  Covenant Eyes Accountability Software:

  Escape the temptation by removing the secrecy of the Internet with Covenant Eyes Accountability software.  Once Covenant Eyes software is installed on a Windows or Mac computer, it monitors and records all web activity and scores all sites according to the maturity of content.  This information is presented in a customizable report that is emailed to the Accountability Partner(s) of your choice.  Partners may choose how often they receive the report by email, and partners and users may also review reports from our online Member Center.

  Because our reports provide scoring, partners and users can easily identify mature web addresses, searches, links, and more. We also show trends for websites viewed and bar charts that show the times of day and night when the Internet is used. While other accountability programs are easily circumvented, Covenant Eyes is simply the strongest, most frequently updated accountability service available.

  Multiple username discounts are available for families and organizations. Each username will generate its own report even though the computer is shared with other Covenant Eyes users. Once you sign up for a username, download our software to as many computers as you like at no charge.

  Covenant Eyes Filtering Software:

  Protect your family with the Covenant Eyes filter service, which is only compatible with Windows PCs. The Accountability software is available for Macs, but the filter is not yet compatible.

  Filter settings may be created for individual usernames on the same computer. For instance, choose more restrictive settings for your child’s username and less strict settings for your own username. Covenant Eyes is flexible and grows with the preferences you request. Or simply use it at its standard settings for complete protection.

  Decide the times of day the Internet may be used, and decide how much time per day or per week the Internet may be surfed. Decide to block or allow individual websites. This software helps filter instant messaging, file sharing, and other protocols. Decide who may override the filter and who may not.

  The CE Filter may be used with the Accountability service or by itself. If you want multiple usernames on the same computer, choose which services are used by each person — accountability, filtering, or both.
