1.0.0 — Unreleased

Writing

  • Multiple journal entries per day, each timestamped.
  • Markdown-first editor (Tiptap) with a focused toolbox; bold / italic / list / heading / code / link / image / task-list / quote — every action available from keyboard or toolbox.
  • Notebook organization: default Journal notebook plus user-created notebooks under notebooks/.
  • Optional Focus Daily Entry — full-screen Journal + Todo wizard once a day; configurable day-start hour, wizard order, “Run now” button.

Planning

  • Todo list with Inbox and named Blocks (Routine / Work / Personal / your own).
  • Repeat rules — habits seed themselves each morning; the system distinguishes recurring seeds from manually-typed todos.
  • Calendar week + month view with drag-to-schedule for todos.
  • External calendar overlays — read-only ICS file, ICS URL, and Google Calendar (calendar.readonly only; .Ember never writes back).

Focus

  • Pomodoro-style timer with configurable work / break lengths; runs a block straight from the todo list.
  • Stats dashboard — focus hours, completion rate, journal streak, top blocks; computed locally from your vault.

News

  • RSS reader with two-pane layout (article column + reader).
  • Save-to-journal — one click adds the article to today’s journal entry.
  • Sandboxed reader iframe; YouTube / Vimeo embeds become click-to-open thumbnail cards.
  • OPML import + export.

Sync & integrations

  • Optional iCloud sync via Apple CloudKit private DB.
  • Optional Obsidian Sync — mirrors Markdown between .Ember’s vault and a separate Obsidian vault on a configurable schedule. Two folders, never the same path; first run is a dry-run preview; conflict-loser files preserved automatically.
  • Optional Google Calendar overlay.
  • Bring-your-own-key AI (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI), gated by a single master toggle. Three features when enabled: Auto-arrange Inbox, Daily Brief (curated RSS top section), and command-palette quick actions.

Surface

  • Cmd+K command palette over a fresh-launch SQLite FTS5 backfill.
  • Six hand-tuned accent themes plus per-theme custom color picker (WCAG AA contrast validation).
  • Adaptive sidebar — auto-collapses to an 80 px icon-only column on narrow windows, fitting the macOS traffic-light cluster cleanly inside it.
  • Korean + English UI; Korean throughout in 존댓말. Hangul IME composition preserved across every input.
  • Tray app for quick capture (todo + timer).

Privacy

  • No analytics, no crash-reporter, no advertising tracker, no IDFA.
  • Zero outbound network requests on a clean install with no integrations enabled.
  • Mac App Store sandboxed, security-scoped bookmarks for vault + external sync targets.

Notes

  • This is a private beta build. The Mac App Store release is “Coming Soon” — see the homepage CTA.
