iPhone
No more scrolling in bed. Median pauses the apps that pull you in first thing, so each day starts with a clear mind. No schedule. It starts whatever time you wake up.
Not everything deserves immediate access to you.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose the apps that tend to pull you in when you wake up. Choose when your morning can begin and how long it lasts. From then on, Median starts on its own the first time you pick up your phone, and those apps wait until your morning is done. Nothing to remember, nothing to switch on.
EVERYTHING ELSE STILL WORKS
Alarms, calls, messages, maps and music stay on. Only the scrolling has to wait.
WHEN YOU REACH ANYWAY
Median doesn't just put up a wall. It asks one honest question: was there a reason, or did your hand just go? Then it offers something better to do with the moment. If you still want in, you can open the app. Median shows what that costs your streak or your Morning Score first, and the choice is yours.
WATCH THE HABIT CHANGE
Every morning is recorded, started on your terms or not. Your Morning Score and history show the pattern over weeks, so you can see the habit break for good.
A GOOD THOUGHT INSTEAD
If you like, Median sends one note the first time you pick up your phone: motivation, grounding, or a line from your faith tradition. One a morning, never more.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Median works through Apple's Screen Time. It never learns which apps you chose, never sees what you do in them, and never records your screen.
SUBSCRIPTION
Median is a subscription with two plans. Yearly: a 7-day free trial, then billed once a year. Monthly: billed each month, cancel whenever you want. Prices for your region are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
