Embering is a one-quote-a-day companion built around a simple ritual: each morning, a single line arrives — from André, Mary-Anne, poetry, or scripture — and stays with you through the day. One line, kept glowing. VOICES Follow your favorite writers or turn to poetry and ancient wisdom for variation. A new voice takes its turn each day, so your line never repeats. REMEMBER, DON'T JUST READ Three gentle spaced-repetition check-ins through the day help a line actually stick — not one more thing you scroll past and forget. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A home-screen and lock-screen widget keeps today's line where you'll actually see it, refreshed automatically. QUIET BY DESIGN No feed. No likes. No infinite scroll. Just one line, and the space to sit with it. Founding Readers — anyone who installs before the cutoff — keep every feature free for life: the memory coach, all widget styles, streaks, and the ability to save your own affirmations.
