RealMenDontPorn - Accountability App
RealMenDontPorn is an accountability app designed for men navigating the challenges of the digital age, especially those who recognize the negative impact of pornography on their personal well-being and relationships. The app supports users in battling addiction, promoting recovery, and preventing relapse. It welcomes anyone committed to this journey, regardless of their motivation, emphasizing that overcoming addiction should not be faced alone or in secrecy.
The app counters hidden behavior by monitoring device activities—even in incognito mode—and reporting them to a trusted buddy. It tracks visited links, including browsing history, and flags suspicious content. It also monitors on-screen text to detect concerning material within apps where links may not be present. Alerts are sent to the buddy when porn sites are visited, suspicious text is detected, or an uninstall is attempted.
Buddies receive daily email reports and can access a real-time dashboard for review. A buddy should be someone supportive yet honest—such as a partner, friend, or family member—who will hold the user accountable. Users can customize sensitivity settings (high, medium, low) and assign a limited role to their buddy to protect privacy by showing only flagged activities.
The app offers a flat fee for multi-device use, with computer installation available via their website. The customer success team is responsive and dedicated to user support, aiming to ensure everyone’s success.
For enhanced protection, the app recommends pairing with Detoxify, a porn blocker and web filter. Troubleshooting assistance is available through direct contact with support, and users are advised to disable battery optimization for the app to function properly. The app requires Accessibility and Device Administrator permissions solely for monitoring and uninstall alerts.
