Latch is designed to help users regain focus by blocking apps and websites that consume excessive time. It requires a physical action, such as scanning an NFC sticker or QR code, to unlock access, thereby encouraging more mindful usage.
Users can associate NFC stickers or printed QR codes with Latch as their 'key'. To unlock blocked apps, they must physically interact with the sticker (tap it) or scan the QR code, adding a deliberate step to break the cycle of mindless app usage.
Latch Pro offers advanced features like a steps key to unlock by walking, lock while driving functionality, daily time limits for apps, a commitment mode for extended focus sessions, and month/all-time usage views. These features are available via a one-time purchase.
No, Latch is ad-free. The app explicitly states it has no ads, analytics, or accounts, prioritizing user privacy and an uninterrupted experience.
Latch is private by design. It does not collect user data, have accounts, or run ads. It leverages Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to manage app blocking directly on the user's iPhone, ensuring choices and usage remain local.
Latch is available on iPhone and iPad. However, certain features like NFC stickers, the steps key, and lock while driving require an iPhone.
Yes, a single key can be shared with family or roommates. For instance, one NFC sticker placed on the fridge can serve as the unlock key for the entire household.
The 'Break glass' feature allows users to temporarily access blocked apps for 5-15 minutes without their key, up to three times a month. After the time expires, the apps automatically re-lock.
