Already using the ScreenKin or Best Accountability Mac app? You don't need this guide. Those apps have a built in updater and keep themselves up to date automatically.

The Truple app is continuing its evolution into two separate apps:

• ScreenKin - App designed for parents to help monitor their children
• Best Accountability - App designed for individuals needing help overcoming porn and other detrimental online habits

The Truple MacOS app has been sunset--meaning it will no longer receive any updates. To keep getting updates, uninstall the Truple app and install either ScreenKin or Best Accountability by following the steps below. Your existing account, subscription, and reports stay exactly the same — both apps work with your current Truple login.

Why switch?

The new apps were rebuilt from the ground up, and they're a significant upgrade over the Truple Mac app:

1. Better stability — far fewer crashes and hangs
2. Better performance, especially on Apple silicon Macs (M1 and newer)
3. Future features, upgrades, and bug fixes — all ongoing development happens in these apps, and the built in updater delivers it automatically
4. A more helpful built in user interface that makes it easy to see what's happening on the device

Before you start: check your MacOS version

The new apps require MacOS 15.6 (Sequoia) or newer. To check your version, click the Apple menu in the top left hand corner of the screen, then select About This Mac.

If your Mac is running an older version of MacOS, don't uninstall the Truple app yet. Either update MacOS to 15.6 or newer first (System Settings > General > Software Update), or, if your Mac can't be updated that far, see Continuing to use the Truple MacOS app below.

Step 1: Uninstall the Truple app

First, uninstall the Truple app if you haven't already.

1. On the Mac you're updating, find the Truple icon in the notification bar located near the clock in the top right hand corner of the screen.
2. Click on the icon, then select Uninstall.
3. Confirm to uninstall.
4. Grant the requested permissions so Truple can remove itself.

Note: uninstalling will trigger a tamper alert and remove the device from your account. Once you install the new app a new device will appear on your report.

Step 2: Install ScreenKin or Best Accountability

Pick the app that best matches how you'll use it. Both capture the same screenshots and report to the same account — the difference is the name, the icon, and wording tailored to your situation.

ScreenKin - For Parents & Families

Help your kids develop healthy digital habits with parental monitoring and accountability.

Follow the ScreenKin setup guide.

Best Accountability - For Individuals

Build personal accountability and overcome detrimental online habits (like viewing pornography).

Follow the Best Accountability setup guide.

Continuing to use the Truple MacOS app

You may continue to use the Truple MacOS app for the time being if you choose. However, it will no longer receive any updates. If a MacOS update causes it to no longer function, it won't be fixed.

If your Mac can't run MacOS 15.6 or newer, the Truple MacOS app is the one to keep using. There's nothing you need to reinstall — just make sure app updates are disabled:

1. Find the Truple icon in the notification bar located near the clock in the top right hand corner of the screen.
2. right click (or control + click) on the icon, then select Advanced Settings.
3. Select Toggle updates to disable them.

If you ever need to reinstall the Truple MacOS app, the download links for older versions of MacOS are in the Setup Guide for older versions of MacOS.
