A home for your days.

A home for the life you share.

A home for the few of you.

A private album that keeps its own calendar. Plan what's ahead, then keep a photo and a few words after. Come back whenever you want.

A shared album that keeps its own calendar. Plan what's ahead, then keep the photos and stories after. Find your way back whenever you want.

A private album for a small group, on one calendar. Plan what's ahead, then keep the photos and stories after. Find your way back whenever you want.

A private timeline of your own.

Plans, photos, and stories of your own. Nobody else can see them. You can invite someone later.

A shared timeline built for two.

This is the shape Ember was designed around. You'll both see who added which photo and who wrote which line, and neither of you has to do the archiving for it to work.

Up to four people, for friends, family, or partners.

Holidays, trips, and the traditions a group keeps coming back to. Private notes and timed shares still work the same way.

A plan becomes an ember

The same Friday, three times. Warming while it's ahead, glowing once it's passed, and an ember after you've written it down.

A plan becomes an ember

The same Friday, three times. Warming while it's ahead, glowing once it's passed, and an ember after somebody writes it down.

  1. Warming. A day still ahead with something on it. A place and a time, or one word you fill in later.

    warming Friday

    Ramen after work

    The plan said

    Wabi House at 7:00. Sit at the bar, bring the book.

  2. Glowing. The day has been and gone, and nobody has written it up. It sits there as long as you like.

    The story

    Nothing written yet. It waits.

  3. Ember. A photo, a few words, or a voice note, and the day is banked. The product is named for this part.

    The story

    Sat at the bar and read four pages. Far too loud to read. Stayed until they started stacking the chairs anyway.

    Belle was right about the wait. Forty minutes on the sidewalk, and nobody minded once the bowls came out.

Plans fall through. Fade one and the day stays on the calendar, quiet, with nothing owed on it. You can rekindle it later and still keep it as an ember.

The plan, the story, and the asides

Three kinds of writing, all on the same day. What you meant to do, what actually happened, and the throwaway line you would not have written down anywhere else.

Three kinds of writing, all on the same day. What you meant to do, what actually happened, and the throwaway line one of you still quotes. Each one carries the name of whoever wrote it.

The plan said

Going peach picking!

The story

It is not an orchard. It is a storefront, with fresh peaches at the counter and a case of homemade peach everything behind it. I got the ice cream and a bag for the drive.

Asides

The orchard is for the internet. There are no peaches to pick.

We're gonna go peach picking!

The story

Rosie

It turned out to be a storefront, not an orchard. Fresh peaches at the counter and a whole case of homemade peach things behind it. We got the ice cream and ate it in the car with the doors open.

One photo is enough

Most of what Ember needs is already in the picture. It reads the date and the place, so a photo from Saturday lands on Saturday.

Walked up the hill before dinner and the whole valley went orange.

Two people, one question

Double Take asks one question about a day and you answer it separately. Your answer seals the moment you write it, hidden from the other one, and stays sealed until they have written theirs. Then both open at once, so neither version got shaped by reading the other.

One question, answered apart

Double Take asks one question about a day and everyone answers separately. Each answer seals as it is written and stays hidden until enough of you have answered. Then they all open at once, so nobody's version got shaped by reading someone else's.

What do you remember that no one photographed?

  1. Rosie· Aug 2

    The wind came up right as the sun went, and neither of us said anything for a while.

  2. Ralph· Aug 3

    How fast it got cold. I walked back for the blanket and missed the last of it.

Wander back through it

Four years since that morning, and there it is. Wander is where your own history comes back to you: this date in other years, the days around it, then somewhere further back. You go looking for it. It never comes looking for you.

Ate the po boy on the curb. Messy, and worth doing again.

Ember Frame

An old tablet on a shelf, or a TV you cast to. It plays through the days you've kept while you are doing something else, and every so often one of them stops you on your way past.

Yours, always

Your mantel is private to the people you invite.

Download everything you've kept whenever you want. Your original photos, and the writing as plain text you can read without Ember.

Delete a memory or your whole account, and Ember tells you what goes with it before you confirm.

Embers are always free, there's no cap on how many memories you plan, keep, or how many photos or videos you add to them.

Start with something small

Plan this weekend, or add a photo you already have.
