Protect the whole vault with Face ID or your device passcode. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to share it. SHARE ON YOUR TERMS Export any note as rich text or plain text and send it wherever you need it, or back up your entire vault at once from Settings. STAY ON TRACK Turn on a daily reminder so a good idea never slips away. Idea Vault is free to use, with optional ads you can remove forever with a single one time purchase. No subscriptions, no accounts, no clutter. Just a fast, private place for your best ideas.

Ember Pomodoro is a beautifully minimal focus timer built around a visual, analog-style dial — inspired by the classic Time Timer. Watch your remaining time as a vivid red arc, drag the dial to set your session, and let Ember guide you through deep work and intentional rest. WHETHER YOU'RE A STUDENT OR A PROFESSIONAL, Ember adapts to how you work. Use it as a free-form countdown timer, or switch on Pomodoro mode to cycle through focused work sessions and automatic breaks — all without thinking about it. VISUAL TIMER DIAL The centerpiece of Ember is a large, satisfying circular dial. A red arc fills the clock face to show exactly how much time remains — shrinking in real time as you work. Drag the handle to set your time, just like winding an analog clock. POMODORO MODE Toggle into Pomodoro mode and Ember automatically transitions from your focus session into a break timer when time is up. Customize your break duration in Settings. A subtle session label ("Focus" / "Break") keeps you oriented throughout the cycle. AMBIENT WHITE NOISE Stay in the zone with built-in white noise. Choose from Rain, Pink noise, or White noise — all looping seamlessly in the background. Adjust the volume independently from your system volume, so it sits perfectly under your concentration. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Never miss the end of a session. Ember delivers a notification the moment your timer ends — whether you're in the app, on another screen, or have your phone in your pocket. CLEAN & CUSTOMIZABLE - Light and Dark mode support - Adjustable alert sounds - Independent white noise volume control - Persistent settings across launches - No subscriptions. No ads. Just focus. Ember is for anyone who wants to work with intention — one session at a time.
