A native journal for iPad.

The iPad is where you read back. On the couch, on a slow Sunday, with time to wander through who you have been writing about and what happened with them. Ember on iPad is built for that: the whole life archive, laid out with room to breathe.

The full app, not a stretched phone

Ember on iPad looks and works like Ember on the Mac. The sidebar holds your views, your worlds and your tags. The journal shows your entries beside the page you are reading. Every feature is here, nothing trimmed down for a smaller device.

• The Graph. Your people as a living map, grouped into the worlds they belong to. Tap anyone to open everything you have ever written about them.
• The Journal. Type @ and a name, and the entry belongs to that person forever. Gather entries into Stories that span years.
• The Feed and Nudge. The Feed brings back what you wrote a year ago today. The Nudge page shows the people who have gone quiet, next to your own last words about them.

Bring a keyboard, if you like

Attach a keyboard and the Mac shortcuts come with you: ⌘K to search your whole archive, ⌘L to log a moment with someone, ⌘N to create anything. Without one, everything is a tap away.

One archive across your devices

Ember is one app on your Mac, iPhone and iPad. With Ember Plus, they stay in step through your own iCloud, so the line you caught on your phone this afternoon is on your iPad tonight. There is no Ember server in the middle, no account to create, and no AI reading a word. Your journal is an open JSON archive you can export whenever you want.
