Sunlatch

Focus launcher for Android

Your phone opens to your life first.

Sunlatch replaces your home screen. A few small essentials come first. Fun apps wait behind a gentle latch until they’re done. Extra effort banks guilt-free minutes.

Beta opens soonAndroid 10 and up. Free during the beta.

How it works

Firm, but kind.

Gate screen: Instagram opens after breakfast. Breakfast is due by 9:00.

Small things first

Pick a few tiny essentials, like a ten-minute walk your phone or watch checks for you, or a real breakfast. Fun apps wait until the ones due so far are done. The gate always says why.

Celebration screen: Breakfast done. The latch is up. Enjoy it.

The latch lifts

Check it off and the latch swings up. Extra habits bank minutes you can spend in fun apps, guilt-free.

Add a rule screen: No TikTok or Reddit before 10 on weekdays.

Rules in plain words

Type “No TikTok before 10 on weekdays.” Sunlatch shows exactly what that means before you save it.

Honest friction, not a jail

Every rule and every way out, in plain sight.

Nothing fake

Sunlatch never pretends to block what it can't. Notification taps open apps normally; the time is counted afterward.

Rest days are free

Three a month, always the first option on the gate. Never behind a paywall.

Tightening is instant. Loosening waits a day.

Add a rule right away. Remove one and it takes 24 hours, with a cancel button the whole time.

Leaving is one tap

Switching back to your old home screen is never delayed. Not by an hour, not by a minute.

Privacy

How you use your phone stays on your phone.

App usage, minutes and health data never leave the device. A few smart features send short text, like a rule you type or your app names, to an AI model. Nothing else, and every feature still works offline.

Try it for 30 days.

We’re looking for a small group of Android testers through Google Play’s closed test. If it isn’t for you, switching back takes one tap.
