This page is written by one of the two apps on it. Ours. We've kept it honest, because a comparison that only flatters the author is worth nothing to the person reading it.
Ever Accountable reports honestly and cheaply, and it sees inside apps where the trouble actually lives. What a report can't do is change the night it's reporting on.
The idea: your device activity gets summarized into reports for a trusted person, so temptation loses the privacy it feeds on. Ever Accountable does this across phones, tablets, and computers on one subscription, and it gives you control over how much detail your accountability partner sees. Compared to some rivals it's simpler and more affordable, and it monitors inside apps where a lot of the trouble actually lives, not just the browser.
Roughly $10/mo for individuals, less on annual — check their site
Ever Accountable is reporting software. It tells the truth about what happened — which is valuable — but it doesn't help you build the life where less happens. There's no daily program, no urge toolkit, no journal, nobody to talk to inside it.
It also requires an accountability partner who's up for the role, and here's something worth saying carefully: a spouse reading those reports is doing hard emotional labor, and no report ever asks how they're holding up. If the person receiving the reports is also the person being hurt by the habit, they need more than a weekly summary. They need support too.
Knowing that someone will see it does change the moment of decision — that's real and it's why this software exists. But it works by making you watched, and being watched is not the same as being different. The report arrives after. It describes the evening. It has nothing to offer while the evening is happening.
What we built is for during. An SOS screen you can open one-handed at the exact moment, with breathing, grounding, a 2.5-minute exercise that takes the urge up over its peak and out the other side, and recorded voices that talk you through it aloud. Then a daily lesson, a few minutes, that keeps working on the reason underneath — across thirteen tracks, because the screen is rarely the only leak.
And the person reading your reports. If that's your wife or your partner, they're doing hard, unpaid emotional labour every week and nothing in the software is for them. Here they get their own side — their own lessons, their own private journal, and a couples programme where the only thing shared is a day count.
Free, forever. Every lesson, every tool.

Pick this if you already know what happened and what you're missing is what to do instead — or if the person receiving your reports is the person you most need to stop hurting.
