Ember is your own AI assistant: for the people around you, for your inner world, and for everything you would rather not forget. ① SAY ONE LINE, THE AI DOES THE REST "Remind me to call Mum on Sunday." "James just moved to Berlin." Speak it or type it, and Ember writes it down and sets the reminder itself. Ask it anything: whose birthday falls this month, who you have not seen in a while, what you talked about last time you met. Every morning it suggests who to check in on today. It keeps its own memory of you, and you can open that memory and edit or delete any single line of it whenever you want. ② UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND OTHERS THROUGH THE CHARTS Tu Vi, Bazi, Numerology, Human Design, the Western birth chart and Tarot. Read for yourself, for anyone you add, and for how well two people fit together. Tarot draws on what Ember has remembered about you, and you decide whether that is switched on. For the charts you can ask the assistant directly and hear what they mean for your own situation. There is also a short sky reading written for today alone. ③ KEEP A JOURNAL One line is enough. How today felt, what just happened, what is on your mind. There are templates if you do not know where to start, a calendar to look back across the month, and the assistant can read your older entries when you ask. ④ AN INTERFACE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO OPEN YOUR PHONE Colour themes, a separate wallpaper for each screen, and the typeface you like. Every morning brings a line worth thinking about, on the topics you choose: connection, family, friendship, stillness. Widgets go on your home screen and your lock screen. ⑤ KEEP THE WHOLE PICTURE OF A PERSON Contact details, your own custom fields, family relationships, a private photo album, a history of everything you did together, and a ledger for money and gifts. Sort people into groups and circles, and hand over a contact card by QR code when you need to. ⑥ YOUR INNER CIRCLE Pin the few people who matter most to the top. A warmth indicator shows who you have just looked after and who is drifting, with statistics so you can see it over time. ⑦ BIRTHDAYS, PLANS, ANNIVERSARIES Set a reminder that repeats weekly or monthly, just by saying it out loud. See them all on one calendar, arriving when they should and staying quiet otherwise. ⑧ CONNECT TO CHATGPT AND CLAUDE Ember opens an MCP standard endpoint so the assistant you already use can read your data when you allow it. Ask about the people you love from inside ChatGPT, Claude or any other MCP app. Switch it on and off whenever you like. ⑨ ENCRYPTED END TO END Cloud sync, end to end encrypted with a passphrase only you hold. Ember cannot read your encrypted data. Back it up, export it or wipe it at any time. The encrypted servers are in Singapore. PRICING Free to start, forever. Pro and Ultra unlock more when you need it. Cancel any time. Reading Tickets: buy a ticket once to unlock an in-depth chart reading.

"Good writing is proportional to clear thinking." Bad writing isn't caused by a poor vocabulary. It happens when your logic isn't clear before you start writing. ThinkFrame doesn't write for you — it asks you the right questions to clear your thinking first. ■ Who it's for · People who freeze when starting a report or proposal · Anyone who's heard "What's your point?" one too many times · Professionals who tried AI writing tools but got polished-sounding fluff · Anyone who wants to build a habit of structured thinking ■ How it works 1. Choose a report type (7 types available) 2. Answer the AI coach's questions in your own words 3. Your report skeleton builds itself as you talk Use it before a meeting. Before an important email. As a thinking partner. ■ Report Types · Incident Report (situation → prevention) · Review Report (background → conclusion) · Proposal (problem → impact → risks) · Progress Report (goal → next actions) · SCQA Framework (Situation → Answer) · STAR Method (for interviews and presentations) · Presentation Skeleton (audience → objections + slide outline) ■ Three Depth Levels · Quick: Get the big picture in 5 minutes · Standard: Fill in the 5W1H carefully · Thorough: MECE check, So What?, logic gap detection Level up as your thinking gets sharper. ■ Track Your Growth Your "Self-Run Rate" — the percentage of sections you filled before being asked — is recorded each session. Watch the coach ask fewer questions over time. That's your thinking structure becoming your own. ■ PrivacyMask for Business Use Names, company names, model numbers, and IP addresses are replaced with symbols on-device before sending. "John Smith" becomes "[Person A]." Your sensitive data never leaves your device. Bring your real work problems, not sanitized examples. ■ Subscription First few sessions are free. ThinkFrame Pro unlocks unlimited sessions, logic evaluation, PDF export, and growth tracking. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
