Keep a small fire alive. Emberkeep is a cozy campfire you tend whenever you like. Tap to fan the flames, feed it twigs and logs, and watch it glow against the night. The fire slowly fades while you're away โ€” so drop by, warm your hands, and keep it burning. A calm little world to return to: โ€ข Tend the flame โ€” tap to stoke, add fuel, keep it from going cold โ€ข Gather & forage โ€” wood grows back over time, or collect it yourself โ€ข Weather rolls in โ€” rain, wind and snow change the mood and the fire โ€ข Catch rare wonders โ€” aurora, shooting stars, fireflies, comets and more to discover and collect โ€ข Unlock & decorate โ€” flame colours, new places (forest, beach, mountains) and cozy keepsakes to arrange around your fire โ€ข A gentle daily visit โ€” a small gift each new day, never a demand โ€ข Lives on your Lock Screen โ€” watch your fire glow in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, fading in real time No timers screaming at you. No "your fire is DYING!!!" guilt-trips. Just warm, honest reminders and a quiet place to come back to. Made to feel calm. Play for a minute, or sit for a while.
