Notes-app simplicity. Task-app power.

You've tried every task app. They all made you tap through modals, configure projects, and manage systems instead of just... doing things.

Ember works like a notes app. One tap, start typing, press return for the next task. Brain dump without friction. But underneath, it's a real task manager—with repeating tasks, subtasks, lists, and views that keep you focused.

Two views: Now and Next. That's the whole system.


Now / Next

Two views. Now is what you're focused on. Next is what's important but not yet. Move tasks between them like a personal Kanban—without the board, the columns, or the complexity. Just what matters now, and what's coming.

One-Tap Capture

Press plus. Start typing. Press return for the next task. Keep going. No modals. No "save" buttons. No three-step flows. Brain dump like you're writing notes, but it's actually a task manager underneath.

Repeating Tasks

Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly—or twice a week, every other Friday, whatever cadence you need. Tasks appear in Now when they're due. Finish early? It automatically reschedules the next one.

Lists + Views

Lists hold your tasks (Home, Work, Finances). Views show you what to focus on (Now, Next, Upcoming). Pull tasks from any list into Now when you're ready to work on them. Organization without overhead.


Built for how your brain actually works

Most task apps make you manage the app instead of your tasks. Ember gets out of the way.

No Friction

Capture should be instant. One tap, start typing, done. If adding a task takes more than 2 seconds, you won't do it—and you'll forget what you were going to add.

No Decisions

Now or Next. That's it. No priority levels, no color-coded tags, no "which project does this belong to?" Binary choices are easier to make.

No Overwhelm

Now shows what you're doing. Next holds what's coming. Upcoming handles the future. You only see what's relevant right now.
