Ember vs Stayed

Stop mindless scrolling. Take back your day. Meet Ember, your personal focus companion. Most app blockers fail because they are cold, boring, or easy to switch off the moment an urge hits. Ember changes that by combining unbreakable Apple Screen Time blocking with a warm, gamified sanctuary you will actually love opening. Whether you need to study for exams, enter deep work at the office, or disconnect before sleep, Ember shields your attention so you can be fully present.
