A softer way to spend screen time
Meadowly
A gentle phone habit tool for people who want to scroll less while being more active.
Private by design
Flexible app time
How it works
Walk. Earn minutes. Trade them.
Earn unlock minutes
Your steps turn into a spendable pool of minutes.
Trade once, use across apps
Spend your earned minutes on the apps you choose to limit, either across all locked apps or one app at a time.
Your app time, your way
Choose how your earned minutes unlock apps.
Meadowly helps you choose which apps you want a softer boundary around. Your steps become minutes, and those minutes can unlock your selected apps in the way that feels easiest for you.
Shared minutes
Trade minutes once, then use that time across any of your locked apps while they are open.
App-by-app minutes
Pick one app and give minutes directly to it when you want more specific control.
Built for trust
Your habits stay yours.
Meadowly is designed as a self-control companion, not a surveillance tool. The app stores your settings, app choices, trades, and streak state locally on your phone.
No login required
Early versions are designed to work without an account or social profile.
Clear permissions
Step access earns minutes. App locking helps Meadowly bring you back when time runs out.
User controlled
You can change your step source, unlock apps, or remove Meadowly if it stops serving you.
