What's New in Ember
1.0.4
September 17, 2026
Ember stays with you now. The evening check-in no longer runs out after two weeks away, and each milestone you reach leaves a note on your lock screen, in Ember's voice — and those notes now show even while Ember is open, and a tap takes you straight to the right place. The milestone ladder keeps going past a year: 18 months, 2, 3 and 5 years. Settings is a new hearth, with Rate, Help & FAQ and a beta crew link.
