Features
AnchorVow is not one feature. It is a system where accountability, blocking, and monitoring work together so there is nowhere to quietly slip. Here is each piece: what it is, and why it matters.
Invite one or more people you trust to walk alongside you. Your partner can see your protection status and your daily answers, and they are alerted the moment something slips.
Why it matters: Sin grows in secret. When a real person is watching with you (not to shame you, but to help you) a hard moment becomes a conversation instead of a hidden fall.
Pornographic and adult content is blocked before it ever loads, filtered at the DNS level on your phone wherever it goes, and optionally across your whole home network when you add router protection.
Why it matters: A wall you have to talk yourself over is far stronger than willpower alone. Blocking the door quietly shuts off the easy paths back into what you are trying to leave.
AnchorVow watches for the apps people install to dodge a filter: VPNs, proxies, and other workarounds. If one appears, or if protection is turned off, your partner is told.
Why it matters: This is the piece most tools miss. A filter with no one watching the back door is a filter you can quietly walk around. Here, the workaround itself becomes the alert.
Need a site the filter blocks for work or study? Add it to your whitelist; it takes effect right away, and your partner is notified the moment you do, so nothing is ever loosened in secret. Want to lock down more than the default? Add your own sites to block anytime, with no approval needed, because a block only ever tightens protection.
Why it matters: Real life is not a single setting, and flexibility keeps the tool usable. But you can never quietly widen the gaps: every site you allow is instantly visible to your partner, who can review or remove it. The point is not approval; it is that nothing you unlock stays hidden.
A brief daily questionnaire asks how you are really doing, with a handful of honest questions, not a burden. Your answers are shared with your partner, and a missed check-in is noticed.
Why it matters: Honesty is a habit. A daily rhythm gives your partner something concrete to encourage you with, and keeps truth, not guesswork, at the center of the relationship.
Each day opens with a passage of Scripture to anchor your heart before the day pulls at it. Save the verses you want to hold onto and return to them to memorize.
Why it matters: Freedom is not just the absence of sin; it is fixing your eyes on Christ. A daily verse keeps the goal in view: walking free, not merely avoiding a fall.
A private, secure space to message your partner, right where the accountability lives. Start typing the words of a verse and it appears automatically in the conversation, ready to send.
Why it matters: When an alert fires or a check-in is hard, you can reach out without shame and without leaving the app, and Scripture is right there to speak into the moment.
If protection is disabled, the device goes offline, or a workaround app appears, your partner is alerted loudly and immediately, not in a weekly summary that arrives too late.
Why it matters: This is the heart of AnchorVow: loud and immediate, not quiet and private. Alerts fire the moment something looks wrong, so nothing slips through in silence.
No single feature carries the weight. Accountability tells you after, blocking tries to stop it, and monitoring watches the back doors, together closing the gaps the other apps leave open. The daily rhythm and Scripture keep the goal in view: not just avoiding a fall, but walking free.
Every one of these features exists to do one thing Scripture calls us to: cut off the easy path back to sin. Start your free trial and invite the partner who will walk with you.
