Consent-first accountability

Transparent app accountability for missionaries.

Open Lantern helps mission leaders support their members with a tool built on consent, not surveillance — it shows which apps are used and for how long, and nothing more.

Monitoring is always visible to the person carrying the phone.

How it works

Three steps, fully in the open.

No hidden installs and no surprises. Every member knows exactly what is shared before anything begins.

Step 1

The leader sends a link

A mission leader creates an enrollment invite from the admin portal and shares it with the member.

Step 2

The member signs consent

They install the app, read exactly what is and isn't collected, and sign the agreement on their own phone.

Step 3

The leader sees app usage

The dashboard shows which apps are installed and how long each is used. Nothing more is ever revealed.

The promise at the center of it

Open Lantern sees two things. Never more.

This is the whole point of the tool. The line below is fixed by design — not a setting a leader can change.

Open Lantern reports

  • The names of installed apps
  • Daily usage minutes per app
  • Whether the app is active and reporting

Open Lantern never collects

  • Messages, emails, or call logs
  • Location or GPS
  • Photos, videos, or files
  • Browsing or search history
  • Keystrokes or screen content

For missionaries

Got an enrollment link?

If your mission leader sent you a link, here's what you're agreeing to — in plain terms. Your participation is by consent, and you can ask your leader anything before you sign.

You'll see the full list of what's shared before you agree to anything.
Nothing is monitored until you read and sign the agreement yourself.
A notification stays on your phone so it's always clear when it's active.
You can withdraw your consent at any time from within the app.
