Ember is a simple Pomodoro timer for turning study and work goals into completed sessions. Set a daily target, choose your work and break lengths, and see your focused time add up. SET YOUR MISSION Tell Ember what you're working towards and how many sessions you'll commit to each day. Ember turns that into a daily target and tracks how far through your mission you are. A TIMER THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST Start a session and lock in. Ember stays out of your way while you work and alerts you the moment your block ends โ€” even if your screen is off โ€” so you never have to keep checking the clock. MADE TO FIT YOUR RHYTHM Set your own focus, short break and long break lengths. Adjust the alarm volume. Tag sessions by project so you can see exactly where your hours went. SEE THE WORK STACK UP Your stats show total sessions and total focused time against your daily goal. The calendar view breaks it down day by day, so progress stops being a feeling and starts being a record. PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Sign in and your sessions, settings and goals stay with you across devices. WHY 25 MINUTES The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Work is split into short, protected blocks with deliberate recovery in between โ€” long enough to get somewhere, short enough to start. Four sessions, then a longer break. Ember Premium unlocks unlimited sessions, streaks and full progress insights. Keep the fire burning. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

BoxFind

Find what you packed away. BoxFind helps you record what's inside your storage boxes and where you put them. When you need something, search its name and see the box and location together. RECORD A BOX Give each box a name and an optional location, such as a cupboard or shelf. Add a photo to recognize it at a glance, or keep everything text-only. ADD ITEMS QUICKLY Enter one item per line and save them together. Rename, move or delete items when your belongings change. FIND YOUR BELONGINGS Search item names, box names and location labels. Open a matching box to see its contents and photo. Recording and searching your local inventory work offline. KEEP A COMPLETE BACKUP Export saved boxes, items and photos to Files. Restore a supported BoxFind backup when you need it. Restoring replaces the inventory on that device; export a backup before deleting the app or changing phones. Unsaved drafts and purchases are excluded from inventory backups. START WITH THREE BOXES Three boxes are free, with unlimited text items. Photos, search and complete backups are included for everyone. The optional BoxFind Lifetime purchase lets you add more boxes with a one-time payment and no subscription. Apple displays the price for your region. Losing purchase access never hides or deletes your existing inventory. YOUR INVENTORY STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No BoxFind account or inventory cloud sync is required. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchase services; those services use an internet connection. Manual backup destinations and device backup services are under your control. Questions? Contact lahbibdev@gmail.com.

Verdict

The call

Ember and BoxFind are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
