Great for staying organized

I’m enjoying using Ember! I like using it for meditation and short focus sessions. Everything feels smooth and the visuals are really nice. The design is really clean and the visuals are calming. It’s become part of my daily routine.

Love it

This is a great app that has stunning graphic, it has a minimalistic and modern design. Overall, great app for meditating or pomodoro or just no phone challenge

A Beautiful Way to Stay Focused

Beautiful and calming focus app. I love the idea of using living visuals instead of boring numbers — it actually makes me want to stay focused. The press-and-hold to start is a nice touch, and the animations feel really polished and relaxing. Minimal, distraction-free, and thoughtfully designed. Great for deep work and mindfulness sessions.

Keep me focused

I really like this app, originally I downloaded it to try the daily 10 minutes no-phone challenge, and really liked the visual engines. They look simple yet stunning. I tried meditation and I also use this app as a timer for it, it has a lot of utilities since it is a timer. Highly recommended!

Really cool design

Downloaded this app as a challenge to help me detach myself from my phone for 15 minutes. I’m on day 3 and so far it’s great. The UI is clean and looks minimal yet stunning especially the visual engines. Highly recommend if you need a timer app for anything like meditation or pomodoro.
