Latch is an app designed to help you regain focus by blocking distracting apps and websites for set periods. It offers features like scheduled blocking, detailed screen time insights, and a unique 'Golden Latch' for unbreakable focus sessions.
You select the apps and websites you want to block, choose a duration, and Latch prevents access until the time runs out. There's no easy bypass within the block period, encouraging you to return to Latch to end the session intentionally.
A Golden Latch is a special type of block that cannot be ended early and has no escape. You get three 'golden tickets' to use these unbreakable sessions, offering a strong commitment to focus when needed.
