When you're getting close, Ember sends a gentle nudge. No aggressive blocks. No shame. Just a reminder that you set this limit for a reason. Every day you stay within your limit counts. Watch your streak grow. Notice the patterns. See exactly when and how much you use each app. WHAT EMBER DOES - Tracks time spent in apps you choose - Sends mindful reminders before you hit your limit - Shows your daily and weekly usage with clear charts - Builds a streak for every day you stay in control - Syncs your progress across devices with iCloud - Works in the background using Apple's Screen Time WHAT EMBER DOESN'T DO - Block your apps - Judge you for a bad day - Sell your data or show you ads - Share anything outside your device Your data stays on your device. Ember uses Apple's Screen Time framework - we never see or store your usage data. One mindful day at a time.
