iPhone app · Quit gambling
Sports betting, online casinos, poker, scratch cards. FoldShift helps you quit with a counter that shows what you keep, an SOS mode to hold on through an urge, and a 66-day program to change the habit.
Every bet releases dopamine. The brain gets hooked on the wait above all, that short moment between the bet and the result. FoldShift replaces that thrill with stronger proof. Your balance grows every day you don't bet.
Based on the Inserm collective expert report and reviews published in Molecular Psychiatry and Current Addiction Reports.
Do the math
In the app, every day without betting adds your average stake to the money you keep. Tell us how much you used to bet each month.
Same calculation as in the app: monthly stake ÷ 30.44 × days without gambling.

Inside the app
SOS tab
An urge to gamble lasts 15 to 20 minutes on average. SOS mode helps you get through that moment, day or night.
Program
One short lesson a day, unlocked at the right time, with a concrete exercise. Ten weeks, from how gambling works to life after it.
66 days is the median time observed for a new habit to stick (Lally et al., University College London, 2009).
Home · Calendar
Every day the app asks you one simple question: did you gamble today? Days you held on turn green. If you gamble again, you log it without judgment. Your counter restarts, your green days stay and your program carries on.
Try it now
This is the SOS mode exercise. Breathe in for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds. In the app it lasts 90 seconds and is always one tap away, day or night.
Blocking · Premium
FoldShift uses Apple's Screen Time to block gambling sites across your iPhone, in Safari and in the browsers built into other apps. It also blocks the betting apps you choose.
No switching it off on a whim
To turn protection off, the app makes you wait 15 minutes and type a sentence letter by letter, with copy-paste disabled.
“I choose to protect my money and wait 15 minutes”
FoldShift never sees the sites you visit: the check happens on Apple's side. Blocking is a strong aid, not an absolute guarantee.
Rewards
From day one to one year, every milestone unlocks an object rarer than the last. Set yourself a reward for each one, and share your milestone if you feel like it.
