The teen app for Shepherd Guard Family: a pause with your pastor's voice.
Shepherd Guard for Teens is the teen side of Shepherd Guard Family. A parent sets up Guard Family in Shepherd Guard, invites their teen, and the teen installs this app and enters the family code.
WHAT IT DOES
When the teen opens an app or website the family chose to guard, Shepherd Guard pauses it. Instead of a blank screen, the teen hears a short clip from their church's pastor, a verse, and a reminder of why this matters. Then Shepherd, Guard's guide, helps them choose what to do next: pray, hear a voice that loves them, or step away. Searches for adult content get the same pause, and a search about ending one's life brings 988 and a word of hope first.
WHAT YOUR PARENT SEES
Your parent sees whether Guard is on, and this week's counts of pauses and good choices. That's all.
WHAT YOUR PARENT NEVER SEES
Never the sites you visit, what you search, any image, your feelings or prayers, or your conversations with Shepherd. A notice stays on your phone so you always know Guard is here and what it shares.
A PARENTAL TOOL, SAID PLAINLY
Android marks this app as a monitoring app, because it reports to a parent. It works only with a parent's Guard Family invite, and a teen can see exactly what is shared at any time.
Shepherd Guard uses Android's Accessibility service to see which app is in front and the address or search in the browser, on the phone only, so it can pause what the family chose. Nothing about what is paused is stored or sent.
Membership comes with the parent's Shepherd Guard Family plan. Privacy: https://faithpulse.com/guard/privacy
