Choose Covenant Eyes if

You want a Christian approach, with prayer and a faith community.

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.
