Common questions
I don't hear any beeps or voice.
Check Settings > Sound cues and Voice coach, turn up your device volume, and make sure the speaker button on the timer screen isn't muted. Cues play even when the ringer switch is off.
Does it work with my music?
Yes. Cues play over Apple Music, Spotify and podcasts. With Lower music for voice turned on, your music dips briefly while the coach speaks.
Does the timer keep going when I lock my phone?
Yes. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your current phase and countdown, and notifications ring each phase change and the finish. Allow notifications for Ember to hear them. You can turn the Lock Screen timer off in Settings.
How do I count rounds?
In AMRAP and For Time, tap the big Round done button each time you finish a round. Ember records the split. Tap the arrow next to the pause button to undo the last round.
What do the halfway cues in Tabata do?
Every work interval gets a beep and a "Halfway" call at its midpoint, and you'll hear "Halfway there" at the middle of the whole Tabata. Turn the per-interval cue off with the Halfway cue switch in the Tabata setup.
Can I save my own workouts?
Yes. Set up any timer, add a name and your movements, then tap the bookmark button. Saved workouts appear on the home screen.
How do I export my training log?
Open the Log tab and tap the share button to export everything as a CSV file that opens in Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets.
How do I sync with Apple Health?
Turn on Settings > Save to Apple Health and allow access. Finished workouts you save to the log are also saved to Health.
Is Ember really free?
Yes. No ads, no subscriptions and no account.
