Silex blocks gambling across your whole iPhone, walks you through 90 days one at a time, and counts the money you didn't lose. No accounts. No ads. No profile of you. Ever. FIVE LAYERS OF BLOCKING One blocker is one tap away from being switched off. Silex sets up five, together: • Silex Shield — a system-wide DNS filter that covers every app and every browser, not just Safari • A Safari content blocker built on a bundled list of 294,000+ gambling domains, refreshed automatically • Guided operator self-exclusion — the strongest layer there is, because you cannot undo it on impulse • Guided setup for a bank gambling block, so your card declines the transaction • Killing the promos: every marketing email and push that pulls you back A REAL 90-DAY PROGRAM 90 authored days in three phases — See the Machine, Rewire, Fortify. Built from clinical CBT workbooks and the research on how gambling products are engineered to hook you. Five minutes a day, one lesson at a time, not a library to binge. The program adapts to how you actually gamble, using your answers to a standard intake screener. AN SOS FOR THE WORST MINUTE One button, always on screen. Rate the urge, breathe it down, then ride it out on a timer while Silex shows you your own reasons for quitting and the money you have kept so far. An urge is a wave. It rises, crests, and always falls. You only have to outlast this one. THE MONEY, MADE VISIBLE Silex takes what you were putting in each week and counts up what you kept instead — pointed at something you actually want. It is the number that keeps people going when motivation runs out. IT NEVER PUNISHES YOU FOR SLIPPING An app that wipes your progress the moment you lapse teaches you to hide the lapse. Silex does the opposite. A slip triggers a Reset day — a specific lesson about what happened and what to change. Your history is never erased, and milestones you have earned are never taken back. COMMON QUESTIONS Does it block gambling apps, or only sites? Sites — across every app and browser, not just Safari. Apps and payments are covered by the self-exclusion and bank-block layers instead. Can I just delete it when an urge hits? You can delete any iOS app, and Silex says so rather than pretending otherwise. That is why it walks you through the two layers you cannot undo on impulse. Is there anything playable inside? No reels, no random rewards, no mystery boxes. Every milestone is earned by what you did, never by chance. PRIVATE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO IDENTIFY YOU BY No account, no email, no password, no ad network, nothing that follows you between apps. What you write stays on your phone, with an optional private iCloud backup only you can read. The one thing Silex sends is an anonymous count of which setup steps get finished, so what trips people up can be fixed. One switch in Settings turns it off. Discreet mode keeps every notification neutral on your lock screen, so nothing on your phone says what this app is for. WHAT IT COSTS Silex is a subscription, and there is no free tier. The yearly plan opens with a 7-day free trial; the weekly plan starts right away. Cancel anytime from your Apple account. Crisis helplines are the exception — one tap away on the subscribe screen, free, whether or not you ever pay. — Silex helps you build healthier habits around gambling. It is not medical care and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. If you're struggling, the helplines in the app connect you to real people who can help — free.
