## What is Ember?

Turn off your alarm half-asleep, then fall back asleep? Ember keeps your wake-up active until you finish the checks you chose. Silencing the sound is only the beginning.

Walk a few steps. Scan the barcode on your toothpaste. Solve a puzzle. Choose one check or combine several into a routine that gets you moving.

FIVE WAYS TO WAKE UP

• Walk: set a step target. Ember stays quiet while you move and can ring again if you stop before finishing.
• Scan: save a barcode or QR code away from your bed, then get up and scan it.
• Math: choose your difficulty and question count, from quick sums to harder problems.
• Tiles: put a 3×3 or 4×4 sliding puzzle back in order.
• Vocabulary: practice your own word pairs while you wake up.

YOUR ALARM, YOUR ROUTINE

Set the time, repeat days and checks separately for each alarm. Skip individual dates without deleting your schedule. If you want a planned pause, enable one-time snooze. An optional Emergency Override lets you end a wake-up with your chosen passphrase.

MAKE YOUR PROGRESS VISIBLE

Build a streak, see your wake-up history and beat your own scores. Add friends for a little morning competition. Unlock collectible embers and themes as you reach milestones.

BUILT AROUND YOUR DEVICE

Alarms and checks run on your device. You do not need an Ember account; an optional account adds cloud backup and friend features. Camera access is used for scanning, and motion access for walking.

On iOS 26 and later, Ember uses Apple's AlarmKit for system alarms. Locked-screen walking uses temporary workout support and requires the relevant permissions. Alarm behavior depends on your iOS version and device settings.

MEMBERSHIP

Full access requires a paid Ember membership. Choose a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Available plans and local prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store account. Trial eligibility, when offered, is confirmed by the store.
