My Apple DevicesOS-Level Shield

No app-pickingmaze.

Untilt blocks at the device DNS layer. Start with iPhone. Add Mac next. One lock controls the wall.

Device paths

This iPhone

V1

Built first.

One Apple approval. Untilt filters gambling DNS below Safari, Chrome, and normal app traffic on this iPhone.

Fastest path to the wall.

Add Mac

Next

Same wall. Bigger screen.

The Mac version should be a macOS Network Extension / System Extension DNS shield. Not a browser extension.

One OS approval. Then locks sync from Untilt.

App Seal

Later

Optional friction layer.

Screen Time-style app shielding can help, but Apple makes users pick apps manually. It is not the core flow.

Useful later. Bad first-run funnel.

The motion

Set up once. Kill access in one tap.

  1. 01Install Shield once.
  2. 02Pick duration.
  3. 03Kill access.
Why not Screen Time first?

Manual app selection kills the magic.

Apple privacy rules mean Screen Time-style app shielding uses Apple's picker. Users scroll, search, and select apps themselves. Untilt v1 avoids that maze: default to all gambling domains, keep the blocklist on our side, and let the user hit one button.
