Take a break from gambling with a timed self‑exclusion you can’t pause or shorten. Once you start an exclusion, access to gambling sites, betting apps, and related services is blocked until the timer ends. How it works: - Uses iOS’s native Network Extension API (Packet Tunnel Provider) to enforce device‑wide blocking locally on your device. All network filtering happens directly on-device; none of your web traffic is routed to external servers. - Starts immediately after you select a duration and confirm, and stays active until the timer expires. Key Controls: - You cannot pause, restart, disable, or shorten an active self-exclusion. To end the block, you must wait for the selected timer to expire. - Exact on-device timing is used to ensure the exclusion ends precisely when you chose. Privacy First: - Zero data tracking: No browsing history or web traffic is sent to external servers or third parties. - The app operates entirely locally on your phone and does not require access to your location, camera, photos, or contacts. Notes and limitations: - Blocking focuses on gambling domains from a locally maintained blocklist. While the blocklist is regularly updated, new gambling sites appear frequently, and block coverage may vary. - Only one active Packet Tunnel VPN configuration can run at a time on iOS. - This tool is designed to support healthier habits but cannot guarantee every single source is blocked. For maximum efficacy, consider combining GamblePause with your iOS built-in Screen Time restriction features.
