DotEmber

.Ember

A focused Mac journal for the present moment.

WIP
  • macOS

DotEmber is a focused macOS journal. One canvas, one intent — write what’s on your mind, right now.

Designed for the act of writing

No project picker, no document list, no toolbar gymnastics. The current entry is the only entry visible. Everything else moves out of the way.

Local files, your folder

Your entries live as plain files in a folder you choose. Point DotEmber at iCloud Drive, a git repo, or a USB stick — it’s all the same to the app.

Coming to the Mac App Store

DotEmber is in private beta as of May 2026. The Mac App Store release is “Coming Soon” — once Apple’s review clears, the download button at the top of this page lights up.
