## What is Stay On Guard?

On Guard is your defense against explicit content, built on Apple's own Screen Time controls and backed by real accountability.

Most blockers are a settings toggle you can quietly flip off in a weak moment. On Guard is different. It pairs iPhone-native blocking with a trusted ally who hears if your defense ever comes down. Willpower gets backup.

WHAT IT DOES

Block. Choose the apps that pull you under. Apps you block never open. A shield stands in the way, every time. Safari's adult-content filter is enforced, so explicit sites are stopped before they load.

Nudge. Some apps you don't want gone, just governed. Set them to Nudge and On Guard pushes back when you sink in: a reminder at the threshold you choose, with one tap to something better. Or close it and get back to the real world.

Real accountability. Invite an ally you trust. If your defense ever comes down, the shield revoked or the app removed, they get a discreet check-in. No details. No screenshots. Just a nudge for real-world support. Opt-in, always.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Everything stays on your device. No screenshots are taken. No browsing history is tracked or uploaded, ever. Your ally never sees what's on your screen. Check-ins carry no content, no sites, no specifics.

BUILT FOR SELF-COMMAND

On Guard is for men who are done losing small battles in private and want a real system to win them. 
You stay in control of your devices. Your device doesn't control you.

One subscription covers all your devices.

Stay On Guard.
