The idea for Ember came from a simple problem: I never remember to take a photo of what I eat. I always tell myself, “I’ll do it later”… and of course, I only think about it hours afterward, when it’s too late to scan anything.
I wanted a way to log my meals without needing to remember at the exact moment I’m eating. That’s when I imagined a tracker that could analyze a meal from a simple description, even if I log it at the end of the day.
“A chicken sandwich, a coffee, and a chocolate yogurt” → instant calories and macros.
At first, I only wanted to simplify food tracking. But as I built Ember, I realized that understanding your nutrition goes hand-in-hand with your other habits: hydration, steps, fasting… That’s how Ember became a more complete health-tracking tool
