Most dreams are gone five minutes after waking. Ember is built for those five minutes. Speak it or type it — a place, a feeling, a few fragments is enough. Ember turns it into something you can return to: a title, an original illustration, and an interpretation that takes the dream seriously. CAPTURE IT BEFORE IT FADES Hold the button and talk, or write it out if you'd rather. No forms, no decisions before coffee. Every entry is kept exactly as you left it, whether or not you ever decode it. AN INTERPRETATION, NOT A FORTUNE A decoded dream names its symbols and reads them against what you were actually carrying that day — not a dictionary definition. It tells you which of the nine Jungian archetypes turned up, the Trickster, the Shadow, the Threshold Guardian, and it ends with one question worth sitting with. SEE WHAT YOU DREAMED Every dream becomes an original illustration in a style you choose: Surrealist Oil, Japanese Woodblock, Cosmic Watercolor, Vintage Tarot, Art Nouveau, Dark Fantasy, Neon Dreamscape or Animation. NOTICE WHAT KEEPS COMING BACK Threads finds the symbols, figures and places that return across weeks and months — the staircase you have climbed eleven times, the house that is always your grandmother's. This is where keeping a dream journal starts to pay off, and Ember does the noticing for you. FOR LUCID DREAMERS Mark lucid dreams, nightmares, out-of-body experiences and false awakenings. Watch a lucidity score move over time, build recall with a morning reminder, and let your dream signs surface out of your own history. KEPT PRIVATE Your entries are stored encrypted with AES-256, and you can lock the app behind a private pattern. Your circle sees only your most recent dream, only if you have added friends — hide any single dream, or switch sharing off entirely. ALSO INSIDE • Weekly insights and trends drawn from your own entries • A symbol library that grows as you dream • A journal you can name, give a cover, and read like a book • Streaks, levels and milestones for keeping the habit • Home Screen widget • English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese EMBER PREMIUM Ember is free as a dream journal — record or write as many dreams as you like, for as long as you like. Your first three dreams are decoded free. Premium unlocks unlimited interpretations, illustrations and insights. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
