HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps that tend to pull you in when you wake up, how long your morning lasts, and how you want it to feel. From then on, Median starts on its own the first time you pick up your phone. There’s no schedule to set and nothing to remember. Those apps wait until your morning is over. A FEW MINUTES THAT CHANGE YOUR WHOLE DAY Each morning, a short routine is ready: a breathing exercise to settle in, then one quick game to wake your mind up. It takes a few minutes, and it comes first. MORNINGS YOU’LL LOOK FORWARD TO Twenty short activities across four feelings: Calm, Focus, Energy, and Clarity. Sort colors by eye, find the numbers in order, feel ten seconds pass without a clock, find words against the clock. Something different is waiting each morning, so it never turns into a chore. EVERYTHING ELSE STILL WORKS Alarms, calls, maps and music stay on. Only the scrolling has to wait. WHEN YOU REACH ANYWAY Until you’ve done your routine, the apps you chose stay closed. After it, Median doesn’t just put up a wall: it reminds you what the moment is worth and offers something better to do with it. If you still want in, you can open the app. Median shows what that costs your Morning Score first, and the choice is yours. MORNINGS THAT KEEP GETTING BETTER Every morning is recorded. Your Morning Score and History show when you usually finish your routine, how your week went, and how your mornings improve over time. A GOOD THOUGHT INSTEAD If you like, Median sends one note the first time you pick up your phone: motivation, grounding, or a line from your faith tradition. One a morning, never more. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Median works through Apple’s Screen Time. It never learns which apps you chose, never sees what you do in them, and never records your screen. The activities that use the microphone never record or keep what you say. SUBSCRIPTION Median is a subscription with two plans. Yearly: a 7-day free trial, then billed once a year. Monthly: billed each month, cancel whenever you want. Prices for your region are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
