FocusLatch does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data. There is no backend, no user account, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDK.
Your selected Screen Time items, focus modes, lock state, session history, emergency-unlock state, and the registered Focus Key are stored locally on your iPhone and nowhere else.
Apple's Family Controls framework provides app selections as privacy-preserving opaque tokens. FocusLatch never learns the names or identities of the apps you block.
FocusLatch stores only a salted one-way hash (SHA-256) of your key's hardware identifier — never the identifier itself. The app never writes to your key; its signature is placed on the key once, before it reaches you.
Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. Screen Time authorization can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.
