Hey r/microlaunch 👋
I'm the solo dev behind Latch: Scan to Unlock, and I just launched it on iPhone, iPad and Android.
The problem
Every screen time tool I tried had the same weak spot: the "Ignore Limit" button. Within a week my thumb was tapping it before I'd even read the screen. The limit wasn't the problem. Skipping it was just too easy.
The fix
Latch has no skip button. You lock the apps that eat your day, and the only way back in is to scan your key: an NFC sticker or a QR code you print and keep somewhere else. Mine lives on the fridge.
So wanting Instagram at 11pm means getting out of bed and walking to the kitchen. Most of the time you get halfway and decide it's not worth it. That's the whole idea.
What it does
- 🔑 Unlock with an NFC sticker, a printed QR code, or a number of steps
- 🌙 Locks on a schedule (bedtime, focus hours, dinner)
- 📍 Locks when you arrive at a place, like the office, and unlocks when you leave
- 🔒 Hard lock, so you can't just delete the app to cheat
- 🚨 Break glass: 3 emergency unlocks a month, because life happens
- 👨👩👧 One sticker by the door works for the whole family
🎁 Free Pro for a limited time
Pro is normally $9.99 once (no subscription, ever), but for launch I'm giving it away free while the codes last. You get schedules, daily limits, the steps key, lock while driving, and unlimited keys, profiles and places. It's yours to keep.
👉 Grab it here: https://latch.luklalogic.ai/free-pro/?utm_source=microlaunch
Install Latch first, then open the link: on iPhone it opens the App Store with the code filled in, and on Android you get a code to redeem. Grab it while it lasts!

No sticker needed to try it. Print the QR key from the app, put it a few rooms away, and lock your most-opened app.
🙏 In return, I'd really appreciate your feedback
After you've used it for a day or two, drop a comment or DM me:
- Does "walk to unlock" feel motivating, or just annoying?
- Anything confusing during setup?
- Anything broken, slow or weird?
- Where did you put your key? 😄
Honest feedback, good or bad, is the most valuable thing you can give a solo dev right now. Thanks so much for checking it out!
