## What is Emberleaf Focus?

Emberleaf is a focus timer for anyone who finds starting the hardest part.

Light a candle, pick one thing to point it at, and work until it burns down. Finish and a houseplant appears on your shelf — a monstera, a pothos, a bird of paradise — and it stays. Over the weeks, the shelf fills up with what you actually got done.

Five minutes counts. Your very first session is five minutes on purpose.

NO GUILT
Stop a session early and a plant droops. Water it with one tap and it perks right back up. Nothing is erased, and Emberleaf will never send you a "you haven't focused today" notification.

SOUND THAT HELPS
Mix your own soundscape from six layers: rain on leaves, café hum, deep forest, brown noise, ocean waves and lo-fi beats. It's generated live on your device, keeps playing when your screen locks, and plays alongside your own music instead of stopping it.

WORK YOUR WAY
• Focus sessions with short and long breaks, or a length you choose
• Flowtime: count up instead of down, and get a break sized to what you did
• Hide the countdown and let the candle show how much is left
• An optional heads-up at two minutes left
• Tasks with session estimates, so you always know what's next

SEE IT ADD UP
Your day streak, your week at a glance, time spent on each task, and the hour you tend to focus best.

FOUR ROOMS
Grow your shelf in a loft with an arched window, a brick kitchen, a coral bedroom, or a parlour with a tiled fireplace.

WIDGETS
Keep your shelf, and the candle while it burns, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

Designed for both iPhone and iPad.

FREE, AND WHAT ISN'T
The timer, your tasks, your shelf and the loft are free forever — and every session you finish plants something, whether or not you ever pay. One purchase unlocks the other three rooms, all six soundscapes and the full Growth screen. It's a single payment, not a subscription.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device.
