apps that make you face a real person before you order — until now.

Your wallet is on life support. Your fridge is full. The body you want doesn't order DoorDash at 11pm.

How it works

One gate. No way around it.

Every time you open a delivery app, Kurb intercepts. The only way in is to confess — to a real person who knows you.

01
Pick your person.

When you set Kurb up, you choose an accountability buddy — a friend, your mom, your ex. Someone whose opinion actually stings. They're the wall between you and another 11pm order.

Pick one contact. No address book uploaded.
They get a heads-up that they're your buddy.
Change them any time — but not mid-craving.
02
Confess to unlock.

Crave DoorDash? Kurb writes a brutally honest confession and you text it to your buddy. Then you screenshot the thread so Kurb can verify it actually went to them. No confession, no delivery.

"I have zero self-control and I'm about to order DoorDash. Tell me I'm better than this."
Proof required Screenshot the sent text. Kurb checks it really went to your buddy — or the apps stay locked.
Why a confession

Willpower fails. Embarrassment doesn't.

A timer you can wait out. A puzzle you can solve. But texting a real person that you're about to cave? That's the friction that actually stops you mid-craving.

It's a real human
Not an AI you can argue with. Not a paywall you can ignore. Someone who'll remember.
It's proof, not a tap
Kurb checks the screenshot really went to your buddy. You can't fake your way past it in two seconds.
It's blunt on purpose
The message is written to sting. The cringe of sending it is the whole point — and usually enough to close the app.

FAQ

The objections you're about to type.

Does it actually block the apps, or is it just a reminder?
It uses Apple's Family Controls — the same OS-level system parents use for kids' screen time. The apps physically don't open. No reminder, no nag screen. A shield. You decide which apps during setup.
Do I really have to text someone to order food?
To unlock a blocked app, yes. Kurb writes the confession for you and you send it to the buddy you picked, then screenshot it as proof. That's the whole mechanic — the embarrassment is what stops the order. Most cravings die before you hit send.
Can I just send the confession to myself?
Kurb checks the screenshot to confirm it actually went to your buddy and that you didn't gut the message. iOS won't let any app fully lock who you text, so it's not bulletproof — but you have to consciously cheat, and that moment of "am I really doing this?" is usually enough.
Does my buddy have to do anything?
Nope. They just have to be willing to receive your confessions. When you add them, they get a one-time heads-up text so it isn't a surprise. Pick someone whose opinion you actually care about.
Can I just delete Kurb and order anyway?
Sure. You can also throw your phone in a lake. The point isn't to make it impossible — it's to make it inconvenient and embarrassing enough that most impulse orders die on the way. The rest? You earn them.
What apps does it block?
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, and Uber's food tab. More coming based on user requests.
Android?
Not yet. iOS first because Family Controls gives us OS-level blocking that no Android API matches. Android is on the list once the core mechanic is proven.
Why $39.99/year and not monthly?
Habit change takes longer than a month. Monthly plans encourage you to quit when it gets hard — which is exactly when it's working. One year. Commit. The math pays for itself in two saved orders.

Bro.
Put the phone down.

Or text your mom that you're caving again. Your call. The wallet's already on life support.
