## What is Stifle?

Stifle helps you block the betting app you keep deleting and reopening.

Start with one free iPhone app block. Pick the sportsbook, prediction market, fantasy, pick'em, or casino app you reach for first, then make the block part of your daily promise.

The hard part is not always deleting the app. It is what happens later: the urge comes back, the App Store is still there, and another app starts to feel like a loophole.

Stifle is built for that moment.

Use Stifle to:
- Block one chosen betting app free
- Name the app you usually redownload
- Notice the app you are most likely to switch to next
- Keep a simple daily promise visible
- Use Full Protection to close the switch loophole

Full Protection is for the substitute-app problem: when blocking one app is not enough because the urge looks for another sportsbook, prediction market, fantasy, pick'em, or casino app.

Stifle is not therapy, crisis care, financial advice, or a guaranteed recovery solution. It is a practical iPhone friction tool for people who want more space between a betting urge and the next app open.
