Ember is a simple Pomodoro timer for turning study and work goals into completed sessions. Set a daily target, choose your work and break lengths, and see your focused time add up. SET YOUR MISSION Tell Ember what you're working towards and how many sessions you'll commit to each day. Ember turns that into a daily target and tracks how far through your mission you are. A TIMER THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST Start a session and lock in. Ember stays out of your way while you work and alerts you the moment your block ends — even if your screen is off — so you never have to keep checking the clock. MADE TO FIT YOUR RHYTHM Set your own focus, short break and long break lengths. Adjust the alarm volume. Tag sessions by project so you can see exactly where your hours went. SEE THE WORK STACK UP Your stats show total sessions and total focused time against your daily goal. The calendar view breaks it down day by day, so progress stops being a feeling and starts being a record. PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Sign in and your sessions, settings and goals stay with you across devices. WHY 25 MINUTES The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Work is split into short, protected blocks with deliberate recovery in between — long enough to get somewhere, short enough to start. Four sessions, then a longer break. Ember Premium unlocks unlimited sessions, streaks and full progress insights. Keep the fire burning. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
