Blocking

Fold’em asks Apple's Screen Time to shield the apps you picked, so tapping one draws a block screen over it instead of opening it.

Fold’em blocks gambling sites with a DNS profile you install once in iOS Settings.

• Site blocking is a DNS profile, not a VPN
• Setting it up
• What the app can and cannot do to the profile
• What this does not do

Yes.

• One profile, every browser
• Reading it for yourself
• What a blocked site looks like, in any browser
• What this does not do

It blocks every app the App Store files under Games on this phone, including ones installed later, so a casino or slot app you never picked cannot get past the apps you did.

• Why the sheet asks for Games, and only Games
• Selecting it, and starting the wait
• A release your phone times for itself

Apps and sites are added on the Lock tab, each from its own layer.

The block screen is what iOS draws over a blocked app instead of opening it.

There are two site lists in Fold’em. Site blocking's own list, 356,500 known gambling domains held on Fold’em’s servers and answered by its resolver, reaches every browser on this phone. The second list is yours: websites you pick with Add a site on the Sites layer once at least one app is blocked, which Screen Time blocks while protection holds. The operators with a page of their own say which of their domains were answered, measured against the live resolver rather than asserted.

Fold’em holds one iPhone, and everything outside that phone is outside Fold’em: another device, a computer, a betting shop, cash.

• The four edges
• What Fold’em does instead
• Layers, not one wall
• What this does not do

Lock is the second tab, and it holds your protection in one place.

• The pill and Your protection
• What the page carries
• What the other layers open
• Lockdown, and the passcode

Lockdown is extra protection for the times you need more distance from gambling, for a length you choose from 30 minutes to 7 days, or on a weekly schedule.
