iPhone
Lost 2 hours in TikTok again? Ember quietly tells you how long you've been scrolling, so time stops disappearing. No blocks, no shame.
"Just 5 minutes" turns into 2 hours. Sound familiar?
That's time blindness. It's common with ADHD, and endless feeds make it worse: there's no clock inside a feed.
Ember brings the clock back. While you're in the apps you choose, you get a quiet time check every 15 minutes: "30 min in TikTok today." No blocks, no lectures. Just the time, so you can decide.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps where time disappears: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, anything.
2. Choose how often Ember checks in: every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes.
3. Get a gentle time check while you scroll. Tap "5 more min" or "I'm done" right from the notification.
WHAT YOU GET
- Gentle time checks instead of hard blocks
- "5 more min" check-ins: set your own wrap-up time without leaving the app
- Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets: today's time at a glance
- Evening time receipt: your day in hours, TV episodes and walks
- An optional daily goal per app, with a streak for the days you stay in it
- Daily and weekly usage charts
BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS
No willpower tests, no guilt, no long setup. Ember is a reminder, not a punishment, so it's easy to keep using.
