Merit — Support

Merit: Volunteer Hours Tracker is a volunteer service log for iPhone. Log every shift, track your progress toward your goal — NHS, college applications, a scholarship, or a program requirement — and export an official-style PDF hours log with a supervisor signature line.

Frequently asked questions

How do I log my hours?

Tap the + button on the home screen. Start the shift timer when you arrive and stop it when you wrap up — or just type the hours in directly (2.5 works fine). Add the organization and the supervisor who can verify your hours.

How do I change my goal?

Settings → Tracking toward. Pick what you're working toward and set the exact hours your school, chapter, or program requires.

How do I get the PDF log?

Report tab → Create PDF. The log includes dated entries with organization and supervisor, totals against your goal, and a certification block with a supervisor signature line. PDF export is part of Merit Pro.

How do I restore a purchase?

Settings → Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple Account you bought Merit Pro with.

Is my data private?

Yes — your entire log lives on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. See the privacy policy.

Will my school accept the PDF?

The log is designed to match what schools and programs typically ask for: dated entries, totals, and a supervisor certification. Some schools want hours on their own form — the PDF and CSV have everything you need to fill one out in a minute. Confirm your school's exact requirements before submitting.
