How Ember works

Plan. Focus. Track. Review.

Most apps make you choose between a planner and a timer. In Ember they’re the same thing — the block you plan is the clock you run.

  1. 01 · Plan

    Plan your day in time blocks.

    Give each task a time, a length, a colour and an icon. Switch on Focus session and the block gets its own Start button.

    • Time & length
    • Subtasks & notes
    • Alerts
    • Repeats

  2. 02 · Focus

    Tap Start. The block becomes the clock.

    A full-screen flip countdown, titled with your task and sized to your block. After a few seconds the controls fade away and only the time is left.

  3. 03 · Track

    Finish the block. It ticks itself off.

    The moment a session ends it’s saved — even if you stop early — and the block is checked off on your timeline. No double bookkeeping.

    See where your hours went.

    Day, week, month and year, split by activity — with your peak focus hours, your longest sessions and how often you finish what you start.

01 · Plan

Everything a block needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Build a block in seconds — a time, a length, an activity — then add only what helps: subtasks, notes, alerts or a repeat.

Personal from minute one

Built around how you focus.

Answer seven quick questions and Ember sets up your session length, breaks, mode and daily goal — plus a tip for whatever pulls you away. Skip it if you’d rather dive in.

  1. 01What do you want to focus on?
  2. 02When is your mind sharpest?
  3. 03How long can you usually stay focused?
  4. 04What pulls you away most?
  5. 05How do you like to plan your day?
  6. 06What does your day look like?
  7. 07How much focus a day feels right?
Ember's onboarding result: your focus profile is The Rhythm Keeper, with a 45-minute session, 10-minute breaks and a 4-hour daily goal

  • The Sprinter

    Short, sharp bursts with real breaks keep your energy high.

  • The Rhythm Keeper

    Steady, medium-length blocks. A good rhythm matters more than a marathon.

  • The Deep Diver

    Once you’re in, you stay in. Long, uninterrupted sessions are where you shine.

The details

Small things, done properly.

A day and a night theme, your choice of accent, an icon that follows your phone, fifteen languages — and nothing to sign up for.

Night and day

A warm night theme for the desk lamp hours and a paper-white day theme — switch with one tap from Home.

An icon for day and night

The Flip Eclipse icon glows amber by day and turns midnight blue when your phone switches to dark mode.

Fifteen accent colours

Amber is ours. Pick coral, sage, sky, violet or ten others and the whole app follows.

Speaks fifteen languages

Follows your phone, or pick one in Settings.

A flip built natively

Every flip is drawn by native code on iPhone and Android, so it stays smooth on older phones too. Choose from five completion sounds — bell, chime, pulse, digital and xylophone — with haptics on start and finish.

No account

Open it and start. No sign-up, no email, no password.

Your data stays put

Pricing

Every feature is free.

Questions

Good to know.

Something else on your mind? Email us, or message us on WhatsApp or by text at +92 349 6772797.

Is Ember really free?

Yes. Every feature is free. Ember shows a few ads at natural breaks — after you finish a session or close the clock — never during a session. Ember Pro removes them.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start. There’s no sign-up, and your plans and sessions are stored on your phone.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Timers, plans, reminders and reports all work with Wi-Fi off.

Does Ember block other apps?

No. Ember keeps a full-screen clock in front of you and your phone out of your hand, but it doesn’t lock or block other apps.

What happens if I stop a session early?

It still counts. Ember logs the time you focused, and a session started from a block ticks that block off.

Can I use the Pomodoro technique?

Yes. Set the focus length, break length and number of rounds, and Ember runs the rounds and breaks and tells you when you’ll finish.

Can I see a session without unlocking my phone?

On iPhone, a running session shows in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen as a Live Activity (iOS 16.2 or later). On Android, a floating clock can sit over your other apps.

Which devices does Ember run on?

iPhone with iOS 15.1 or later, from the App Store. Ember for Android is on its way to Google Play.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Polish and Indonesian.

How do I cancel Ember Pro?

Manage or cancel your subscription any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Settings → Manage Subscription in Ember takes you there.

What data does Ember collect?

Your sessions, activities and goals never leave your phone. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, and purchases go through Apple, Google and Adapty. The privacy policy has the details.

Start your first block.

Free on the App Store. No account, no setup — plan one block, tap Start, and watch the clock flip.
