The problem

Focus is lonely and invisible, so it's easy to quit.

You already run pomodoros and keep a task list. But the moment you actually sit down is unwitnessed. Effort goes unseen, streaks break with no cost, and motivation runs entirely on willpower.

A timer can't hold you accountable

Forest, Session, Pomofocus are great at counting minutes, but there's no one on the other side. Zero accountability.

Co-working streams vanish

"Study with me" videos and co-working Discords have real social pull, but nothing gets logged, kept, or celebrated.

Group-chat screenshots die fast

Manual accountability ("I'll text you when I start") is high friction and collapses within a week. Every time.

The loop

Log → your friends see it → kudos → you come back.

Strava proved that logging plus a feed plus kudos beats better tracking. Focus has never had an equivalent. Now it does.

01

Run a session

Start a pomodoro with your own work/break cadence and an optional task list. This is the activity you log.

02

Friends see it

Finished sessions post to your followers and groups: duration, tasks done, and your current streak, at a glance.

03

Give kudos

Recognize the people who showed up. A tap of real recognition, not pixels, not a virtual tree, pulls them back tomorrow.

04

Keep the streak

Daily streaks and weekly focus hours give returning a visible payoff. Your effort finally compounds where people can see it.

The feed is the product

A feed of people actually showing up.

One glance tells the story

Who focused, for how long, tasks knocked out, and their streak. Every card reads in a second.

Task lists give it substance

Lightweight to-dos you check off inside a session become part of the logged activity. No due dates, no projects, just proof of work.

Your privacy, your call

Post to followers, a single group, or keep it private. Set per session, with safe defaults. Broadcasting is always opt-in.

Why it's different

Not another solo timer.

Everyone optimizes the timer. We optimize the loop. The activity graph plus the live social pull: the only app doing both.

Solo timer apps

Track but lonely

Counts your minutes, for an audience of one
Streaks break with no one watching
Rewards you with a cartoon tree
Blocks apps and polices you
Emberly

Tracked and social

A real feed of friends showing up alongside you
Kudos and streaks that pull you back tomorrow
Groups and clubs for accountability that sticks
Peer-to-peer and opt-in: we celebrate, never surveil
What it is

A social Pomodoro timer built for deep work.

Emberly is a Pomodoro timer and focus tracker with a social feed. Run a classic work–break session, attach the tasks you want to finish, and when the timer ends your session is logged, visible to the friends and groups you choose. It's the accountability of studying with friends, without scheduling a call.

Pomodoro timer, social feed

Run work and break intervals like any Pomodoro app, then your finished session posts to a feed where friends give kudos for showing up.

Study with friends, anywhere

Join groups and study events so you're never focusing alone. Accountability that sticks: see who's showing up today, and let them see you.

A focus tracker for your streaks

Every deep work session counts toward streaks and weekly stats, a training log for your attention, the way runners keep one for miles.

Never an empty room

Show up with a club, not alone.

No friends on the app yet? Join a public group on day one and your feed is alive from your very first session. We're seeding real clubs, not empty rooms, before launch.

Questions

The short version.

We're building the MVP now and inviting the waitlist in cohorts before public launch. Joining early means you help seed the first groups, so your feed is never empty on day one.
Yes. The entire social loop (sessions, task lists, following friends, groups, the feed, kudos, streaks, and weekly stats) is free, and stays free. No paywalls at launch.
A native mobile app on iOS and Android at launch. Sign in with Apple or Google. No passwords to manage.
Never by default without your say-so. Every session's visibility is your choice: followers, a specific group, or private. Sharing is opt-in and always in your control.
No. Task lists exist only to give a session substance: no due dates, projects, or priorities. And we don't block apps or police you. We track and celebrate focus; we don't surveil it.
