Ember: Journal & Life Archive

Most journals keep events in the order they happened. Ember keeps the people. Type @
and a name while you write, and that entry joins the person's page, next to how you
met, the stories you share and every moment you wrote down. Over the years the journal
becomes a life archive, organised around the people who mattered.

Worlds group the circles you move in (family, work, college), and Stories hold chapters
that span years. The Feed brings back moments on the right day, like a year since you
met someone, and when a person you care about has been quiet too long, they gently
surface, with no streaks and no guilt. A Map shows where memories happened, and on Mac
and iPad a Graph shows everyone at once, gathered into the worlds you share.

Ember imports Day One and Apple Journal libraries, with photos, video and audio, and
finds the people already named in old entries. Entries support Markdown, photos, voice
memos and songs from Apple Music.

Ember is local-first. The journal lives on your device, locks with Face ID, Touch ID or
a passcode, and syncs only through your own iCloud. There is no Ember account and no
Ember server. Ember has no AI: it never reads, writes or summarises a word of your
journal. Everything can be exported at any time as an open, documented archive.
