What's New in Ember · A Soft Place
1.0.1
May 7, 2026
A small new section in Settings called "Free, with gratitude." Ember stays free, always, with no tip jar inside the app. If you'd like to express gratitude for Ember being here on a hard day, two organizations I love (CASA Pinellas and NAMI) are now one tap away. Every dollar goes directly to them.
