Every moment is a glimmer. LastEmber is a quiet place to leave a fleeting moment, discover fragments of life from far away, and feel how a few words can travel across the world. LEAVE A MOMENT Write what happened, add an optional image, and send your Moment into the Cosmos. Moments are designed to be brief and meaningful rather than permanent by default. DISCOVER THE COSMOS Explore moments left by people in different places. Each one is a small glimpse into another life — a late walk home, a light left on in the window, a memory that almost faded. FEEL WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLY Double-tap when a Moment resonates with you. Press and hold when you feel a deeper connection. LastEmber is built around quiet acknowledgement, without public comments, follower counts, or pressure to perform. SEE WHERE YOUR MOMENT WAS FELT View the countries and cities where people connected with your Moment. World Echo turns those distant responses into a gentle visual trace. SHARE A DIGITAL KEEPSAKE Create a beautifully designed share card from a Moment. You can also include its World Echo to show how far it has traveled. MOMENTS THAT FADE Most Moments naturally dissolve after 30 days. This keeps LastEmber focused on what is present now, rather than building an endless public archive. LASTEMBER PREMIUM Premium preserves eligible Moments beyond their standard 30-day lifetime. Monthly and annual plans are available as auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Previously preserved Moments remain protected according to the preservation rules shown in the app. Restore Purchases is available inside the app. Privacy Policy: https://lastember-legal.vercel.app/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: https://lastember-legal.vercel.app/cosmic-pact.html
