This article will show how to change a Mac® computer's name with the newest Mac operating system, macOS® Ventura 13. If you have an older macOS®, refer to Apple's support article.

Covenant Eyes lists your device in your email report or the Victory app by its manufacturer name or model (e.g., Macbook Pro). You can name your device (e.g., John’s Macbook Pro) so it’s easier to identify:

  1. Login to the Mac® Administrator profile on your Mac®.

  2. Select the apple icon from the top left-hand corner and select “System Settings.”
