About this app

The only focus app that makes your breaks worth taking. Ember blocks distracting apps the moment your session starts. When your break hits, it unlocks mini games — quick, satisfying hits that reset your brain without losing your momentum. Work hard. Break smart. Lock back in. HOW EMBER WORKS 1. Set your goal. Type what you're working on — "essay draft," "design sprint," anything. 2. Lock in. Ember blocks Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — whatever kills your focus — for the full session. Your apps come back when you're done. 3. Earn your break. Every 25 minutes, your break unlocks. Play a quick game, get a real mental reset, and go again. BREAK GAMES THAT ACTUALLY WORK Most focus apps just... make you sit there. Ember gives your brain what it actually wants during a break — a small win, a quick challenge, a real dopamine hit — so you come back sharper, not restless. This is the Pomodoro method done right. TRACK YOUR STREAK See your focus sessions, daily streak, and total hours in one view. The longer your streak, the harder it is to stop. BUILT FOR - Students who need to actually study - Remote workers who lose hours to their phone - ADHD brains that need structured breaks, not just willpower - Anyone who opens TikTok "for 2 minutes" and loses an hour Ember uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps on-device. We never see which apps you block.
