Frequently Asked Questions

Ember uses iCloud to sync your habits across all your Apple devices. Make sure all your devices are signed into the same Apple ID and that iCloud is enabled.

You can turn iCloud sync on or off in Settings → Data within the app. After enabling it, give the app a moment to sync, especially on first use.

Ember has a dedicated Vacation Mode to protect your streaks while you are away.

You can access it in Settings → Premium → Vacation Planning. Set the dates of your trip and all your habit streaks will be frozen for that period. Your progress resumes normally when you return.

Your Ember purchase is tied to your Apple ID, not your device.

Sign in with the same Apple ID, open Ember, then tap your premium status in Settings to open the purchase screen and tap Restore Purchases.

Yes. When editing a habit, you can set a daily target greater than 1. For example, drinking 8 glasses of water or doing 50 push-ups.

In the main habit list, tap the right side of a habit to increment your count and the left side to decrement it. The streak counts as complete once you hit your daily target.

Ember offers two layers of backup. Enabling iCloud Sync (Settings → Data) keeps your data automatically backed up to your iCloud account.

You can also create a manual backup file any time by going to Settings → Data → Export Backup and saving the file to iCloud Drive, Files, or sharing it elsewhere.

Reminders are set per habit. Edit any habit and open the Reminders section to add one or more reminder times.

Ember's smart reminders will automatically skip sending a notification if you have already completed that habit for the day, so you only get reminded when you actually need it.

As you build your login streak, Ember rewards you with unique app icons. There are 14 tiers to unlock:

Wood (Day 3) → Coal (Day 7) → Quartz (Day 14) → Bronze (Day 30) → Silver (Day 50) → Gold (Day 75) → Purple Gold (Day 100) → Ruby (Day 150) → Sapphire (Day 250) → Topaz (Day 365) → Emerald (Day 500) → Diamond (Day 730) → Mythical (Day 875) → Legend (Day 1,000)

Ember offers three options: weekly, monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Choose what works for you.

The lifetime option means you pay once and keep it forever. Subscriptions can be managed through your Apple ID settings.

Yes. Ember offers a one-time lifetime purchase option, as well as weekly and monthly subscriptions if you prefer. With the lifetime option you pay once and keep Ember forever, unlike many habit apps that are subscription-only.

Ember is a strong option if you want to avoid recurring fees. It offers a one-time lifetime purchase, syncs privately through your own iCloud account with no account to create, and includes streak shields and home screen widgets to keep you on track.
