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.

WealthLock puts a pause between a gambling impulse and the next bet. Choose the sportsbook, casino, gambling, or prediction-market apps and websites you want protected. When you try to open one, Apple’s Screen Time shield creates a moment to walk away. WealthLock records that decision—even when notifications are silenced—and lets you optionally add the amount you decided not to wager. PERSONALIZED OPPORTUNITY COST Estimate how much you wager in a typical year and see a hypothetical 10-, 20-, and 30-year illustration. These projections are educational examples only. WealthLock does not move, invest, or manage money, and returns are never guaranteed. FULL PROTECTION • Block the gambling apps and websites you choose • Record walk-aways and optional amounts • See app-by-app triggers and vulnerable days and times • Add an unlock cooldown • Use Time Lock to remove the instant bypass for up to 30 days • Set up Maximum Lockdown for stronger safeguards • Prepare an accountability message after a bypass • Keep unlimited walk-away history and opportunity-cost illustrations SUBSCRIPTION Full Protection requires an active subscription. Eligible new subscribers can try the annual plan free for 3 days, then pay $29.99 per year unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal. A separate lower-priced annual offer may be shown after declining the trial. Payment and renewal are managed through your Apple ID. PRIVACY No WealthLock account is required. WealthLock uses Apple’s Screen Time framework with your explicit permission. Your Screen Time activity and recovery history stay on your device; WealthLock does not collect or transmit your browsing or Screen Time history. WealthLock is a self-installed commitment tool for adults, not treatment, financial advice, parental control, or surveillance. If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling, call 1-800-GAMBLER in the United States.
