Features

Built for studio self-serve access

Phone unlock — no app download

Members visit your studio's unlock page in their phone browser and tap Unlock. Safari, Chrome, whatever they already use. No app store, no installation, no updates.

Membership payments built-in

Collect monthly membership fees via Stripe. Members pay online when they sign up and automatically each month after. No in-person payments, no invoicing.

Access tied to payment

When a member's payment goes through, they can unlock the door. When it fails or they cancel, access is revoked automatically. No manual management.

Member management dashboard

See who's active, who's lapsed, and who's unlocked recently. Invite new members with a link. No spreadsheets.

Use cases

How yoga studios use Latch

Early morning self-practice

Let members access your studio for 6am self-practice sessions without you needing to unlock the door. Members let themselves in, practice, leave. You check the unlock log later.

Casual membership access

Offer a casual month-to-month membership for members who want access outside of your regular class times. They pay monthly, get the door open whenever they need.

Studio rental for teachers

Rent your studio space to independent yoga teachers by the month. They get door access tied to their rental payment — no key handover, no fob management.

24/7 studio access membership

Offer a premium unlimited-access tier at a higher price point. Members can come in at any hour — ideal for dedicated practitioners who want a quiet space outside class hours.

Yoga studio access questions

Does the member need to download an app?+
No. Members open a link in their phone's web browser — Safari, Chrome, or any browser they already use. They tap Unlock and the door opens. No App Store, no Google Play, no installation.
What hardware does my yoga studio need?+
Latch ships you a pre-configured Raspberry Pi controller and relay. You mount it near your studio door and wire it to your existing electric door strike or magnetic lock. Most yoga studio doors use a standard 12V door strike — no special hardware required.
Can I still run classes alongside Latch?+
Yes. Latch handles door access for members who have ongoing access. You can still run classes independently — Latch doesn't interfere with class bookings. Some studio owners use Latch for open access members and a separate tool (or just manual booking) for class-based students.
What if a member is on-site when their payment fails?+
They can finish their current session. Access revocation applies on the next unlock attempt. They receive an email prompting them to update their payment details.
Can I set access hours for my studio?+
Time-restricted access (e.g. 5am–10pm only) is on the roadmap. Currently, access is 24/7 for all active members.
How much does it cost?+
$200/month NZD, which includes the hardware. No setup fee, no per-member charges. First month is free.
