Ember is the privacy-first focus timer built for deep work. Complete your most important goals with beautiful ambient soundscapes and zero tracking — ever.
WHY EMBER?
Privacy Native. Your data never leaves your device. No analytics SDKs. No data brokers. No "free app" business model. Just offline-first focus that respects your time and your data. Made in the EU with GDPR by default.
Beautiful Design. A minimalist timer that fades away so you can focus. Warm gold ring on dark background with immersive full-screen sessions. Dark mode by default. Hand-crafted animations that feel like a premium physical object.
Ambient Soundscapes. 8+ professionally recorded sounds (Rain, Forest, Café, White Noise, plus premium options). Multi-track mixing on Pro. Works completely offline — no internet required.
Professional Analytics. Track focus streaks, daily focus scores, weekly patterns, and your most productive hours. Gamified achievements unlock as you build habits.
Session Types. Choose preset durations or create custom sessions. 25-minute Pomodoro, 90-minute deep work blocks, or whatever matches your natural rhythm.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
· Zero Tracking — We genuinely never see your data. Not "anonymized tracking," not "aggregated insights." Nothing.
· Offline First — Records sessions locally. Sync optional. Zero vendor lock-in.
· Fair Pricing — €3.99/month Pro (or €29.99/year), €59.99 lifetime.
· European Values — GDPR compliant by design, hosted in the EU, built by humans who believe privacy is non-negotiable.
