warming Friday
Ramen after work
The plan said
Wabi House at 7:00. Sit at the bar, bring the book.
A home for your days.
A home for the life you share.
A home for the few of you.
A private album that keeps its own calendar. Plan what's ahead and keep a photo and a few words after. Years later, the day is still there when you go looking for it.
A shared album that keeps its own calendar. Plan what's ahead and keep the photos and a few words after. Years later, the day is still there when one of you goes looking for it.
A private album for a small group, on one calendar. Plan what's ahead and keep the photos and a few words after. Years later, the day is still there when somebody goes looking for it.

A private album of your own.
Your plans and photos stay with you. You can invite someone later if you want to.
A shared album built for two.
You'll both see who added which photo and who wrote which line. Neither of you has to keep the album for the other.
Up to four people, for friends, family, or partners.
The trip, or the thing the group does every year. Anyone here can add to any day, and a note you mark private stays yours.
A plan becomes an ember
The same Friday, three times. Warming while it's ahead, glowing the morning after, and an ember once you write it down.

Warming. A day still ahead with something on it. A place and a time, or one word you fill in later.
Glowing. Friday happened, and nothing's written on it. It sits there, quiet, as long as you like.

Nothing's written here yet.
Ember. A photo, a few words, or a voice note, and the day is kept.

The story
Sat at the bar and read four pages. Far too loud to read. Stayed until they started stacking the chairs anyway.

7:00 at Wabi House. I tried to pick a place and you said, "How about here?"

Wabi House at 7:00. I'm picking, and there will be a wait.

Belle was right about the wait. Forty minutes on the sidewalk, and nobody minded once the bowls came out.
Plans fall through. Fade one and the day stays on the calendar, quiet, and you can rekindle it later.

The plan said
Going peach picking!
The story
It is not an orchard. It is a storefront, with fresh peaches at the counter and a case of homemade peach everything behind it. I got the ice cream and a bag for the drive.
Asides
The orchard is for the internet. There are no peaches to pick.

It turned out to be a storefront, not an orchard. Fresh peaches at the counter and a whole case of homemade peach things behind it. We got the ice cream and ate it in the car with the doors open.

First night out here
Walked up the hill before dinner and the whole valley went orange.
Coffee before the drive back
Someone at the farmers market sent us to the Fresh Market for the olive oil tasting.

Coffee at the picnic table
Belle found the bakery. We sat outside until the ice went.

Two people, one question
Double Take asks one question about a day, and you each answer on your own. Yours stays sealed until theirs is in. Then both open at once.
One question, answered apart
Double Take asks one question about a day, and everyone answers separately. Each answer stays sealed until enough of you have written one. Then they all open at once.
First night out here
What do you remember that no one photographed?
Rosie· Aug 2
The wind came up right as the sun went, and neither of us said anything for a while.
Ralph· Aug 3
How fast it got cold. I walked back for the blanket and missed the last of it.

Someone two hills over was playing music we could just barely hear.
Wander back through it
Four years since that morning, and there it is. Wander starts with this date in other years, then goes further back through the days you've kept.

Ate the po boy on the curb. Messy, and worth doing again.

An old tablet on a shelf, or a TV you cast to. It plays through the days you've kept while you're in the room.

Open it anywhere
Ember runs in the browser on your phone, a tablet, or the TV, so there's nothing to install. Add it to your home screen and it sits with the other apps.

What you keep is yours
Your mantel is private to the people you invite.
Download everything you've kept whenever you want: the original photos, and the writing as plain text you can read without Ember.
Delete a memory or your whole account, and Ember tells you what goes with it before you confirm.
Embers are free, and there's no cap on how many you keep or how many photos and videos go on each one.
Start with this weekend
Plan this weekend, or add a photo you already have. We'll email you a code, and your mantel is ready once you enter it.
