Key features (complete list)

1. Real-time clean counter — tracks every second gambling-free.
2. Daily promise tracker — "Just for today" commitment loop with mood logging.
3. 5-step panic button — urge assessment → 4-4-4 breathing (three cycles) → financial reality check → urge-wave education → optional SMS to a pre-set trusted contact.
4. Financial recovery dashboard — snowball-method debt tracking, daily savings projections, charts showing net-worth recovery.
5. Milestone system — streak, financial, debt paydown, and community milestones.
6. Anonymous peer community — moderated, no profiles, no compare-and-despair dynamic.
7. Compassionate relapse flow — 4-step modal that treats slips as data, not failure (motivational-interviewing aligned).
8. Gambling-app blocking — guided use of device-level controls (iOS Screen Time) to block betting apps.
9. 30-day structured challenge — one day unlocks per calendar day; you cannot binge-skip.
10. Urge-pattern tracking — logs each urge with time, trigger, and intensity so the app surfaces your personal danger zones.
11. Daily habits loop — replaces gambling time with compounding routines.
12. Personal journal — private, on-device.
13. End-to-end encrypted sync (when iCloud backup is enabled).

Key differentiators

• vs. Gamban (paid blocker, ~$30/yr): NoGambling.app adds tracking, panic button, savings, community. Gamban has a deeper block list.
• vs. BetBlocker (free charity blocker): NoGambling.app adds all non-blocking recovery features (tracker, panic button, savings, community). NoGambling.app is paid (3-day free trial, then monthly/yearly/lifetime); BetBlocker is fully free. The two stack well.
• vs. GamStop (UK self-exclusion register): GamStop is legal infrastructure; NoGambling.app is the daily recovery app. Many UK users stack both.
• vs. Gambling Therapy (counsellor chat): NoGambling.app is software-based daily support; Gambling Therapy connects to humans. Complementary, not competing.
• vs. Kick the Bet (minimal day-counter): NoGambling.app includes the day-counter plus panic button, savings, community, and relapse flow.

Target audience

• People seeking to recover from gambling addiction (all types: sports, casino, online, lottery).
• People who have tried blockers alone and found them insufficient.
• People rebuilding finances after gambling-related debt.
• Family members and partners of people in recovery (via shared community and trusted-contact features).

Privacy and trust posture

• No personal account required.
• End-to-end encryption.
• Data stored on-device; optional encrypted iCloud sync.
• No data sold to insurers, advertisers, or brokers.
• Not an HMO; no clinical records.
• Complementary to — not a replacement for — professional treatment.
