Walk away from the table and make it stick. Fold'em locks gambling apps and sites for a term you choose, with someone you trust holding the key.
Fold'em helps you quit gambling by making the decision once — and making it stick.
Choose a term (1, 3, 6, or 12 months), pick the gambling apps and sites to block, sign your pledge, and lock. From that moment, Apple's Screen Time technology enforces the block. No willpower required at 1 AM.
THE LOCK KEEPS ITS WORD
• Blocking stays on until your term ends — there is no quick undo
• Invite an accountability partner who holds the key: ending early requires their approval plus a 72-hour cool-down
• Going solo? Early exit takes a 90-day cool-down
• If protection is switched off on the device, your partner is alerted
WHAT GETS BLOCKED
• The gambling apps and categories you choose
• Gambling websites in Safari
• The app resists deletion while locked
STAY ON TRACK
• See days locked and money kept
• SOS button for craving moments: a breathing exercise, an urge timer, and the National Problem Gambling Helpline
• Log the win when an urge passes
HONEST BY DESIGN
Fold'em is a commitment device, not a cage. No blocker is absolute — but breaking this one has a social cost: someone you trust finds out. That's the point.
Subscription required (monthly or yearly, billed through your Apple ID). One rule above all: the lock outlives the subscription. If payment lapses mid-term, blocking continues until your term ends. You paid for the lock; the lock keeps its word.
If gambling is harming you, you're not alone. Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 — free, confidential, 24/7.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fold'em 1.1 is a calmer, more trustworthy release, rebuilt around the people who help you hold the line.
A Wallet pass for your keyholder
Invite someone you trust to hold your key. They get an Apple Wallet pass that shows your status at a glance, and any early exit request reaches them right there to approve or decline.
Quiet, honest updates
Your keyholder gets a gentle heads up during a rough stretch, never the details of what or where. You decide which updates they receive.
Commitment that fits you
Choose 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Pick the length that matches the line you want to hold.
A pause that tells the truth
If a payment lapses or Screen Time is switched off, your earned progress freezes exactly where it was instead of showing numbers you did not earn. When protection returns, it resumes from that same point. No fake streaks.
A warmer redesign
A quieter, more premium feel throughout, so the app reads like a steady hand rather than a settings page.
Thank you for folding with us.
