Focused Work
Work with the time you actually have. No time tracking. No pressure. Just focused execution.
Built for real schedules
Ember is designed for the reality of modern work: interruptions happen, time is limited, and priorities shift. Focused Work helps you choose what matters today and make visible progress without pretending you have an 8-hour uninterrupted block.
Progress without performance pressure
No streaks, no gamification, no charts that make you feel behind. Just calm structure that helps you decide what to do next and finish it.
What you get
- Choose what to focus on intentionally
- Keep momentum without time tracking
- Stay calm when priorities change
Clear Tasks
Simple task types and clear statuses to keep work easy to follow.
Legible work, not a complicated system
Tasks should be easy to scan and easy to maintain. Ember keeps task structure simple so you can spend time doing the work instead of managing the tool.
Clarity for you and your team
Clear statuses reduce miscommunication. Everyone sees what’s happening, what’s blocked, and what’s done, without needing constant updates.
What you get
- Simple statuses that match how people think
- Less overhead to keep plans up to date
- A calm source of truth for progress
Calm Views
See your work in boards, lists, calendars, or milestones without clutter.
The right view at the right time
Different work needs different perspectives. Ember gives you the views you need to plan and execute, without turning your workspace into a dashboard full of widgets.
Designed to reduce cognitive load
Views stay clean and purposeful so you can understand what’s going on in seconds and get back to shipping.
What you get
- Board for flow
- List for detail
- Calendar and milestones for planning
Focus Allocation
Set focus percentages per project to understand priorities and protect your attention.
Priorities that are visible
Focus Allocation turns the fuzzy question of “what matters most?” into something you can actually see. It helps you align daily choices with your priorities without micromanaging time.
Protect your attention
When everything is urgent, nothing is. Focus Allocation helps you prevent silent scope creep by making tradeoffs explicit.
What you get
- Make tradeoffs explicit
- Keep projects aligned with priorities
- Reduce context switching
Collaboration Without Stress
Teams check in intentionally, not reactively, with shared clarity instead of constant chatter.
Pull-based collaboration
Ember is built around the idea that focus is valuable. Collaboration should support the work, not interrupt it. Share context, clarify decisions, and keep everyone aligned, without turning your day into notifications.
Shared workspaces everyone can understand
When the structure is clear, you don’t need to constantly explain what’s happening. Ember keeps the team aligned through legible work, not messages.
What you get
- Shared workspaces everyone can see
- Clear ownership for each project
- Simple, human access control
Privacy-First by Design
Ember is not a data product. No tracking, no ads, no AI trained on your content.
Your work stays yours
Ember is built to be sustainable without surveillance. We don’t build behavior profiles, we don’t sell data, and we don’t run invasive analytics that compromise trust.
Calm software is respectful software
Privacy isn’t a feature you toggle on. It’s a design principle. Ember is built to respect your attention and your data by default.
What you get
- No behavioral analytics
- No session replay
- No ads, no tracking, no data brokerage
