Covenant Eyes for Mac OS X

Covenant Eyes has released a Mac version of its system application that monitors computer use and generates a complete report for web browsing, newsgroups, ftp, and filesharing (including timestamps of activity). "Uses of the program include parents who monitor their children's activity; men and women who have had a problem with pornography, and recognize the value of accountability; businesses which desire to monitor productivity of employees; churches which desire to demonstrate integrity through a policy of accountability; and colleges which desire to have their students remain accountable," according to the company. Covenant Eyes, which supports both Fast User Switching and Intel-based Macs, can be used on multiple computers at no extra charge, including a combination of Mac and PC computers. Reports are provided to Accountability Partners by email, or by web access at any time. It is available for Mac OS X 10.4; single user licenses cost $7 per month--with significant for larger groups, such as families ($15/six members).
