Choose Covenant Eyes if…
- You want device-level monitoring across a family or household.
- You have a trusted ally willing to receive reports.
- You want built-in filtering as a hard barrier.
Choose Oathfire if…
- You don’t want another person reading your browsing report—or there’s nobody you’d ask.
- Filters haven’t fixed it, because the problem travels with you, not the device.
- You want to build the identity of a man who keeps his word—not just block one behavior.
What Oathfire is (and isn’t)
Oathfire is not monitoring software. It doesn’t screenshot your phone, filter websites, or email a report to anyone. If you want device-level surveillance, the apps on this page do that—some of them well.
Oathfire attacks the problem at the root: your word to yourself. You swear one oath, out loud, in your own voice. Every night you answer one question—kept or broken—on your honor. In the moment of weakness, one button plays your own voice back: the man who swore at 6 a.m. talking to the man about to fold at 11 p.m. No ally reading reports. No filter to outsmart. Just you, your word, and a system built to make keeping it feel like winning a war.
Plenty of men run both: a filter on the device, Oathfire on the man.
Your word is your weapon.
Oathfire is launching on iOS. Get early access—swear one oath, out loud, and keep it.
Questions men actually ask
Is Oathfire a replacement for Covenant Eyes?
Different weapons. Covenant Eyes watches the screen and reports to an ally. Oathfire builds the man: one spoken oath, a nightly honor-system reckoning, your own voice at the moment of temptation. Some men run both—filter on the device, oath on the man.
Which is cheaper, Oathfire or Covenant Eyes?
Oathfire: $59.99/year ($1.15/week), $9.99/month, or $129.99 once. Covenant Eyes: $17–18.99/month, roughly $184/year. Over a year that’s about a third the price.
Does Oathfire report to an accountability partner?
No. Your oath, your record, your scars—private. Accountability comes from the ritual: you answer “did you keep your word?” every night, and a broken oath snuffs your torch and resets your count. It’s designed for men who’d rather answer to themselves than be surveilled.
