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

This app lowered my screen time a lot.All the other apps wanted me to pay 40 + dollars this app is free and easy to use.Great job to whoever created this.

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!
