Sworn is a content filter that blocks what you've sworn off—and, if you choose, sends one short email to a trusted friend when you slip. No screenshots. No browsing history collected.
WHAT IT BLOCKS
• Known malware and phishing – Always free, on by default
• Pornography
• Gambling
• Social media
• Online shopping
• Gaming
• VPN and proxy bypass services
You can turn any category on or off at any time. Malware blocking remains free; other categories require a subscription.
BLOCK APPS, NOT JUST WEBSITES
For Social media, Gaming, and Gambling, Sworn can also block the apps themselves—not only their websites. When you open an app you've chosen to block, Sworn closes it and returns you to your home screen. This is optional and is powered by Android's Accessibility permission (see "Accessibility permission" below). It never prevents you from uninstalling Sworn or any other app.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install Sworn and pick what to block.
2. Turn on the filter — the app walks you through one simple Settings screen.
3. (Optional) Add up to three accountability partners by email. Each partner receives one email asking for consent. They tap a link to accept, or simply ignore it to decline.
4. Stay accountable. When you trip the filter, your confirmed partners receive one short email. It tells them you tripped the filter, but never shares the URL or the app name. Further attempts within the next 24 hours are rolled into a single summary to avoid spamming.
You can use Sworn entirely on your own. Accountability partners are optional and off by default.
ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION (Blocked Apps)
Sworn's optional Blocked Apps feature uses the AccessibilityService API. With your permission, Sworn detects which app comes to the foreground and, if it is one you chose to block, sends you back to your home screen. Sworn reads only the name of the app on screen—it never reads the contents of your screen, your keystrokes, your messages, or any other text, and nothing it observes ever leaves your device. Website filtering works fully without this permission; granting it is your choice, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings → Accessibility → Sworn.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
• Private by design: We never see your screen. Unlike other accountability tools, Sworn does not take screenshots.
• Discreet alerts: Partners see an attempt count, never a list of sites or apps. They see "1 blocked attempt today," not your private activity.
• Consent first: We never email anyone without permission. Every partner must opt in.
• Speed & simplicity: No account. No password. Setup takes about three minutes.
SUBSCRIPTION
A monthly subscription unlocks every category beyond malware, plus the accountability partner features. You can cancel at any time in your Google Play subscriptions. Malware blocking stays free even after a subscription ends.
PRIVACY & TERMS
We do not log the websites you visit. Partner email addresses are stored only to deliver alerts and only after the partner consents.
