About Ember — Digital Wellbeing
Ember tracks your mental energy like a battery and shows you exactly what is draining it.
Every day your brain has a limited supply of focus and energy. Screen time, notification overload, poor sleep, and constant app switching quietly burn through it. Most people don't notice until they are already running on empty.
Ember measures these signals automatically and turns them into one number: your Fire Battery. Watch it rise and fall throughout the day as you work, rest, and recharge.
WHAT EMBER TRACKS
- Screen time and passive scrolling (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok)
- Daily notification count and how many times your focus was broken
- App switching frequency, a key signal of mental overload
- Sleep impact on your energy levels
- Late night phone use
FEATURES
- Fire Battery: your daily mental energy score from 0 to 100
- App Usage Breakdown: see exactly which apps drain you most
- Focus Mode: distraction-free deep work sessions with a timer
- Daily Journal: log your mood and notes, see patterns over time
- Insights: 7-day charts, weekly review, and life projection
- Streaks and Achievements: build the habit with milestones
- Daily Reminders: gentle check-ins to keep your fire alive
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Ember is 100% offline. No account required. No internet connection ever used. Your data never leaves your device, not to our servers, not to anyone.
We collect no personal data. We show no ads. Ever.
If you uninstall or clear app data, your records are permanently deleted. We make that very clear upfront.
WHO IT IS FOR
Developers, founders, remote workers, students, and creators who spend most of their day on screens and feel the cost of it. If you have ever ended a day feeling mentally exhausted without knowing why, Ember will show you exactly why.
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
Ember requests two special permissions.
Screen Time Access reads how long you use each app. We never read what you do inside apps. Used only to calculate your Fire Battery.
Notification Listener counts how many notifications arrive. We never read notification content, titles, or sender names. Count only.
Both permissions are explained in detail before you grant them. You can use Ember with either or both turned off.
Your mental energy is finite. Ember helps you protect it.
