About Amblee: Block What Costs You
Amblee blocks the apps that drain your money until you have paid yourself first. Pick what costs you: sports betting, casino apps, prediction markets, shopping, delivery, in-app purchases, or the feeds you lose evenings to. Choose the apps to shield. Set a monthly deposit goal. The blocks stay on until that much money moves into your own savings or brokerage. Connect a bank read-only and deposits count on their own, or log a screenshot of your transfer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name the habit: sportsbooks, casino apps, prediction markets, shopping, delivery, in-app purchases, feeds. 2. Set your monthly minimum: the same money you were burning, redirected to you. 3. The apps go dark: Screen Time shields the apps you pick. 4. Show the money moved: connect a bank and settled deposits count on their own, or screenshot the transfer and log it. Clear your goal and access returns for the rest of the month. NAME THE GOAL Give the money a reason: a vacation fund, a car fund, a college fund. Say how much and by when, and Amblee works out what that is a month, counts what your bank shows you put in, and keeps it on your home screen widget beside the month. WHY IT WORKS Blockers block and hope. Amblee ties the unlock to the one thing that changes the picture: money moving into your savings or investments instead of out of them. With a connected bank, progress is net; pull the money back out and the blocks return. A hardship unlock exists for real emergencies while your subscription is active. SEE WHAT IT ACTUALLY COST Connect an account and Amblee adds up what left for the sportsbooks last month, by name. WHAT AMBLEE NEVER DOES - Never holds, moves, or invests your money. Bank access is read-only through Plaid. - Never sees your bank password. Screenshot amounts are read on your phone; the image never leaves your device. - Never sells your data or shares it with advertisers. The subscription is the entire business model. Amblee is a self-restriction tool, not therapy or treatment. If gambling is hurting you or someone you love, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org. Free, confidential, 24/7. Subscription: 7 days free, then $4.99/month or $49.99/year through your Apple account. Cancel anytime in Settings. Terms: https://amblee.co/terms
What’s new
Version 1.0.7 · Updated October 7, 2026
What's new in 1.0.7: - A simpler start: pick the habits that cost you, from shopping and food delivery to in-app buys, the feeds and betting. - Got a code from a friend or creator? A clear field says what it does, and a pasted link just works. - Sign out and back in, and you land straight back in your own account, goal and blocks. - Home and Blocks now say plainly when blocking isn't turned on yet, and how to turn it on. - Your sign-in code goes through on its own once all six digits are in. - Fixes for larger text sizes and for how your plan is shown.
