Nobody can find you
No search, no suggestions, no contact upload. There is no way to discover a person in Emberknot at all — the only way in is a short code somebody hands you on purpose.
Android coming soon
Be the first two
to light it up.
An app for one other person. No feed, no followers, nobody to perform for — just the shortest possible way to say you crossed my mind.
Free to join. One email the day it is on Google Play. Nothing else, ever.
The whole reason it exists
You think about them
a dozen times a day.
You mention it twice.
Not because you did not care the other ten times. Because opening a keyboard felt like too much ceremony for what you actually wanted to say — which was nothing in particular. Just: you crossed my mind.
So it goes unsent. And the two of you end up in the same group-chat shape as everybody else, where being close means keeping up with a conversation.
Emberknot starts with one button that says it for you, in about a second, to exactly one person. Around it: games to play between busy moments, date nights to plan, and the photos and memories the two of you keep.
Try it right here
Open. Tap.
They feel it.
Not a message they have to read and answer. A small warm thing that arrives on their wrist and is gone. This is the real animation — press it.
What you get
One tap to start.
A whole space for two.
One place for the taps, one for the moments you keep, one for what is coming, and one for the two of you — the places you have been, and how each of you is doing today.
- Eight kinds of tap, each one different in the hand
- Photos, notes and voice notes, with no audience but each other
- Countdowns, so nothing important sneaks up on you
- An atlas of the places that meant something

Why this one
Everything it refuses
to do.
Most apps for two people are a social network with the audience turned down, or a map with your partner on it. Emberknot is neither, on purpose.
Your location is never read.
No permission is requested and no code in the app asks the phone where it is. The Atlas holds the places that meant something because you typed them, not because you were followed there.
Nothing is written for you
No generative AI anywhere in it. Nothing drafts a note for you and nothing helps you be affectionate. The entire value of a tap is that a person meant it.
It reaches your wrist
A real Apple Watch app, not a companion — plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so their mood is simply there without either of you opening anything.
One price, for the pair
Three days free for new subscribers, then $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year covering both of you. Not each. One of you subscribes and you are both in.
Quiet by default
Note previews are off unless you turn them on, and when they are off the words never reach the device. You decide what is allowed to interrupt you.
No surprises
What happens if you join
You leave an address
That is the whole form. No account, no password, no card, nothing to confirm.
We finish Android
iPhone is already out; Android is in closed testing. You hear nothing from us in the meantime, because there is nothing worth sending yet.
You get one email, first
The day it is on Google Play — before it is posted anywhere. Then grab the other person and send them a code.
Before you decide
When is it out on Android?
iPhone is out now, on the App Store. Android is in closed testing, and we are not going to invent a date to make this page feel urgent. You will hear the day it is on Google Play, and that email will be the first thing that goes out — before anything is posted anywhere.
What will it cost?
The everyday app is free: four kinds of tap, notes, moods and your shared timeline. Emberknot+ is the rest — every tap, photos, voice notes, Questions, Games and more — at three days free, then $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and that one subscription covers both of you. Joining the waiting list costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Does the other person have to sign up too?
Yes — it is an app for exactly two people, so it does not do anything on its own. You send them a short code like MINT-4821, they enter it, and that is the whole setup. There is no other way to connect two accounts, which is also why nobody can find you.
What if we stop talking, or it ends?
Either of you can disconnect on your own, without the other agreeing to it, and you can block from the same screen. Nobody is trapped in a thread by an app that makes leaving awkward.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone and Android, with a real Apple Watch app — not a companion — plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets on both platforms. iPhone is on the App Store now; Android is in closed testing and coming soon. A couple on one of each works fine.
How private is it, really?
No location permission of any kind, no advertising SDKs, no third-party analytics, no generative AI, and nothing sold or shared with a data broker. It runs on Google Firebase, which the privacy page names outright — including the parts that are not encrypted end to end. It is worth reading before you decide to trust it.
Will you email me about anything else?
No. One email, the day it is on Google Play. It is not a newsletter and there is nothing else to send. If that never happens, you never hear from us at all.
Two people.
One quiet thread.
Android is not out yet. Be there when it is.
One email. Not a newsletter.
We write once, the day it is on Google Play. If that never happens, you never hear from us.
Your address stays here.
Not sold, not shared, not handed to an ad network. The privacy page says exactly what is stored.
Leave whenever.
Email dantecorso@icloud.com and it is deleted. No account, no link to click, no questions.
