Ember - Recall Your Highlights

Snap a page, save a quote, review with a swipe. Spaced-repetition reading highlights that live on your device — sync via iCloud, no account needed.

Ember is a local-first app for collecting, reviewing, and annotating the highlights from everything you read. Spaced repetition brings the right quote back at the right moment, so the books you finish keep working long after you close them.

Your library lives on your device. Sync with iCloud if you want it. No account, no servers, no tracking.

DAILY REVIEW THAT FEELS GOOD

A swipe-driven card stack surfaces the highlights worth revisiting today. The review schedule balances new material with old, so a thousand-highlight library stays useful instead of overwhelming.

• Swipe right to mark reviewed, left to skip, up to star
• Haptic feedback on every gesture
• Intervals grow as you remember, shrink when you forget
• Streaks and a weekly progress view keep you coming back

CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE

• Snap a page with your camera and pull the text out, perfect for physical books
• Import Kindle clippings in one step, with duplicate detection
• Add a highlight by hand in a few taps
• Lock Screen widgets for one-tap capture without unlocking

ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK

• Group highlights by source: books, articles, podcasts, anything
• Tag and color-code by topic
• Add notes to any highlight or source, with timestamps
• Star the ones you want to find again

SHARE WITH STYLE

Export any highlight as a themed quote card, with elegant typography and a palette that matches the app. Send it to a friend, post it, or save it for yourself.

AT HOME ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE

Designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac for fast navigation. Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets on iPhone. Everything stays in sync through iCloud, on your terms.

YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES

Ember does not require an account. Your highlights live on your device and sync only through your private iCloud. Export everything anytime as a plain file you can read in any text editor. Delete the app and your data goes with it.

Ember is for readers who want their highlights to stay theirs, and to keep working for them. Make revisiting knowledge a joy rather than a chore.
