Block the apps you pick. Earn them back with real activity.
$9.99 once. No subscription, ever.
Every other app in this category bills you weekly to stay off your phone. One charges $10 a week, which comes to $520 a year to not open Instagram.
Merit reads your steps, exercise minutes, stand hours and sleep from Apple Health and turns them into screen-time credits by itself. There is no "I did it" button, so there is nothing to fake.
| 1,000 steps | 5 minutes |
| 10 minutes of exercise | 10 minutes |
| Each stand hour | 2 minutes |
| 7 hours of sleep | 15 bonus minutes |
Blocking apps and websites, the study-mode allowlist that keeps your calculator reachable, and earning from your step count. Forever, with no trial clock and no paywall waiting at the end of setup.
The other three earning sources, saved blocking profiles, and stats. You pay once. Nothing you already had disappears after you buy.
