About Latch: App Blocker

Some apps you open on purpose. Others just open themselves — you reach for them before you even decide to. Latch is for the second kind. Pick the apps that pull you in, lock them for a window you set in advance, and Latch holds the line — even when you're tempted to peek. It isn't a timer you can dismiss; it's a commitment you make to yourself, on purpose, and keep. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your apps. Choose the ones you open without thinking. Latch works through your iPhone's own Screen Time controls — it never sees which apps you picked. 2. Set the lock. Once, on a weekly schedule, a date range, or specific days each month. Your call, made with a clear head. 3. Add friction to change your mind. Opening early means waiting it out, or slowly typing a passage by hand — no paste, no shortcuts. Just enough of a pause to choose on purpose. WHY LATCH Most urges are loud, then gone in a few minutes. A soft timer you can skip doesn't help in that moment. Latch is built to hold — short of the deliberate exits you set up yourself — so the decision you made calmly is the one that stands. - Four lock types — once, weekly, date range, or monthly. - Your choice of exit — wait it out, type a passage, both, or no early exit at all (Locked mode). - Paste-blocked typing test — real typing, not a clipboard shortcut. - A calm shield, never a lecture — just a reminder of your own decision. - Private by design — no account, no login. The apps you lock never leave your device. FREE & PRO Your first latch is free. Latch Pro unlocks unlimited latches, every lock type, Locked mode, and a customizable shield. - Latch Pro Monthly — $3.99/month - Latch Pro Yearly — $24.99/year Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage anytime in your App Store account. Prices may vary by region. Terms of Use: https://latch-aqq.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://latch-aqq.pages.dev/privacy PRIVACY Latch has no account and no server-side profile of you. The apps you choose to lock stay on your device. The only data collected is anonymous, aggregate analytics — none of it linked to your identity.
