## What is meru?

meru is a dedicated app for reading newsletters — calm, focused, and private. Give your newsletters a reading space of their own, away from your cluttered inbox.

■ Problems meru solves
- Important newsletters get buried under work emails
- Images show up as plain links and are hard to read
- You lose your place in long newsletters when you close them
- You don't want senders to know when, or how often, you read

■ Features

[Your own subscribe address]
Get a dedicated email address just for newsletters. Subscribe with it, and everything lands in meru. Your everyday inbox stays clean.

[Tracking blocker]
meru automatically blocks the tracking pixels that measure opens. Read quietly — without telling senders when or how many times you opened.

[Reading position memory]
Close a long newsletter anytime. Next time you open it, you pick up right where you left off.

[Clean reading view]
Both plain-text and HTML emails are displayed comfortably, with images intact — no more screens full of links.

■ Pricing
- Free: all core features (dedicated address, tracking blocker, reading position). Keeps the last 90 days of email.
- Pro (monthly subscription): unlimited email storage + no ads + reading position synced across your devices

Make newsletters something you actually read — not just "save for later." Start free.

■ Terms & Privacy
meru Pro is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the price is shown in your local currency before you subscribe. Manage or cancel anytime in your store's subscription settings.
