Key features (complete list)

1. Real-time clean counter — tracks every second gambling-free.
2. Daily promise tracker: one "just for today" promise a day, at any time, with mood, difficulty, a plan and optional notes.
3. 6-step panic button: a mirror moment that shows your streak and debt progress, 4-4-4 breathing (three cycles), a motivation card (your own words if you wrote a "Your why", otherwise a card the app writes for you), naming and rating the urge, a short lesson on how urges pass (with optional distraction games), and a drafted text you can send to someone you trust. It does not call a helpline.
4. Financial recovery dashboard: a debt payoff plan in snowball order (one urgent debt first, then the smallest balance) and a savings estimate (monthly spending / 30 x streak days). No bank link and no interest, so it is a plan and does not record real payments.
5. Milestone system: streak, promise, urge and debt milestones.
6. Anonymous peer community — moderated, no profiles, no compare-and-despair dynamic. Posting, commenting and reporting need an email, and your username is created from the part before the @.
7. Relapse flow: 4 steps that ask what happened and show what will reset. The reset is heavy: streak to 0, saved amount to $0, all promises and urges deleted, daily and behavioral milestones reset. Journal, debts and debt milestones stay.
8. Gambling app and website blocking: one switch blocks betting apps and the most popular gambling sites in your country (website blocking added in October 2026, version 1.3.0). Websites are blocked in Safari. "Your country" means your device Region: some regions have their own list, others get international brands only.
9. 30-day Recovery Path: Crisis & Stabilization (days 1 to 10), Skill Building (11 to 20), Integration (21 to 30). The next day unlocks at local midnight after you finish the previous one.
10. Urge-pattern tracking: logs each urge with time, trigger, and intensity. With 3 or more urges in 30 days, the app shows your top trigger, time of day and a tip.
11. Daily habits loop — replaces gambling time with compounding routines.
12. Personal journal with mood logging.
13. Brain games: 5 short games.
14. Leaderboard in the Milestones tab, for all onboarded users, with no opt-out.

Key differentiators

• vs. Gamban (paid blocker, £4.99 a month or £29.99 a year, checked November 2026): NoGambling.app adds a panic button, debt plan and in-app community. Gamban says it blocks tens of thousands of sites and apps, and its app also tracks gamble-free time and money saved.
• vs. BetBlocker (free non-profit blocker): NoGambling.app adds non-blocking recovery features (tracker, panic button, savings, community). NoGambling.app is paid (free to try, then monthly/yearly/lifetime); BetBlocker is fully free. You can use both.
• vs. GamStop (UK self-exclusion scheme, 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, checked November 2026): GamStop blocks online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain; NoGambling.app is a daily recovery app. You can use both.
• vs. Gambling Therapy (one-to-one sessions with a trained therapist, from Gordon Moody): NoGambling.app is software-based daily support; Gambling Therapy connects you to people. You can use both.
