## What is Merit.?

Show up. Apps unlock.

Merit blocks distracting apps until you physically arrive at the places that matter — the gym, library, office, or anywhere you commit to being. No timers, no willpower needed. Just show up.

HOW IT WORKS
• Set a commitment: pick a location, choose which apps to block, and set your schedule
• When your commitment activates, selected apps are blocked
• Walk to your location — Merit detects your arrival via GPS and unlocks your apps
• Build streaks by showing up consistently

TWO BLOCKING MODES
• Block Until Arrival — apps stay locked until you show up (perfect for getting yourself to the gym)
• Block While At Location — apps lock only while you're there (perfect for staying focused at the library)

ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS
Invite a friend to join your commitment. See when they show up. Hold each other accountable. Because it's easier to skip when nobody's watching.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Daily streaks and weekly progress
• See how often you show up to each location
• Monthly history and unlock records

FREE TO START

Time-Based App Blocking

You asked, we built it — you can now block apps during specific times of the day. Set a start and end time (like 9 PM to 6 AM) and your selected apps will be automatically blocked and unblocked on schedule. No location needed.

- Choose "Blocked during a time window" when creating a commitment
- Supports overnight windows and recurring schedules
- Get notified when your block starts and ends
- Works in the background, even if the app is closed
