Pick the hours. Latch keeps the apps shut.
Choose the apps that pull you in and the times you want them gone: evenings, nights, the first hour of the day. Latch blocks them for those hours, even when it isn't open.
For iPhone. Everything stays on your device, and there's no account to make.

Latched keeps the apps closed. A key opens them for 5 minutes of use, and you get 3 a week.
A window, start to finish
A window is a stretch of time when your chosen apps stay closed. You set it up once and it repeats.
-
Choose what to block
Apps, whole categories or websites, from Apple's own picker. Latch gets a private token for each one, not a list of what you picked. Websites are blocked in Safari.
-
Set the days and hours
Give each day its own hours if your weekend isn't your week. Build as many windows as you like.
-
It holds on its own
When a window opens, iOS keeps those apps shut until it closes. Try one anyway and you see the sentence you wrote about why.
-
Keep it, and it counts
Every window you hold adds to your streak and to the time you got back, which you can see in Insights.
Ways out, on purpose
Nobody gets trapped. Leaving early just takes a decision instead of a reflex.
- Keys
- You get 3 keys a week. Spend one on a Latched window and its apps open for 5 minutes of use, then close again.
- Emergency unlock
- Ends any window early, Bolted included. It uses one of 2 monthly graces, so a hard day doesn't cost you your streak.
- Taper
- An optional 8-week wind-down that shortens your windows by about 12% a week. Miss a window and it waits for you instead of starting over.
What you do stays on your phone
Latch has no server. There's nowhere for your data to go.
Read the privacy policy- No account and no sign-in.
- No analytics, ads or tracking of any kind.
- Apple's Screen Time keeps your app usage on your iPhone. Latch works with private tokens and never sees which apps you use.
- Your sentence, your photo, your windows and your history are stored only on your device.
