Latchio
Speak English to unlock apps
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your distracting apps stay locked until you finish a quick English speaking drill. Turn screen time into speaking time and get fluent, no extra effort needed.
Latchio turns your screen time into speaking time.
Every time you reach for a distracting app, Latchio asks you to say one English line out loud first. Finish a quick speaking drill, bank the time you earn, and your apps unlock. The habit that used to waste your day starts making you fluent.
WHY LATCHIO IS DIFFERENT
Most English apps quietly lose to the apps already on your phone. Latchio doesn't compete with them. It stands in front of them. You can still open Instagram, YouTube, or your favorite game, but only after you've spoken some English. Your screen time finally pays you back.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps that steal your focus.
2. When you open one, Latchio shows a short speaking practice instead.
3. Say the line out loud and get instant pronunciation feedback.
4. Earn unlock minutes, then spend them to open the app, or keep practicing to bank more.
