## 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 4 releases)

### 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

### 1.1 — 2026-07-22

Stronger protection, faster accountability, and a simpler way to bring your wife in.

• Instant pack alerts — when the filter blocks adult content, your pack is notified within seconds, even if the app is closed. Alerts now name the brother so you know who to reach out to.

• A better block screen — attempts to open a blocked site in Safari now show a Watchman screen with encouragement and Scripture instead of a generic error.

• Pack alerts on the Team tab — today's setbacks, prayer requests, and filter alerts in one place. Resets every morning so each day starts with a clean slate.

• Self-paced workbook — go one day at a time, at your speed. Join a pack any time and start from Day 1.

• Invite your wife with one link — share a single link; she installs the app, creates her account, and your accounts link automatically. She can also enter a code any time from Profile or Partners.

• Simpler sign-up — no email confirmation step; you're in immediately.

• One daily check-in reminder — only if you haven't checked in yet that day.

• Report a Bug from Profile, plus fixes for workbook errors and duplicate alerts.
