Shepherd Guard

Shepherd Guard is a grace-filled pause between impulse and action. You set the boundaries. Shepherd helps you keep them. Choose the apps and websites you want help with, or turn on a built-in list of common adult sites. When you open one, Shepherd pauses you and reminds you why you chose this, in your own words. Then the choice is yours: talk to Shepherd, or continue. THREE WAYS TO BE HELPED • Gentle: a pause and a reminder. You can always continue. • Strong: the same pause, with 30 seconds to breathe first. • Commitment: a promise for the hours you choose, like 10 PM to 6 AM. Inside them there is no continue. WHEN THE MOMENT COMES • Say what you are actually feeling: lonely, stressed, bored, tired, hurt. • A short true word and Scripture for that feeling. • Pray, read Scripture, or see something God made: a painting and a true fact about His creation. • Get through the next ten minutes with a few small steps and a timer. • Text the one person you trust for encouragement. They never get reports, only a request for prayer when you ask. • Talk it through with Shepherd, the FaithPulse guide that points you to Christ. NO SHAME, NO SURVEILLANCE • No screenshots. No browsing history. No secret monitoring. • No automatic reports to anyone. • No streaks. A hard day never erases the times you chose a different path. • No account needed. Nothing about what you pause leaves your phone, even if you sign in. HELP ALWAYS COMES FIRST Crisis lines, a counselor search, recovery groups and churches near you are on every screen, never behind a pause. Your phone, messages and settings can never be paused. IN EIGHT LANGUAGES English, Español, Filipino, Français, Bahasa Indonesia, 한국어, Português and Tiếng Việt, with Scripture from each language's own Bible. Choose yours on the first screen. For adults 18 and older, choosing for themselves. ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE: Android has no built-in way to pause the apps you choose, so Shepherd Guard uses Android's Accessibility service to see which app is open and, in your browser, the website address, only to pause what you chose. It does not read, store or send what is on your screen, and nothing leaves your phone.
