About Ember: Journal & Life Archive
Ember is a journal that remembers your people. Write about your day. Mention someone once, and every moment you share gathers on their page. Years from now, open it and everything you lived together is there, in your own words. A life archive, kept by you. No account. No AI. Just open Ember and write. MENTION THEM ONCE • Type @ and a name. That moment now belongs to them, and to you. • Everyone gets a page: how you met, the stories you share, every moment you wrote down. • Worlds for the circles you move in (family, work, college) and stories for chapters that span years. • Bring people in from Apple Contacts, with birthdays and details intact. IT COMES BACK TO YOU • The Feed brings back moments you had almost forgotten, on the right day: a year since you met, a story from last summer. • When someone you care about has been quiet too long, they gently surface. No streaks. No guilt. YOUR LIFE, ON A MAP • The Map shows where every memory happened: entries, stories and people. • On Mac and iPad, the Graph shows everyone at once, gathered into the worlds you share. BRING YOUR OLD JOURNALS • Import from Day One and Apple Journal, with your photos, video and audio. • Ember finds the people already in your old entries, so years of writing gather on their pages. WRITE THE WAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE • Markdown, photos, voice memos, and songs from Apple Music. • Weather is added for you. Places only when you choose. • Themes, fonts and line spacing to make it feel like yours. SEND THEM THE MEMORY • Turn a moment into a card for the people in it, or keep a story as a PDF keepsake. • Nothing is hosted. You choose what to send, and to whom. YOURS ALONE • Local-first: your journal lives on your device. • Lock it with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. • Sync is private, through your own iCloud. • Export everything, anytime, as an open, documented archive. • No AI. Ember never reads, writes or summarizes a word of your journal. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC One archive, wherever you write. ⌘K searches everything on Mac and iPad. EMBER PLUS Ember is free, with no limit on what you write. Ember Plus adds: • iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac • The full theme catalogue Available monthly with a 1-week free trial, yearly with a 2-week free trial, or as a lifetime purchase.

What’s new
Version 1.4.0 · Updated October 25, 2026
What's new in Ember 1.4 • Calendar: your life by day. Each day shows its photo, what you wrote and the stories that began on it, with birthdays, the days you met and anniversaries named on their day. Tap a day to read it or to write about it. Upcoming lists the dates of the next twelve months. On iPhone it is in Browse; on iPad, in the sidebar under Life. • Custom fields can be dates. Make a field such as "Wedding" a date and it comes round on the Calendar every year, with how many years it has been. For a day that happened once, such as a move, turn off "Comes round every year". Dates from Contacts come in as dates. • Filter a person's interactions by tag. The tag picker lists the tags you use most. • Presence starts unrated when you log an interaction, so only the ratings you give are saved. • Memory cards and A book of us now include the follow-ups you wrote on an interaction.
