ShiftPath
Read full descriptionHide full description
ShiftPath helps you quit gambling, one clean day at a time. Built for sports bettors first. Private, direct, and there at 2am. Every day you don't bet, your control score climbs, your streak grows, and the money you would have wagered stays yours. When an urge hits, one tap opens SOS: a 90-second hold, a breathing cue, and Shift, an AI coach that knows your streak and your triggers. WHY SHIFTPATH • Control score — one number, 0 to 100, that grows with every clean day, every check-in and every urge you beat. • Streak and money kept — days clean, and the cash you kept instead of wagered, computed from the spend you tell us. • SOS in one tap — a 90-second urge timer, breathing and a "walk away" action before anything else. Urges peak and pass. • Shift, your AI coach — knows your streak, your triggers and your best day. Direct, not clinical. Available at 2am, when the sportsbook is. • The Unsent Bet — write the bet you were about to place, lock it, and watch the total you kept grow. No send button, by design. • 90-day program — one short lesson a day, CBT-informed, in plain language. Days 1–7 are free. • Progress — a heat map of clean days, your trigger pattern, peak-risk hours, best streaks and badges. • Streak shields — one missed check-in a month doesn't erase your work. A logged bet always resets. • Reminders that fit the risk — a daily check-in, plus alerts for the hours you choose: kickoff, payday, late night. • Home-screen widget with your streak and money kept. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants to stop betting — sports, casino, slots, poker, crypto — and wants a tool, not a lecture. ShiftPath is not a therapist and not a treatment program. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or 1-800-GAMBLER; both are one tap away inside the app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No feed, no community, no judgment. Your account is anonymous by default. Your streak, journal and progress sync to your own account so a new phone brings them back, and you can delete everything from Settings at any time. Coach messages are sent to a third-party AI service to generate replies — we ask for your consent before the first session, and we never store full transcripts, only a one-line summary you can see. SHIFTPATH PREMIUM Free includes the streak, control score, SOS, 10 coach sessions a day, the last 7 days of your journal and the first 7 program lessons. Premium unlocks unlimited coach sessions, the full 90-day program, your full journal with PDF export, 3 streak shields a month and proactive nudges. Plans: weekly $3.99, monthly $9.99, yearly $59.99 (7-day free trial on monthly and yearly), or lifetime $89.99 once. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Put a little space between the urge and the next bet. WealthLock helps you block the gambling, sportsbook, casino and prediction-market apps and websites you choose. Explore the app first, then set up protection when you're ready. No WealthLock account required. YOUR PROTECTION • Choose apps and sites with Apple's Screen Time controls • Add websites you want to block • Keep blocking on with a Protection lock for a duration you confirm, from one hour to 30 days, or choose the explicit permanent option • Optionally prevent deletion of all apps, including WealthLock • Add a six-digit Protection PIN for major in-app changes, with Face ID or iPhone-passcode recovery • Save a trusted email or phone contact for accountability messages you review and send yourself A paid permanent lock has no in-app unlock or scheduled end. All blocking and deletion restrictions stop when paid access expires. Deletion protection can be released separately, including during a lock, with your configured PIN. A MOMENT TO PAUSE Six free activities work offline: Breathing, Grounding, Memory, Color Match, Mental Math and Pairs. Choose different difficulties, changing color-match rules or an optional one-minute Color Match round. Grounding includes a gently moving visual anchor that respects Reduce Motion. YOUR OWN PROGRESS Start an optional self-reported gambling-free streak during setup, or choose your start date from Protection. Check in with “I walked away” when it helps; an amount or betting app is optional. Money saved totals only confirmed amounts you record. Add your usual total bets per day, week or month to see a separate estimate of betting avoided while your reported streak continues. This is not cash saved, detected betting or automatic relapse tracking. Insights shows patterns in optional check-ins, with app and site details tucked away. Your protection works independently of logging. Select individual check-ins or your full history to manage your records. FULL PROTECTION App/site blocking, saving blocked items, enabling deletion protection, Protection locks, new PIN/contact setup, streak editing, check-ins, Progress and Insights require Full Protection. Pause exercises, exploring the app, restoring purchases, PIN recovery and releasing deletion protection remain free. Annual, monthly and lifetime plans unlock the same features. Subscriptions are billed upfront and renew until canceled; lifetime is a one-time purchase. New plans have no introductory trial. Localized prices and full billing terms appear before purchase. Existing supported purchases can be restored. Active subscribers can manage their plan in Apple Settings. PRIVACY Screen Time selections and recovery records stay on your device. Limited product analytics excludes selected app and website names, amounts, contacts and recovery history. It uses app-installation identifiers and basic app/device context; no advertising or cross-app tracking. WealthLock is a voluntary commitment tool for adults, not medical treatment or financial advice. Optional financial illustrations are hypothetical. The 8% annual growth assumption has linked S&P 500 context and sources; it is not a measured historical return or a guarantee. WealthLock does not invest or transfer money.
