[Mod Approved – One-Time Post]
This resource will be added to the community Recovery Resources List.

I’ve built BetBarrier.app, an iPhone DNS-based gambling blocker designed to support people in recovery through friction(barriers), transparency, and accountability.

BetBarrier.app blocks gambling access at the DNS level, meaning it works across all apps and browsers, not just Safari.

Key features:

• Blocks 210,000+ gambling sites system-wide
• Optional accountability partner who is notified if protection is disabled
• Daily check-ins to help track recovery streaks
• Core DNS blocking is completely free (no subscription required)

Accountability & notifications

For users who want an extra layer of accountability, BetBarrier can pair with an independent accountability/monitoring app called Config Pulse, available on the App Store.

Config Pulse is a general-purpose accountability and system-state notification app. When used together with BetBarrier, it allows an accountability partner to be notified if protection is removed.

Looking for volunteer testers

Ideal testers:

• Someone in recovery with a willing sponsor or accountability partner
• Someone in recovery who wants to test solo (no sponsor required)

Also helpful:

• Anyone willing to help test the blocklist (report missing gambling sites or false positives)
• Anyone willing to test the app and provide feedback or suggestions

Important disclaimer

This app takes accountability seriously.
If you choose to enable the sponsor/accountability feature, your partner will be notified if you disable protection. Please only use this feature if you are genuinely ready for that level of accountability.

For testers

• Promo code BETATESTER gives 3 months of premium free
• Websites:

I can’t pay testers, but anyone who helps will receive free ongoing access if they wish to keep using the app.

Happy to answer any questions.
