Features
How Emberel captures, understands,
and resurfaces your thoughts.
Emberel is a reminder-first AI memory. Everything you capture is a Spark that can behave as a reminder, task, note, checklist, or link. The app, email, voice, photo/OCR, dashboard, Ask, and Google sync are live. SMS activates after carrier A2P approval.
Capture anywhere
Five ways in. No filing ritual.
App / OmniBar
Type directly into the dashboard when you’re already at your desk. Emberel turns the sentence into a Spark with the right title and behavior.
Text / SMS
SMS capture, confirmations, reminders, DONE, and SNOOZE are built and usage-limited. They activate when carrier A2P approval clears.
Forward or BCC an email. Emberel keeps the subject, body, sender context, and links.
Voice
Speak the thought before it disappears. Emberel transcribes it, turns it into a Spark, and on Pro and Power keeps the recording so you can play it back.
Photo / OCR
Snap a bill, flyer, receipt, screenshot, or whiteboard. Emberel reads the useful text, drafts the Spark — title, details, reminder — and asks before saving.
AI that figures out what your Spark is.
Emberel looks for dates, times, tags, checklist items, links, and intent. It decides whether your Spark behaves as a reminder, task, note, checklist, or link, titles it, and keeps the details — change it in one tap or just tell Emberel.
- Handles phrases like “Thurs afternoon” and “first Friday every month.”
- Splits one message into multiple Sparks when needed.
- Recognizes recurring phrasing and names you include in captures.
- Change what any Spark is later — in a tap or conversationally.
Reminders you can act on from the message.
Due Sparks reach you by SMS or email. Reply DONE, SNOOZE 2h, or open the Spark to reschedule it.
- SMS reminders included in every paid plan after carrier activation.
- No SMS overage charges.
- Quiet hours keep reminders out of the middle of the night.
- Completed Sparks clear from your due list.
Calendar & two-way Google sync
Timed Sparks can sync to Google Calendar. Date-level tasks can sync with Google Tasks. Changes flow back into Emberel, and sync safeguards help prevent duplicates or loops.
- Two-way sync with Google Calendar & Tasks
- De-duplication and loop protection for synced Sparks.
- A single day view for everything that’s due
Every capture is a Spark
A deadline, a note, a half-formed thought — everything you capture becomes a Spark. The ones without a due date stay glowing, and Emberel brings them back when the moment’s right, ready to build on.
- Capture it in a sentence, expand it later
- Gentle resurfacing so good thoughts don’t get buried
- Change how a Spark behaves — note to task to reminder — in one tap
Ask your memory anything
Everything you’ve captured is searchable in plain language. Ask a question, get the answer — drawn from your own Sparks: every reminder, task, note, checklist, and link you’ve saved.
- “What did I say about the fall showcase?”
- AI “ask” on every plan
- Your data stays yours — export anytime
Bring your own assistant
Emberel speaks the Model Context Protocol, so on Pro your memory travels with you. Connect Claude or ChatGPT once, approve it on an Emberel consent screen, and your assistant can capture Sparks, search everything you’ve saved, check your day, and set reminders — mid-conversation.
- Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client
- You approve each assistant — revoke it in one click from Settings
- Included with Pro and Power (and the free trial)
