## What is Ember?

Ember is the friend who's read exactly as far as you have.

Add the book you're reading, set your bookmark, and talk about it without fear. Ember knows the story only up to your page. Ask what you missed, untangle who's who, or float a theory. Guesses about the ending get a smile, never a confirmation.

Talk to the characters themselves. Chat with Harry, not just about him. Characters speak in their own voice and know only what they've lived so far. Each conversation is its own thread, and it picks up right where you left off.

Reading a series? Ember reads along across all of it. On book four, it remembers books one through three the way you do, and it guards everything ahead. Ask about the early chapters of book one; nothing from book five will slip.

Weave Threads across your books. Pick one to five and Ember writes a short essay tracing an idea through them, held to your bookmark in each. Flip on whole-books mode when you want everything on the table, endings included. Business books shine here: compare frameworks across titles, or pull the playbook out of a single book and share the whole essay.

Non-fiction works differently, and Ember knows it. There's nothing to spoil in a business book, so Ember brings all of it: the definitions, the frameworks, and how to put them to work at your job.

Any book, not just a catalog. Add something Ember hasn't read yet and it goes off and reads it, usually within minutes. The shelf grows with every reader.

And the one promise underneath all of it: every reply is checked against your bookmark before you ever see it. Spoilers don't get through.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.4 — 2026-07-18

Ember 2 is here, out of beta, and this build brings the two features we've wanted since day one.

SERIES CHAT
On book 4 of 7? Ember and its characters now remember books 1 through 3 the way you do, and everything after stays locked. Harry remembers the troll from first year. He has no idea what's coming in book five.

THREADS, GROWN UP

Weave one to five books into a short essay. Yes, one: Ember pulls the core ideas out of a single book and shows you how to use them.
New whole-books option includes endings and spoilers when that's what you want. Off by default, always your call.
Share the full essay now, not just the quote.
Business books are the sleeper hit: compare EOS, OKRs, and Traction in one weave.
NON-FICTION, DONE RIGHT
Business and self-help books get the whole-book treatment: definitions, frameworks, and straight answers about how to apply them. Nothing to spoil, nothing held back.

CHAT THAT FEELS LIKE TEXTING
Bubbles and typing dots, separate threads for Ember and every character, and conversations that persist on your device. The book page got tidier too, with more room to talk.

PLUS
Real covers for uploaded books, series badges on your shelf, sign-in fixes, and a fresh coat of Ember orange throughout.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-13

Ember got a big glow-up:
- Your shelf now shows real covers with reading progress
- A new home screen picks up right where you left off
