Great potential but one issue

I haven’t been using Merite long but so far it has been very good. It was exactly what I was looking for and wasn’t something I needed to pay for. However if I try to add more than three reoccurring tasks I am stopped at a pay wall. I am not sure if it is just me or it is this way for everyone. While this is not a huge problem, you will have to recreate a new task every time which hurt my productivity.

Hi! Thanks for the review. To answer your question: yes, this is by design and applies to all users. The free version includes up to 3 recurring tasks, while creating more requires a subscription. I understand it might be inconvenient if you have a larger daily routine, but this limitation is part of the free tier rather than a bug.

AMAZING

Thank you! So happy to hear it's helping you make progress right away. Wishing you all the best!

Free and easy to use

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!
