The method & sources
Ember's coaching isn't invented — it's drawn from published, cited research and practice. Never a wall of text; short tips right where they're useful.
Ember is a private focus companion, not a website blocker or an app-locker — it can’t force your phone to stop pinging. It gives you a structure and a ritual, and keeps your focus data on your device, always.
Free forever — every feature, no account, no ads. Free for students, teachers, study groups, and nonprofits, no permission needed. Know someone who could use a calmer way to focus? Pass it along.
