About

Emberheaven

Read full description

Emberheaven is a quiet, cross-faith memorial app for remembering a loved one or a beloved pet with a lasting light in a shared sky — like a memorial candle that never burns out. Their light never goes out. When grief has no clear place to go—a cemetery is far away, an online memorial feels like an archive, or a social post disappears—Emberheaven gives remembrance a gentler home. Return whenever you miss them, without streaks, points, ads, or pressure. CREATE A MEMORIAL LIGHT — FREE • Create up to 10 public memorial lights • Add a name, color, remembrance date, and the public display name you want others to see • Visit a light you created or help keep and write memories on its private memory wall • Remember every light you created or help keep with one quiet daily gesture • Set an optional daily reminder for a quiet moment of remembrance • When signed in, pause at another public light and offer a silent, anonymous blessing — warmth, never a message • Create and share a peaceful video of your sky A SKY YOU DO NOT STAND UNDER ALONE In the Public sky, memorial lights drift through a field of gentle light—a visual reminder that remembrance is shared. When another person’s public light moves you, leave a silent blessing. It arrives anonymously as warmth and presence, never an invitation to chat. KEEP ONE LIGHT TOGETHER Create a private Family or Friends light with Emberheaven+, then invite loved ones by link, QR code, or invite code. Invited keepers join free. They can visit the same light, leave signed memories on one shared wall, and remember together from anywhere. Only the creator can edit or remove the light. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Only the chosen public display name, the light’s color, and its remembrance count appear in the Public sky • Dates, photos, written memories, and account identity are never displayed in the Public sky • Within Emberheaven, full Family and Friends memorial spaces are accessible only to their creator and active keepers • If you choose to represent a private light in the Public sky, the same limited public details apply • No ads, no streaks, no points, no public chat, and no profiling analytics EMBERHEAVEN+ — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Emberheaven+ is an optional one-time in-app purchase. There is no subscription or auto-renewal. • Create private Family and Friends lights • Keep unlimited public and private lights • Add photos and yearly reminders for meaningful dates to private lights • Invite family and friends to keep a light together • Choose from all premium backgrounds • Upload up to 5 custom backgrounds for each scene • Use Restore Purchases if your Emberheaven+ unlock does not appear FOR EVERY KIND OF REMEMBRANCE Light a candle in loving memory of a parent, partner, or friend, or create a pet memorial for a beloved dog or cat. Emberheaven is here for recent loss, a meaningful anniversary, or an ordinary night when someone is missed. It welcomes every belief, and asks only that you remember. Light one tonight. They are not gone—only made of light. Privacy Policy: https://emberheaven.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
