## What is Bold Watchman?

Watchman is a faith-based accountability app for men pursuing freedom and walking it out together.

"The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion." — Proverbs 28:1

Real change doesn't happen alone. Watchman gives you a community, daily rhythms, and the Scripture to stand firm — with optional, privacy-first content filtering when you want an extra layer of protection.

FREE — the core is always free:
• Daily check-in — a simple thumbs-up or an honest "setback," so your group always knows how you're really doing.
• Your community — a small accountability team with shared activity, encouragement, and prayer.
• Prayer requests — share what you're carrying and pray for one another.
• Scripture & devotionals — a verse of the day and written devotionals to renew your mind.
• Meetings — join your group's gatherings, in person or virtual.
• Notifications — gentle nudges and real-time encouragement when a brother needs you.

WATCHMAN PREMIUM — optional protection:
• An on-device content filter that blocks adult sites across browsers.
• Real-time alerts to your accountability team when something is blocked — accountability that's immediate, not a weekly report.

PRIVACY FIRST — this matters to us:
• All filtering runs on your device.
• We never collect or transmit your browsing history, the sites you visit, or any screenshots.
• Your team sees only that something was blocked — never what you were doing.
• No keystroke logging. No data sale. Ever.

Watchman is built and maintained by the B.O.L.D. ministry — Brothers Overcoming Lustful Desires — to help men find lasting freedom through faith, accountability, and discipleship.

Free to start. Watchman Premium is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks protection on every device you use; cancel anytime in Settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.3 — 2026-11-06

A brief glimpse of a suggestive image in Safari is no longer reported to your team as explicit content.

After a few clear check-ins, Watchman may ask you to rate the app. It asks rarely and never after a hard day.

Small improvements and fixes.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-19

This update starts with a fix: if Watchman wouldn't open after you moved to iOS 27, it opens again now. Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience.

Your filter also comes back on by itself now. If your phone restarts, updates, or drops the connection, Watchman turns protection back on without you having to open the app.

Setting up is simpler too. A new "Set up protection" checklist walks you through the filter, Screen Time and Safari in one place, and Safari accountability now takes a single trip to Settings.

We added Report and Block to private messages and church chat. If someone crosses a line, you can flag it and the B.O.L.D. team will look at it. You can also block him so you stop hearing from him.

Packs now have a check-in board that shows everyone's week and streaks together, and leaders can look at several packs at once.

We also made the chat menus work better with VoiceOver and fixed a handful of smaller things.

Thanks for walking this road with us.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-12

Watchman 1.3 is our biggest update yet.

SAFARI ACCOUNTABILITY
• Watchman can now check what you view in Safari, right on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded: no screenshots, no web addresses.
• If explicit or suggestive content is detected, your pack and spouse get a simple alert with the category and time, never the image.
• Your pack is told if Safari's private browsing is used, or if accountability is turned off.
• One tap opens the exact Settings page you need to finish setup.

BLOCKING AND FILTER CONTROLS
• Block apps (Watchman+): choose apps to lock while your filter is on. Which apps you block stays private.
• Filter settings: block gambling, dating, or social media alongside adult content, and set SafeSearch.
• Block any website: sites you add are saved and blocked right away. Removing one requires your passcode.
• Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked inside Watchman to protect your brothers' privacy.

FOR PACKS AND CHURCHES
• Church invite links: leaders can invite men with a link or QR code.
• Private messages between church leaders and their members.
• Leaders can view check-in history by date range or by member.
• Leaders can mark a member as a minor. Minors don't see prayer requests or other men's check-in notes.
• BOLD Coach cards connect church leaders with their coaches.

ENCOURAGEMENT
• After a hard day, the next morning brings a word of grace instead of questions.

Plus many reliability fixes, including a stronger filter that restarts itself if it is ever interrupted.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-18

This update improves the accuracy of Watchman's content filter, cutting down on false alerts for everyday websites while keeping protection strong. We also fixed an issue where a partner-set passcode couldn't stop the filter, and improved how the app detects when protection has been turned off outside the app.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-28

This update makes Watchman steadier and faster for every man in the pack:

• Fixed a startup issue that kept the app from opening on some older iPhones
• New members now land in a welcome group and hear from a leader right away
• Team chat and check-ins are more dependable, with notifications that arrive when they should
• Faster, smoother reading for devotionals and the workbook
• Behind-the-scenes improvements to subscriptions and stability
