Your questions, answered

How does Merit work?

Merit works by connecting directly your Apple Health center and Screen Time apps enabling you to block apps and websites from your phone until you complete your daily fitness goals. You can set your own goals like steps, calories burned and activity and change your goals at any time.

Can I use Merit for free?

Yes! Merit has a free 14 day trial where you can use all of Merit's features for free, after which Merit is $6.99 per month.  

What makes Merit better than other app blockers?

While other app blockers are great for blocking specific apps for certain periods of time they do not help you replace your screen time habits or help you grow as a person. Merit believes physical activity each day is the path to improving your problem with screen time.
