Closer vs Ember

FOUND SOMEONE YOU LOVE? If you managed to find someone you love while passing through the craziness of modern dating, straddling your work and social life, then congratulations! You’re on such a beautiful journey of love and life together :) But why does your world with your partner still look the same as it does with everybody? Why shouldn't your relationship get a space that's truly built just for the two of you? What if you could express love and communicate what's on your mind, create memories from your dates, and have fun everyday? WAIT...BUT WHY DO WE NEED A NEW SPACE? Love is what happens you’re sitting together on a cozy couch in a living room, filled with laughter, wine, teasing & conversations. And love needs a space of its own to keep growing. As you keep grinding through work and a hundred other uncertainties in life as a couple, you need a space you can always come back to, to feel the love, warmth & joy of your partner :) We’ve designed the Closer experience so that your relationship finally gets its own space on the internet, and you can live your ‘modern love’ life in all its flavors & complexity. Whether it’s your amazing gym session, a hearty breakfast, a beautiful sunset, a blurry date night, or just a plain boring day at work, we hope you create, share, and cherish memories of love, despair, and everything in between. We'll be always rooting for your love! WHO CAN USE CLOSER?

Ember is a relationship wellness app for couples who want to stay close - not just fix things when they go wrong. Most couples don't fall apart dramatically. They just get busy - and the small moments that kept them close quietly disappear. Ember gives those moments back. A Spark on the couch before bed. A check-in that takes ten minutes and actually covers something real. A question that takes you somewhere you didn't expect. Relationships do better with regular attention. Ember is the tending. ***Meet Em*** Em was created by Ellie Baker, a couples coach and Ember's founder. She's the AI at the heart of the app - sharp, warm, and built on real relationship expertise. She brings a systems-thinking perspective to your relationship, spotting patterns before drift becomes distance. ***Key Features*** Sparks Short prompts you and your partner answer separately, then compare. You don't see their answer until you've done yours. Takes minutes - gets you past the logistics and into something real. Talk to Em Voice or text conversations with Em, available whenever you need her. Talk to her solo to think something through privately - what you share stays between you and her. Or bring her in as a couple when you have something specific to work through together. Em keeps things on track and sends a useful summary at the end. Set up a recurring relationship check-in and Em handles the structure so you actually cover what matters, not just what's top of mind. Plans Guided programs on communication, conflict, and connection. Each chapter pairs short expert content with something to actually do - a conversation with Em, a challenge, or a nudge. Work through them at your own pace. Quizzes Find out something new about yourself and your partner. Start with the Love Animals Quiz - discover your relationship personality type, whether you're the dolphin, the hawk, or one of six others - and understand what drives you both. ***What you’ll get*** - Playful, lighthearted, straightforward practices that take less time than scrolling Instagram. - See your patterns clearly enough to actually change them. - A habit that builds quietly - without it feeling like work. **Subscription Information** Ember offers an auto-renewing 1-month and annual subscription – both of which give you full access to the entire library of content, app features and two hours of talk time with Em per month for as long as you maintain an active subscription.
