Quiet focus.
Buy once.
Latch blocks distracting apps during focus sessions you start yourself. No subscription, no streaks, no gamification.

What Latch does
Three ideas, one small app.
Close the door.
Pick the apps that steal your time. Start a session. Latch shields them with a custom dark overlay until your timer ends.
Different on purpose.
No streaks to break. No gems to collect. No leaderboards. A tool you use, then close.
Private by design.
Your app selections, schedules, and focus history live only on your iPhone. No account, no servers, no tracking.
One price, forever.
Most focus apps charge you month after month. Latch doesn't.
Subscription apps
$70 – $100 per year
Streaks and gems that pressure you
Gamified daily “wins”
Cloud sync, accounts, email lists
Latch
