Living Apart Together: The App for Couples Who Choose Their Own Space
You love each other. You just don't need to share a bathroom. LAT (Living Apart Together) is a relationship style that's growing fast. LockLove is the daily thread that connects you — without the pressure of constant messaging.
What Is a LAT Relationship?
Living Apart Together (LAT) describes committed couples who maintain separate homes by choice. It's not long-distance — you might live in the same city, even the same neighborhood. It's a deliberate choice to maintain independence while being fully committed.
- 10% of adults in Europe are in LAT relationships
- Growing fastest among over-50s and professionals
- Not a sign of less commitment — often the opposite
Why LAT Couples Love LockLove
Presence without intrusion
LAT couples value their space. A wallpaper says 'thinking of you' without the 'we need to talk' energy of a text or call. It's a gentle daily gesture.
Two homes, one connection
You each wake up in your own bed. But the first thing you both see is each other — on the lock screen. Separate homes, shared moment.
Low effort, high impact
LAT relationships thrive on quality over quantity. One wallpaper a day — a photo, a note, a memory — maintains the bond without becoming a chore.
Respects independence
No read receipts. No 'last seen' pressure. No conversation thread to maintain. Just a wallpaper that says 'I love you' and asks for nothing back.
LAT Life with LockLove
Morning routine, separate homes
You wake up in your apartment. Coffee, shower, check phone — and there's a photo from them with 'Good morning from across town.' Different homes, same ritual.
Weeknight dinner
Cooking dinner alone. Send a photo of your meal to their lock screen: 'Yours looks better, I bet.' They smile when they check their phone after dishes.
Quiet evening
Both home, both relaxing. A wallpaper arrives: a photo of their cat with 'Your fur child says hi.' No need to call. The connection is already there.
Weekend preview
Friday afternoon wallpaper: 'My place or yours this weekend?' The best part of LAT life is choosing to come together.
