Version 1.6.8

Ember by Nandhakumar overview

Ember is a journal for remembering the people you keep. Write about your day and mention someone with @, and that moment belongs to them. Open their page years later and every moment you shared is there, in your own words.

Features
  • Mention people with @, tag with #, group with ~ worlds, and thread entries together with & stories.
  • A living graph of everyone you know, clustered by world, showing where connections are warm and where they have gone quiet.
  • A gentle Feed that surfaces people you have not been in touch with for a while, next to the last thing you wrote about them.
  • Quick capture from any app with one shortcut, or from the menu bar.
  • Markdown entries with photos, voice memos, songs, places, weather and link cards.
  • Calendar, Map, Stories and Tags views, with search across everything (Command-K).
  • Import from Day One, Apple Journal and Diarium, and bring people in from Apple Contacts.
  • Shortcuts actions, desktop and Notification Center widgets, and a Share extension.
  • Keyboard-first: arrow keys, Return and Esc move through every list.
  • Local-first and private. No account, and you can lock Ember with Touch ID or your password.
  • Optional iCloud sync across Mac, iPad and iPhone with Ember Plus.

What's new in version 1.6.8

Added
  • Ember in the menu bar: click the icon to write a few lines, log who you saw or add someone without leaving what you are doing.
  • Writing prompts: a blank page asks one everyday question to start you off, with a refresh button (Option-Command-N) for another. Add your own questions in Settings.
  • Import from Diarium: bring in a Diarium backup (.diary) with its entries, tags, places and photos.
  • Shortcuts: Create Entry, Add to Today's Entry, Save Interaction and Find People. Ember asks "Which Sam?" when two people share a name.
  • Link cards for videos, songs, podcasts, posts and articles.
  • A "Don't bring back memories" switch on each person's page.
  • Audio and voice memos play at 1x, 1.5x, 2x or 2.5x.
Improved
  • Nudge is now a plain list: one row per person with a "We're good" tick, how long it has been, and Log.
  • Keyboard: arrows scroll Stories, the journal list keeps its own place apart from the open entry, and in Nudge, Return logs and Command-Return says "We're good".
Fixed
  • Turning on iCloud sync for the first time now starts it once, cleanly.
  • The date in the log sheet stays on one line.
