Your kid wants to text. Now they study first.

Free for now, by invitation — a dad's project, not a startup.

Merit is a tutor that helps your kid study in short exercises — and every correct answer earns merits they spend to send messages. You have access to everything: read every conversation, approve or block every contact, pause messaging any time.

Later, the idea is $5 a month per child, plus $5 for their own LA number to text friends outside Merit — priced like a dad's project. You'll always know before anything is charged.

By invitation only

Every conversation mirrored in your app. Nothing hidden, nothing silent.

For kids: earn your way into messaging, one exercise at a time — reading, math, and logic get a little better with every text. For parents: every conversation in view, no guessing, no strangers, nothing hidden.

Hi, I'm Arturo. I'm a dad, not a startup.

My ten-year-old wanted to text her friends. I wasn't ready to hand her a phone with everything on it — but I also didn't want to just say no. So I built Merit for her, and it worked: she reads more, she texts her friends, and dinner isn't a negotiation. Other parents kept asking for it, so here it is. Everything Merit earns goes back into Merit — covering what it costs to run and making it better for our kids. No investors, no ads. If your family joins, tell me how it can be improved — that's how it gets better.
