Journal export in Markdown and JSON

Built by Lemieux Strategic Solutions.
The practice is now a guided journal. Each step moves through four turns — Capture what you read, Convert it into what the Spirit is asking of you, Pray it back, and Plan one concrete thing to carry into your day.
Every reading is now free — all 43 steps. The practice is for those who want to go deeper.
Also in this release:
— The plan you make can find you later in the day. Set a follow-up reminder and log how it went.
— Go back to any step you've finished, re-read what it drew out of you, and refine it.
— Reach the summit and look back across all 43 steps in your Year of Ascent.
