Our Android Service Has Been Overhauled Over the last few months, we’ve kept you up to date on some major changes to our app on Android. First, we told you about how Google told us to stop using the Accessibility Feature, which at the time we were using to provide Accountability and Filtering. A few months after that, we invited you to help us test a fix. And a month ago, we told you we were testing a new way to provide app reporting and locking. All this hard work has paid off, and we’re pleased to announce that our … Continue reading →
One month ago, we released a rebuilt app for Android, featuring monitoring of top-level domains visited across all apps. So far, feedback has been positive… but we’ve also heard people lamenting the loss of app locking and reporting. App Locking and Reporting Are Back! If you’re one of those people, we have good news!

In December, we told you that Google informed a large list of developers, including us, that we would no longer be able to use Android’s accessibility feature to monitor and filter Android devices.

Our mission is to provide tools that help men and women live porn-free and to give partners the information they … Continue reading →
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ 2015 statement Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography has been an inspiration and guide to Catholic leaders as they seek to address the severity of pornography in today’s internet age. In the document, the U.S. bishops encourage clergy to embrace their sacred duty to protect children from pornography. As they explain, “The use of pornography by anyone in the home deprives the home of its role as a safe haven and has negative effects throughout a family’s life and across generations.” The bishops also challenge clergy to create … Continue reading →
Since the release of the new Covenant Eyes iOS Accountability app in late 2017, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Our ability to connect our Accountability services into deeper parts of the iPhone, including apps, and force Google safe searches no matter where Google is accessed, has been very helpful to our customers. Our members have asked a lot of great questions about the new app. I thought that I’d address a few of the more common questions that have come through both our blog and our world-class Customer Support Team. Question: Can you see my texts? Answer: No, we … Continue reading →
