## What is Ember?

Block the apps that eat your day. Get the time back as XP, streaks and badges.

Ember is a focus timer with teeth. Pick the apps you lose hours to, start a session, and they stay shut until you are done.

BLOCKED MEANS BLOCKED
Pick the apps once. Every session after that, they simply don't open until you're done — no deciding, no negotiating, nothing to override. Blocking is enforced by iOS Screen Time, not by a countdown you can quietly ignore.

THE TIME COMES BACK AS SOMETHING
Every finished session pays XP, moves a level and fills a day on your activity map. Miss a day and you can see the gap.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Pomodoro and Quick modes. Drag the dial to set the length
• App blocking for the length of a session
• 64 badges across Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary, most of them hidden until you earn them
• Weekly challenges
• A daily focus goal, and a streak that keeps count
• Add friends and your streak stops being private
• A Live Activity for the session you are running

FREE, EVERY DAY
• 5 charges a day. One charge is 25 minutes of focus
• XP, levels, streaks and badges
• Weekly challenges
• No ads, no tracking
