One price for everything — the app, the local engine, and an AI model sized to your machine and set up for you. Pay once by card and own it forever. No account, no cloud, no monthly bill.
Everything included. Pay once, own forever.
You never touch a model registry or learn what a quantization is. On first run Ember reads your computer, picks the best model it can run well, installs everything it needs, and checks it actually works — then hands you a finished assistant.
Processor, memory, and graphics — measured, not guessed. A built-in guide explains what it found in plain language.
From a curated, well-tested set. A powerful GPU gets a bigger model; a light laptop gets a fast one. Either way it runs smoothly.
Installs and warms everything, then runs a real check before it calls itself done. No half-working state, no terminal.

No. Ember is a one-time purchase — $49, paid once. There's no monthly fee and no account, because there's no server to host one on.
Everything: the app, the local engine, an AI model sized to your machine, permanent memory, voice mode, and all updates on this version line. No tiers, no upsells.
Updates on this version line are free. If we ship a major new version later, it's an optional upgrade at a discount — you're never forced to pay to keep what you already have.
No. On first run Ember scans your computer, picks a well-tested model your hardware can run, installs everything it needs, and checks it works — then hands you a finished assistant.
Pay by card through Stripe, and your download link arrives by email. There's no licence server and no activation step — your copy just runs, offline, forever, and the assistant itself never contacts us.
30-day, no-questions refund.
$49, paid once. The app, the engine, and an AI sized to your machine — set up for you, private by construction.
