WHAT IT TAKES TO CLOSE LOOPHOLES
Easy, built-in protection from loopholes (out of the box) Covenant Eyes recommends setting up:

• Apple’s Screen Time with age-appropriate restrictions
• A passcode held only by your ally/guardian (not the user)
• Content & Privacy Restrictions to prevent changes
• Disabling app installation from the App Store
• Disabling app deletion (to protect their Victory Shield™ app)
• Limiting adult/explicit websites
• Related safeguards—including optionally deleting social media apps (like Instagram) so access routes through Safari for screen monitoring
Detailed instructions here
Does not require giving your PIN code to another person Requires a passcode held only by your ally/guardian
Does not risk locking you out of your phone if your friend forgets your PIN code Risk of lockout if your friend forgets your PIN code
Does not require you to lock yourself out of your settings Requires disabling app installation from the App Store
Does not require you to disable installing apps Recommends disabling app installation and deletion, and optionally deleting social media apps (like Instagram) so access routes through Safari for screen monitoring
HOW IT PROTECTS YOU
Reports are sent to accountability partners Reports go to your accountability partner
Can block pornographic content in websites (you decide if you want blocking) Can block porn sites on the web (optional)
Warning messages pop up in seconds to remind you to get to safety No real-time, on-screen content warnings inside apps
You decide if you want blurred, unblurred, or no screenshots reported Safari screenshots are blurred (can’t be unblurred)
Blocks pornographic content inside apps like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc. (you can turn this on in settings) No on-screen protection inside apps like Instagram/TikTok (can’t see what you’re scrolling)
Protection from sexualized “thirst trap” content across browsers and apps “Thirst-trap” content: Safari may flag suggestive/explicit screenshots — inside apps it can’t see what’s on your screen
LOOPHOLE GUARANTEE?
The “No Loophole” Guarantee: If the app stops protecting you because of a loophole you discovered (at ANY point in your membership), we’ll refund up to 90 days of your subscription payments. We’ll take your word for it. No publicly stated “loophole guarantee”
PROTECTION STYLE OUTSIDE SAFARI
Uses AI to watch the images inside apps like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc. and protects from porn Can’t see what you’re watching/scrolling inside Instagram/TikTok/YouTube feeds
Detects, warns, reports, and blocks pornographic images on pornographic websites in browsers other than Safari Sends your Ally reports on porn-site visits (blocking is optional)
Protects from pornography on sites that contain both safe and pornographic material Can block a whole site, not a specific page (mixed-content sites are harder)
Does not automatically activate “Safe Search” in Google (instead it warns, reports, and blocks sexualized images in search results, and you can still activate Safe Search yourself) Locks Google SafeSearch ON (filters explicit results before you click)
Does not create connectivity headaches May cause connectivity hassles sometimes (VPN-style filter; may need troubleshooting)

“iPhone accountability apps are normally TERRIBLE…You’re saying yours is actually GOOD?”

Yes. That’s exactly what we’re saying. Ever Accountable is the accountability software that keeps you safe INSIDE all your other apps.

If you have an iPhone, Ever Accountable has BY FAR the most user-friendly app ever created, and here’s why:

With most accountability apps, you basically can’t use your iPhone apps. That means all those things you liked…TikTok, Instagram, other stuff…you just have to say goodbye to them in the name of being safe.

But now, even on your iPhone… you can finally stay protected WHILE you’re using all your favorite apps!

Here’s how it works:

1. You open up Instagram…

2. You see something odd, and Ever Accountable warns you:

“Concerning content detected. Please get this off the screen.”

3. If you don’t respond to the warning, then (and only then) will your AP know about it.

With most other accountability software on iPhone You can’t even use your apps because they can’t do this!

Here’s an example from Mac Dohm (Creator of “Porn Free Millennial”):

Real stories from men who saved their relationships with Ever Accountable

I was looking at porn every day. Couldn’t figure out how to break the cycle. I was lying to my wife about it. Felt truly desperate to find something that worked. I figured out Ever Accountable was going to work when I went to look at porn again, and realized that my wife would see it and be upset, so I didn’t go to the porn. Then I realized ‘This is actually going to work because of that deterrent.’”

— Paul R.

My wife and I feel like it is helpful in building up the trust, and helping her feel like she is in the know with anything that is potentially a slippery slope. And be able to get out ahead of it so that the porn problem doesn’t pick up steam.”

— Mitchell M.

When my husband decided to start using the Ever Accountable app, he thought that me (the Accountability Partner) being able to see everything he does would be horrible. But after a day or two of using the app, he said he felt a weight being lifted off of him. He finally didn’t have to carry this burden alone. He said he wants to use the app for the rest of his life. Thank you, Ever Accountable!”

— From an Anonymous Happy Wife

I was given this tool from my counselor that I’m seeing. It’s been so good that my wife asks if it even works! She hasn’t received any texts or notices that I’ve searched anything, so she was wondering! I told her ‘Yes, it works! I’m not searching or reaching out for that anymore!’ She’s been seeing my weekly report and that has been comforting for her as well. She’s also seen a big change in me.”

— Jason

Everyone has questions.

We'll do our best to answer a few of them here.

Canopy is a content filter — it blocks explicit websites and images before they reach your screen. Ever Accountable does that too, but it also monitors what's actually on your screen inside every app using on-device AI. Canopy can't see inside apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Ever Accountable can. And Ever Accountable adds something Canopy doesn't offer — a real accountability partner who receives reports on your activity.
No. Canopy filters websites but does not filter inside apps like Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok. If you're using a social media app, Canopy's protection doesn't apply. Ever Accountable monitors content inside every app on your phone — that's where most temptation actually happens.
Users have reported workarounds — Google Image search showing blurred explicit images that can be clicked through, guest accounts on the same phone bypassing the filter, and secondary user profiles with unrestricted access. In addition to blocking sites, Ever Accountable also watches your screen and alerts your accountability partner if something concerning appears. Even if you find a way around a filter, someone you trust will know.
Some Canopy users report significant internet slowdowns — one user saw speeds drop from 300 Mbps to 45 Mbps. Others reported the app using over 12 GB of cellular data in a single month. Canopy routes your traffic through its filter, which creates the bottleneck. Ever Accountable doesn't filter your internet traffic — it monitors your screen directly. No VPN, no speed impact, no extra data usage.
95% of Ever Accountable customers say they see an immediate reduction in porn use. The difference is accountability — knowing someone you trust can see your activity changes your behavior in a way that a filter alone can't. Filters block websites, but accountability changes you. If it doesn't work for you within 90 days, we'll give you a full refund — no questions asked.
Yes. Some people run both — Canopy as a first layer of website filtering, and Ever Accountable as the accountability layer behind it. But most EA users find they don't need a separate blocker because Ever Accountable blocks known porn sites AND monitors inside every app AND reports to a partner. One app instead of two.
Ever Accountable is ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified — the highest international standards for data security and privacy. All AI processing happens on your device. Your private data never leaves your phone. Canopy routes your internet traffic through its servers for filtering, which means your browsing data passes through a third party. Canopy does not list ISO certifications for security or privacy.
Canopy costs $9.99/month or $99/year for a family plan. Ever Accountable is $14.99/month or $129/year ($10.75/mo). Ever Accountable costs more but includes inside-app AI protection, real accountability partner reports, and built-in blocking — features that replace the need for a separate filter.
