Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the things people ask first.

What's the difference between a Spark and a Reminder?

A Spark is an idea or a quick capture with no particular time — raw material. A Reminder has a time and is meant to come back to you. You can promote a Spark into a Reminder (or a Task) whenever you're ready.

Do I have to choose the type when I capture?

No. Emberel's classifier picks the kind for you and pulls out any dates. You only step in if it got something wrong — and re-filing is one tap.

How does text capture work?

You send a normal SMS to your Emberel number. It arrives in your account, classified, within seconds. Reminders can come back to you the same way.

Is my data private?

Access is gated by Google or email sign-in, and sessions expire. Your captures are yours; the AI answers questions grounded only in your own items.

Does it work with my calendar?

Yes — two-way sync with Google Calendar and Google Tasks. See Integrations.

What can I capture with?

Typing in the app, SMS, email, voice notes, and photos. Whatever's fastest in the moment.
