What’s new in Ember.

  1. 0.3.5iOSAugust 4, 2026

    Chats open with your day at a glance, tap-to-start openers, and a cleaner, easier-to-read chat screen.

    New

    • Your day, at a glance. Open a chat before you've said anything and Ember sets the scene: a short title for your day, your daily summary, and how much you've written so far.
    • Tap-to-start openers. Three suggested openers, drawn from what you actually wrote today. Tap one and the conversation starts right away — and they tuck themselves away the moment you start typing instead.

    Improved

    • A calmer chat screen. The date now appears once, on the day card itself, and a new menu button in the card jumps you to any other day's conversation.
    • Easier to read. Ember's replies render at full strength now, and your own messages have a friendlier new typeface.
    • A tidier composer. Everything sits on one row — the microphone steps aside while you type and comes back when you clear the field.
    • Steadier conversations. If a reply can't come through, Ember now says so right away and stays ready for your next message.
    • Day titles are new — update Ember on your other devices too so they show up everywhere.
  2. 0.3.4iOSJuly 29, 2026

    Enter your invite code on the welcome screen — sync turns on and AI comes with it, with no key to paste.

    New

    • One code sets you up. The welcome screen now takes your invite code, and everything follows from it: sync turns on, and AI is ready without a key to paste. Pair this phone with your Mac and AI comes along with it.
    • Know where you stand. Settings now shows a quiet meter for how much of this month's included AI you've used. It refreshes monthly.

    Improved

    • Clearer sync status. If your sync storage fills up, Settings now says so plainly: syncing pauses, your journal stays complete on this phone, and nothing is lost. New changes sync again as soon as there's room.
    • Polish throughout — anywhere Ember used to ask you for a key it now offers the code sheet instead, and running out of this month's included AI reads as a friendly note rather than an error.

    Note

    • Ember on your Mac has a matching update. Updating both keeps your devices in step.
  3. 0.3.3iOSJuly 28, 2026

    Your phone now shows every synced device by name — and your inbox stays in step across all of them.

    New

    • Your devices, by name. Settings now lists every Mac and iPhone connected to your journal — shown by name, like "MacBook Pro" or "iPhone 15 Pro" — each with when it last synced.
    • Your inbox stays in step. Read a letter on your Mac and it's marked read here too.

    Improved

    • A gentle shimmer now shows in your journal while the daily summary is being written.
    • Pairing with your Mac feels snappier — the code screen responds instantly and submits itself when you've typed the code.

    Note

    • This update pairs with the newest Mac app. If your Mac pauses syncing, updating Ember there picks things right back up.
  4. 0.3.2iOSJuly 27, 2026

    Pairing shows a confirmation code, and connections are more reliable.

    Highlights

    • Confirm-code pairing. After you scan your desktop's code, your phone shows a short code to type on the desktop — so only your own devices connect.
    • More reliable connections. Pairing and sync now connect dependably, even on networks that were flaky before.
  5. 0.3.1iOSJuly 27, 2026

    Pairing with your desktop is more dependable, and sync speaks plainly when it needs something.

    Highlights

    • Smoother desktop pairing. Scanning your desktop's pairing code now completes more reliably, and if anything does interrupt it, the message tells you exactly what to do next.
    • Clearer sync messages. When sync needs attention — a connection blip, a code that was already used, an app that needs updating — it now says so in plain words instead of a generic error.
  6. 0.3.0iOSJuly 27, 2026

    Faster core, real release notes in TestFlight, and the 0.3 version train.

    Highlights

    • Faster everything under the hood. The Rust core (sync, search, embeddings) now ships as an optimized release build — noticeably snappier and less than half the size it used to be.
    • Real release notes. These TestFlight "What to Test" notes now come straight from the release's changelog, so every build tells you exactly what changed.

    Notes

    iOS and desktop now ride the same version train (0.3.x); the patch numbers may diverge as each platform ships fixes independently. Release notes on iOS live here in TestFlight — the in-app what's-new pill is a desktop feature.
