The Everything AA app is one of the most popular, highly-rated mobile resources designed to support individuals navigating Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step recovery program. It acts as an all-in-one digital toolkit, combining essential AA literature, community trackers, and audio resources in a single interface.
The app is completely free, does not feature ads, and is available for both iOS and Android devices.

Recent Changes to the App
Originally built and maintained by an independent developer, Everything AA was recently acquired by A.A. World Services (AAWS), the official administrative body of Alcoholics Anonymous. While the app remains free and ad-free, the acquisition means that ongoing voluntary supporter subscriptions are redirected to support AAWS directly, and the app is continuously integrated with official literature and guidelines.
AAWS purchase of the Everything AA app brings a previously independent, community-driven resource under official central administration. Moving forward, the app is expected to transition into a subscription-based model and will exclusively feature GSO-approved literature, removing third-party materials like the Joe & Charlie tapes.
