Ember: Focus Timer

A flame that keeps you focused

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Every finished session lights a candle for your collection, sized to how long you stayed. Give up, and the flame goes out. Free, private, no account. Ember is a focus timer with something at stake. Start a session and a small flame begins to burn. Stay out of other apps and it holds steady to the end. Leave to scroll and it goes out — quietly, and you'll see it happen. Finish, and Ember lights a candle for your collection. Longer sessions make bigger candles, so the shelf becomes an honest record of how you've actually spent your attention. Sessions you gave up on leave a melted stub. Those stay too. WHY IT WORKS Most timers just count down. Ember gives you something small to protect, and that turns out to be the difference between closing the app and staying with the work. FEATURES • 15, 25, and 50 minute presets, or any length from 1 to 180 minutes • Focus guard — switching apps puts the flame out; locking your device doesn't • Runs on your Lock Screen while you work, and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones • Home Screen widget with a live countdown • A candle for every finished session, sized to its length • Daily streaks — keep the flame alive • A warm chime when you're done, so you can look away entirely • Seven themes that recolor the whole app, flame included PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind. Every session you run stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. Ember is free. Six extra themes are available as one-time purchases, or take the bundle for every theme including all future ones.
