Choose Covenant Eyes if
- You want a blocker on your phone.
- You have someone you trust to see your activity, and that helps you.
- You want a Christian approach, with prayer and a faith community.
Choose Everbead if
- You don’t want anyone else to see what you do, or you have no one to ask.
- You want to see your own progress grow, one clean night at a time.
- You want help in the moment an urge hits, not a report afterwards.
What Everbead is
- Each night you check in. A clean night lights a bead. A slip leaves a hollow bead, and every bead you lit stays.
- When an urge hits, tap Urge for a one-minute breathing pause while it settles.
- Each urge you beat unlocks an answer in Insights, like when your urges hit and what helps you most.
- No account and no server. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. We can’t see it.
- The name, icon and notifications look like a habit app. Face ID can lock it.
- $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, free for the first 7 days. Coming soon to iPhone.
Everbead has no content blocker, no community and no accountability partner. If you need one of those, pick an app that has it.
