Does Meadow work on hotel or café Wi-Fi?

It can, but shared or managed networks often throttle background apps or block certain ports. According to community network research, stable home or coworking connections are the most reliable contributor type. A café connection will contribute less predictably than a fixed apartment broadband line.

Will Meadow slow down my internet while I work?

No. Meadow yields to your own traffic automatically. If you start a video call or a large download, Meadow steps aside. You will not notice it running during normal work tasks.

Can I pause Meadow when I'm on a metered or limited data plan?

Yes. You can pause the app at any point from the interface. Meadow Points accumulate only when the app is active and connected. No contribution happens while paused.

Does Meadow collect my personal data or browsing history?

No. Meadow uses only the spare portion of your unused bandwidth to help verified institutions gather public web data. It does not access your personal files, browsing history, or any traffic you generate.
