Make screen time a reward, not a habit. Merite helps you turn everyday responsibilities into intentional screen time. Create tasks for work, study, chores, or personal goals. Complete them to build your screen time budget, then use that time when you want a break. Instead of scrolling by default, Merite helps you pause, finish what matters, and enjoy your phone with less guilt. - Complete tasks to earn screen time - Keep distracting apps blocked until you have time available - Stay private with on-device data, no accounts, and no tracking - Enjoy guilt-free scrolling because your break is earned Turn your phone from a distraction into a tool for balance.

Completely free AND usefUl, I never thought I would find it.

MEGA MEGA MINION
I tried multiple apps to lower my screen time, and honestly, it wasn’t looking good. They all charged money, and even when there was a free option, it didn’t make any sense and was super confusing to use. Every app felt different and complicated.Then I downloaded Merite. When I got this app, it had a clear and simple way of working, and it actually helps. Even though I’ve only had it for a short time, it lets you create your own schedule for what you need to do. You earn points for completing tasks, and you can use those points to get more screen time. I think this is a really good way to stay productive. I highly recommend this free app because it actually makes a difference and, it is 100% free.

Not sure how this isn’t a popular, Instantly love this and how you need to earn your screen time, and finally a free app! It’d be incredible if you could withdraw and pick what app you want to use it on!

Hi! Thanks for the 5 stars! That's a really cool feature idea, I think I might implement something like that someday. Glad you like the app!

Incorrect timing?

Hello! Before I say anything this is a better app than all the other screen time apps but… After I earned 100 minutes and withdrew them, about 15-20 minutes later it shut down my apps again for some reason 😭I wonder if this is a glitch or something. But yeah… Thank you for reading!

Developer Response
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. This isn't exactly a glitch, but rather how the app currently works: a new withdrawal overwrites the active timer instead of adding to it (so 15m replaces the 100m).I completely agree it should stack, and I'm planning to fix this in a future update. Thanks for the feedback!
