Show HN: Pawl – iOS gambling blocker you unlock with a physical Security Key

A developer has created an iOS gambling blocker called Pawl that utilizes a physical Security Key to unlock. The key is used to make unblocking apps more difficult by requiring the user to physically access the key, which can be stored out of reach or given to a friend. The developer's goal was to create software that leverages hardware security keys for high-stakes situations where verification is crucial. The use of a hardware key adds an extra layer of friction to the unblocking process, making it more deliberate. This approach is intended to help users who may not be fully committed to unblocking certain apps, such as those related to gambling. The developer started the project with the idea of using hardware security keys in situations where proving one's identity is important.
