A focus timer that actually blocks.

Ember shields the apps that pull at you through Apple's Screen Time — during focus, not during breaks, cycle after cycle, all by itself. Light the flame once; the next tap you owe is when the session is done.

Real shields. Not nudges.

Chosen apps show a block screen drawn by iOS itself, with your own intention on it and the minutes left until it lifts.

Cycles run themselves.

Breaks drop the shields; the next round brings them back — even with Ember closed. The flame burns in the Dynamic Island.

Soft, Firm, Strict. You choose.

A door for gentle days, a ten-second hold for firm ones, and a real lock for the days a nudge won't do — with an honest emergency exit.

Milestones, never guilt.

Earned flames stay earned. Broken sessions log honestly, the streak forgives a rest day, and nothing you build can be destroyed.

$19.99 once. Not $99 a year.

No subscription exists in the app. No servers either — your sessions never leave your phone.
