Ember helps you stop drinking and stay sober — not with another day-counter, but with a warm companion who sits with you through the hard moments. When a craving hits, Ember is right there: a calm, private coach for the 2am kind of night a streak counter can't reach. KEEP YOUR FLAME LIT Your sober time is a single flame you tend. It breathes while you're lit, dims to a coal when a craving hits, and relights the moment you get through it. Your day count is simply how long it's stayed burning. A COACH FOR THE MOMENT THE URGE HITS Tap "I'm having an urge" any time, day or night. Ember sits with you through it — a short, grounded conversation plus one coping tool that fits the moment: an urge-surf timer, breathing, play-the-tape, or your own reasons for stopping. The urge passes. The flame relights. PRIVATE BY DESIGN — NO FEED, NO ACCOUNT No public community. No feed to doom-scroll. No sign-up. Your recovery is yours: everything stays on your device, and you can start in the first five seconds. Trust is the whole point. A RESET WITHOUT SHAME If you drink, Ember never shames you. The flame gently goes out, and we relight it — that's all this ever is. Your history and journal are always kept. No lost streaks, no punishment. SEE WHAT SOBRIETY GIVES BACK Watch your sober days, the money you've saved, and the time you've reclaimed add up. Reach milestones — 1 day, 1 week, 30, 60, 90 — with a warm flare, and share a flame card if you want to. BUILT FOR ALCOHOL, ON PURPOSE Ember is for stopping drinking and staying sober — not moderation, not "drink less," not a twelve-step program. One focused job, done with care. A GENTLE NOTE ON SAFETY If you drink heavily, please talk to a doctor before stopping — alcohol withdrawal can be serious. Ember is a companion, not medical treatment, and it will always point you toward real help, including 988 and SAMHSA, in a crisis. EMBER PRO Everything you need to get sober is free forever: the flame, your counter, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, the craving coach, core coping tools, milestones, and the compassionate reset. Ember Pro unlocks unlimited coaching, personalized daily reflections tuned to your triggers, an Apple Watch flame, Face ID lock, and iCloud backup — $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time $79.99 for lifetime. Monthly is $7.99. Keep your flame lit.
