## What is Gambling Guardian?

Stop gambling with more than a streak. Build a protection system for the moments when betting, casino, slots, or gambling urges feel hardest - privately, without an account, and without shame if you slip.

Gambling Guardian combines fast urge support, visible recovery progress, money-reclaimed estimates, and optional Guardian Plan protection. It is built for people who want to quit gambling or sports betting and make their next risky moment harder to act on.

HELP WHEN AN URGE HITS

Guardian Rescue gives you a calm, guided pause with breathing or urge surfing, your reason for quitting, a delay you choose, a healthy replacement action, and an optional call to your support person. You can pause, skip, or leave at any time.

Guardian Mode lets you start a 10-minute to 3-hour protection window, move away from the gambling context, add friction, choose what you will do instead, and check in when the window ends.

SEE THE PROGRESS YOU ARE BUILDING

- Current and longest gambling-free streaks
- Lifetime gambling-free days, preserved after a setback
- Estimated money protected, plus clearly labeled projections
- Quick mood and urge check-ins
- Optional daily missions and meaningful milestones
- A recovery calendar and on-device pattern insights
- Comeback Mode that closes a streak without erasing your history

MAKE THE MONEY FEEL REAL

Turn estimated gambling cost avoided into progress toward emergency savings, debt repayment, family plans, or a personal goal. Figures are estimates, not a bank balance or guaranteed savings.

GUARDIAN PLAN - OPTIONAL EXTRA PROTECTION

Guardian Plan is available monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. It adds Guardian Lockdown, which brings your protection tools together:

- Safari gambling-site blocking after the extension is enabled
- Recurring protection windows for known high-risk times
- Payday protection reminders and windows
- Risk Autopilot suggestions based only on patterns stored on your device
- Trusted Guardian PIN controls with a 72-hour cooling-off period
- User-confirmed bank gambling blocks and self-exclusion barriers
- Multiple savings goals, debt-recovery planning, advanced insights, weekly reports, extended calendar history, progress sharing, and app lock

Safari blocking adds meaningful distance, but it does not block gambling apps, other browsers, or every site. Risk Autopilot suggests protection windows; it does not predict relapse or control your device. Bank blocks and self-exclusion remain services you activate with their providers.

CORE HELP STAYS FREE

Your current streak, lifetime history, estimated money protected total, quick check-ins, Guardian Rescue, Guardian Mode, reset and Comeback Mode, reminders, data export, Delete All Data, and professional or emergency support links remain free. Losing Guardian Plan never deletes your history.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Gambling Guardian is local-first and account-free. Recovery entries, urges, reflections, plans, and Trusted Guardian settings stay on your device. There is no recovery-data backend, advertising SDK, or behavioral tracking. Apple and RevenueCat process anonymous purchase and entitlement information; they do not receive your recovery data.

IMPORTANT

Gambling Guardian is a self-help tracking and support tool. It does not provide medical treatment, diagnosis, crisis intervention, or a guarantee that you will not gamble. It is not a substitute for professional care. Contact qualified support when you need it and local emergency services if you are in immediate danger.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

Thank you to everyone who installed Gambling Guardian in its first days. This is a small update.

A DIFFERENT REMINDER EACH DAY
Your daily reminder used to send the same words every day, forever. It now rotates through eight different messages and never repeats two days running, so it stays worth reading. Tapping it still opens your check-in, exactly as before.

If you were still getting an old reminder that said "Protect this moment," that is fixed too. The app now rewrites the reminder each time you open it, so a change in wording actually reaches you.

LARGE TEXT SIZES
On two screens a button could be pushed off the edge of the display when iPhone text size is turned up, including the way back out of Guardian Lockdown if you are not on Guardian Plan. Both screens now scroll properly at every text size.

YOUR DATA IS UNTOUCHED
Streaks, lifetime gambling-free days, check-ins, savings figures, and settings all carry over. Everything still stays on your device, with no account and nothing about your recovery leaving your iPhone.

If something is not working, or there is something you wish the app did, there is a contact link in Settings. Every message is read.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-10

No release notes.
