## What is Latch?

You meant to check one thing. An hour later, the evening is gone.

Latch shuts the apps that take your time — on a schedule you set, at a firmness you choose — and keeps them shut until the window ends. No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your iPhone.

SET ONE UP IN A MINUTE
A window is a stretch of time: mornings, deep work, evenings, the hour before bed. Pick the apps and sites it closes, pick the days, done. It runs itself from then on.

CHOOSE HOW HARD IT HOLDS
• Soft — take a breath, say why you're opening it, get in. Trains intention.
• Latched — blocked. You hold a few keys each week, and each one buys five minutes.
• Bolted — no key, no early exit. It ends when the window ends.

YOUR OWN WORDS ON THE BLOCK SCREEN
Reach for a blocked app and you don't meet a generic wall. You meet the sentence you wrote about why you wanted the time back — and some days, a window you already kept.

WHAT YOU GET BACK, COUNTED HONESTLY
• Your real Screen Time trend, this week against last
• Hours recovered from windows you actually held — nothing estimated
• Every reach that didn't turn into a scroll
• A weekly review of the keys you spent, and the reasons you gave

BUILT TO FORGIVE
A missed window doesn't reset anything. Monthly graces absorb the bad days, because a streak that punishes one hard evening is a streak people quit. No leaderboards, no points, nobody sees it but you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No sign-in, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your windows, your history and your reason stay on your iPhone — Latch has no server to send them to.

FREE, FOREVER
• One window running at a time
• Three keys a week
• One Bolted window a week
• Your last 7 days of history

LATCH PRO
• Every window running at once
• Bolted whenever you want it
• Windows that start when you get home and pause when you travel
• Your full history and every weekly review

Latch Pro is $34.99 a year with one week free, or $4.99 a week with three days free. The app shows the price in your own currency before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions.

Latch needs Screen Time (Family Controls) permission to block anything. Website blocking works in Safari only — iOS gives no third-party app a way to reach other browsers.
