Nothing gets blocked. Your people know when to check in.

It blocks nothing, and it never will. You can move your own money whenever you want. Every blocker you have tried came off in about four minutes anyway, and one more of those helps nobody.

What it changes is who knows. You pick those people now, while things are going well, because 2am is not when anybody makes that decision well. They have to agree. After that they hear from us once a week to say all is well, and sooner if the pattern comes back.

You can remove any of them, or disconnect your bank, at any moment. Both take effect immediately and neither needs anyone's permission. Both are also reported. You keep every way out. What you give up is taking one without anyone noticing.

• You connect your bank, read-only. New Daylight never holds your bank login and cannot move a penny.
• You choose who to tell. They have to agree before they are told anything at all.
• If transfers to gambling cross a threshold, those people get one short email saying how many and over how long.
• Repeated deposits into a brokerage are counted separately, with their own threshold and their own wording. A broker transfer is not gambling, and nobody's family is going to be told it was.
• They also get a brief note each week saying all is well. It should be boring.

A single night out is not a relapse, and an alert that fires on one would be an alert everybody learns to ignore. What gets reported is repetition: several transfers inside the same short window.

The threshold is fixed in the software. There is no setting for it, no slider, and no way to raise your own. That is the first thing anyone reaches for on a bad night.

For a lot of people the money never touches a sportsbook. It goes into a trading app, five times in a week, and everything about the feeling is the same. Blockers do not see that at all, because a brokerage is not a gambling site and never appears on anybody's list.

So deposits into brokerage and trading apps are counted, on their own threshold, and reported in their own words. Your people are told there were transfers into investment accounts. They are not told it was gambling, because it might not have been, and telling somebody's family that would be a lie.

If trading was never your problem, this one has a switch and you can turn it off. Doing that is instant, and your people are told you did it. That is the only condition. The gambling side has no switch and never will.

• Amounts. Not one.
• Where the money went, or which sites.
• What you have left, or any balance.
• Any transaction that did not cross the threshold.

They see a count and a stretch of time. That is the whole disclosure.

• Approve or block anything. There is nothing here for them to enforce, and no request of yours ever waits on them.
• Stop you taking them off the list. That takes effect the moment you do it.
• Sign in. They have no account here. They receive email and nothing else, and they can stop that whenever they like without asking you.

This matters as much as the alerts do. A tool that hands somebody control over your money is a tool that can be used against you.

Remove a contact, disconnect a bank: both work immediately, and neither needs anyone's permission. Nothing here can trap you, because software that traps somebody in recovery is just another thing being done to them.

But both are also reported to the people you chose. That is the trade, and it is the whole idea. You keep every exit. What you give up is taking one in silence.

Only the accounts you connect. Open a new account somewhere else and fund it from there, and this will not know. No amount of engineering fixes that, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.

What it does instead is keep telling your people how many accounts are connected. If that number changes, it is a question they can ask.

People who have stopped, or are trying to, and who already know how the quiet part goes. If you have a sponsor, a partner, or a friend who has asked you to tell them when it gets bad, this is the thing that tells them when you cannot bring yourself to.

It is also for the person on the other end. They get one short note a week and nothing else, they are never asked to police anybody, and they can stop at any time without asking you. Being somebody's contact costs them almost nothing, which is the only reason it is fair to ask.

Nothing while it is being built. There is no card to enter and no trial to remember to cancel.
