Today I am launching Latch Family. My second product.

"iPad kids" is not really a joke about screen time. It is what happens when you hand a kid a device with no friction and no explanation. Just a loading spinner and then a feed built by someone whose job it was to make leaving harder.

Steve Jobs once told a journalist that his kids had never used the iPad. "We limit how much technology our kids use at home." The man who built the thing did not let his own children touch it. I think about that a lot.

Doomscrolling is the same problem for adults. You open one tab at 11pm. An hour later you feel worse and learned nothing.

I wanted to build the other side of that.

Latch blocks categories at the network level: social, gaming, short-form video, AI chat, gambling. You can also block specific apps, set weekly schedules, run focus sessions with a timer, and create separate profiles. Guardian lock sits behind a PIN, so a kid cannot spend 30 seconds undoing the setup. And when protection is on, they cannot delete the app to get around it either. Most people don't expect that.

The thing I spent the most time on is what happens when something gets blocked. Most apps show a dead page. Latch lets you write the message yourself. The kid sees whatever you actually typed. "Social is off during homework. You set this rule." "This is your sleep schedule. It lifts at 7am." I don't know if this sounds like a small detail from the outside, but it is the whole philosophy of the app. A wall doesn't explain anything. A message from a person does.

Data stays on the device. No cloud dashboard, no server logging your kid's block history. I was not going to build an app that fixes one thing by quietly doing another.

My first product taught me how long the boring parts take. App review, edge cases in features that seemed simple, the thing you cut three times and then build anyway. I still find it strange to ship something new. But this one I feel good about.

Out now on the App Store today!
