Not shame. Not a hard block. <br>Just enough space to make a real choice before you continue.<br><br>———<br><br>What Meridian does:<br><br>- Choose which apps to guard<br>- Calm full-screen overlay appears before those apps open<br>- Set an intention before you continue<br>- Or return to Meridian to regain control<br>- Guided breath protocols to ease yourself into focus<br>- Track your patterns and reflections over time<br>- Everything stays on your device<br><br>———<br><br>Free:<br>- Up to 5 intentional check-ins per day<br>- Guard any apps you choose<br>- See your check-ins and reflections<br>- Your own words reflected back to you<br><br>Premium: One-time purchase:<br>- Unlimited check-ins<br>- On-device AI (downloads once, runs locally, never leaves <br>  your phone)<br>- AI-generated reflections based on your actual patterns<br>- Weekly and monthly intention insights<br>- Semantic grouping across your intentions<br>- Custom breath protocols<br>- Custom themes<br>- Custom quotes<br><br>No subscription.
