one prompt and one tiny task each morning. a few sentences in response, the task marked if it happened, and the day continues. over weeks, responses accumulate into a quiet personal log.

by default, ember does not personalize your morning.

there are no streaks to break, no reminders to dismiss, no notifications to mute. a missed day leaves no mark. the log shows what is, not what isn't.
