Ember is a quiet mechanical timer that sits on your desk or rides in your pocket. It doesn’t gamify your focus or grade your productivity — it simply ticks, steadily, like a small machine keeping you company while you work. ◎ A companion that makes time visible If time tends to slip past unnoticed — as it does for many of us, especially those who are neurodivergent — Ember gives it a shape you can see and hear. The dial ticks every second, quiet yet alive, like a friend working alongside you. It’s body doubling in the form of a tool: a steady presence that keeps you anchored to the task at hand. ◎ Name the time you set aside Start a timer with a task — writing, laundry, one more chapter. The task menu keeps the ones you’ve used recently, so picking a familiar one takes a single tap, and a new one is a line of text away. The task stays on screen while the timer runs, on the widget, and on the Live Activity. ◎ A machine with your finish on it Choose the theme colors and the countdown font. Ember is built to be looked at for long stretches, so it should look the way you like. ◎ When time is up, you’ll know The alarm rings when the timer expires, and a snooze buys you a few more minutes when you need them. Prefer something gentler? Choose a notification instead. Alarms are available on iOS 26.1 and later. ◎ Works without being touched Start, pause, resume, or reset the timer from Shortcuts — ask Siri or press the Action Button, no unlocking required. On iOS 27, Siri understands Ember’s timer directly: “set a 25-minute timer in Ember”, “pause my timer”, no shortcut needed. You can also read the timer’s status from Shortcuts in plain, full sentences, and build automations around it. ◎ In view, wherever you are Keep the timer on your Home Screen with widgets, or set your iPhone down and watch it in large print in StandBy. Desk or pocket, Ember stays where you can see it.
