Bolt: Get a Room app for iPhone and iPad

With a single tap, Bolt lets you tell your roommate you need some privacy.

Sharing a space with someone can be difficult. Often, you need some alone time for intimacy, sleeping, working, or simply relaxing. Even if you’re lucky enough to have an understanding roommate, asking for the room is at best not subtle, and at worst, plain awkward. Plus, texting your roommate can waste precious time when you have better things to do.

Bolt streamlines this process. One tap, and your room is bolted. Another tap, and you’ve unlocked it. Your roommate is notified instantly – no questions asked. Has your roommate bolted the room for an extended period of time? Tap, and he or she receives a room request.

An instantaneous do-not-disturb sign, Bolt eliminates the headaches and discomfort tied to asking for privacy. Getting a room should be simple – and with Bolt, it is.
