Nolapse

Nolapse is built on JITAI β just-in-time adaptive interventions. A system that acts at the exact moment an impulse occurs. Not before. Not after. Nolapse doesn't tell you what to do. It introduces friction between impulse and action. When you feel the urge to gamble, you open the app and pass through the filter. You hold your fingers on the screen for 12 seconds. The system evaluates the attempt and returns a decision: blocked, delayed, conditioned, or unrestricted. No motivational messages. No confetti streaks. A mechanism that interrupts the automatism β and logs the impact in money not spent and impulses interrupted. What the app does: β 12-second filter with probabilistic decision engine β Risk windows configurable by day and time β Automatic cooldown after a block β Impulse counter and estimated savings tracker β Notifications at your highest-risk moments Pro: β Crisis mode: manual 24-hour hard block β Advanced dashboard with trends and projections β Full impulse history log β Adaptive filter with custom rules β Monthly PDF report The goal is not total abstinence. Nolapse doesn't stop you from gambling, and it doesn't tell you how to live. It intervenes at the moment of impulse so the decision is yours β conscious, not automatic. Anonymous profile. Local data. No account required. Pro subscription renews automatically. Cancel anytime in App Store settings. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
