See time, start gently, switch tasks, and capture Sparks before ideas vanish. Ember is a beautiful visual timer for ADHD minds that keeps focus calm and ideas alive, too.
Ember is a beautiful visual timer for ADHD minds, creative people, and anyone who needs help seeing time instead of just knowing it is passing.
It is built for the moments when starting feels hard, stopping feels harder, and ideas disappear the second you try to focus.
With Ember, time becomes visual, calm, and tangible.
Start a Focus Session when you want to work, study, clean, write, practice, read, or simply stay with one thing for a while.
Start a Transition Session when you need help moving from one state to another:
leaving the house, stopping scrolling, starting work, switching tasks, winding down, or taking the next small step.
And when an idea appears in the middle of everything, save it as a Spark.
A Spark is a quick thought, idea, lyric, task, memory, creative impulse, post idea, comic idea, image idea, or anything your mind does not want to lose.
Ember helps you protect your attention without losing your ideas.
FEATURES
VISUAL COUNTDOWN TIMER
See time pass through a large, elegant visual timer designed to feel clear, calm, and satisfying.
FOCUS SESSIONS
Use Ember when you want to stay with one activity for a chosen amount of time.

LOCAL FIRST
Your sessions and Spark drafts are stored locally on your device.
WHY EMBER?
Most timers only count down.
Ember is different.
It is designed around the real problem many ADHD and creative minds face: not just doing the task, but starting it, switching into it, staying with it, and not losing the ideas that appear along the way.
Sometimes you need calm.
Sometimes you need color.
Sometimes you need a tiny push.
Sometimes you need somewhere safe to put the thought that just appeared.
Ember gives you a simple ritual:
See the time.
Start gently.
Stay with the moment.
Save what sparked.
Move on without losing the thread.
Ember is not a productivity system packed with pressure, streaks, guilt, and complicated dashboards.
It is a small, beautiful tool for making time visible and keeping ideas alive.
