Ember - Break Your Phone Habit

App Blocker & Focus Timer

Features & Capabilities

You're about to check Instagram. Again. Ember stops you—before you even unlock the app. Pick your AI accountability partner and actually finish what you started.

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.

User Reviews

This app is extremely helpful in controlling my phone usage. Especially during studying and other times of focus it helps tremendously.
by Ej*****, 2026-04-23

Really helpful study app for staying focused. I like that it blocks distracting apps while I’m working, and the 5-minute mind break games every 30 minutes are a nice reset without completely derailing my focus. It makes studying feel a lot more manageable and keeps me off my phone when I need to lock in.

This is a great app for studying for those annoying tests. It has even helped me stay locked in on other productive things I want to do throughout the day. Highly recommend it, especially since it doesn’t feel like you are trapped as you set your own goals.
