Amblee: Block What Costs You

Amblee blocks the apps that drain your money until you have paid yourself first. Pick what costs you: sports betting, casino apps, prediction markets, shopping, delivery, in-app purchases, or the feeds you lose evenings to. Choose the apps to shield. Set a monthly deposit goal. The blocks stay on until that much money moves into your own savings or brokerage. Blocks other than gambling can open after 24 hours without a sync, for example after a lapse. Connect a bank read-only and deposits count on their own, or log a screenshot of your transfer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name the habit: sportsbooks, casino apps, prediction markets, shopping, delivery, in-app purchases, feeds. 2. Set your monthly minimum: the same money you were burning, redirected to you. 3. The apps go dark: Screen Time shields the apps you pick. 4. Show the money moved: connect a bank and settled deposits count on their own, or screenshot the transfer and log it. Clear your goal and the apps open again. NAME THE GOAL Give the money a reason: a vacation fund, a car fund, a college fund. Say how much and by when, and Amblee works out what that is a month, counts what your bank shows you put in, and keeps it on your home screen widget beside the month. WHY IT WORKS Blockers block and hope. Amblee ties the unlock to the one thing that changes the picture: money moving into your savings or investments instead of out of them. With a connected bank, progress is net; pull the money back out and the blocks return. A hardship unlock exists for real emergencies, even after your subscription lapses. SEE WHAT IT ACTUALLY COST Connect an account and Amblee adds up what left for the sportsbooks in recent months, by name. WHAT AMBLEE NEVER DOES - Never holds, moves, or invests your money. Bank access is read-only through Plaid. - Never sees your bank password. Screenshot amounts are read on your phone; the image never leaves your device. - Never sells your data. Nothing about you goes to an advertiser from the iPhone app unless you turn on Ad measurement with Meta, and then only reports that carry no name, contact details, account ID or device identifier. The subscription is the entire business model. Amblee is a self-restriction tool, not therapy or treatment. If gambling is hurting you or someone you love, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org. Free, confidential, 24/7. Subscription: 7 days free, then $4.99/month or $49.99/year through your Apple account. Cancel anytime in Settings. Terms: https://amblee.co/terms
