Fun is not a feature. It's a constraint.

Merton builds Android apps that solve real problems without the bloat, dark patterns, or borrowed-from-iOS thinking that makes most tools feel like work.

— What we ship

Small apps. Considered deeply.

Each Merton app targets one job and does it well. No upsell screens, no permission creep — just a tool that earns its place on your home screen.

Focus

Stack

Shelf

A distraction blocker that respects how you actually work. Flexible sessions, zero nag screens.

A lightweight task list that stays out of your way until you open it — then gets straight to the point.

Track what you read without building a spreadsheet. Quick to log, pleasant to review.

Our thinking

We spent weeks on one tap because the app lives in your pocket for years.

Android gives users real choices. Our job is making sure those choices never feel like a penalty — every detail earns its presence or gets cut.
