ShiftPath

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.
