Effective November 6, 2026
Emberhour is an intermittent-fasting timer and journal published by EqualInformation, LLC. This page explains what the app does with information.
Your fasts, start and end times, chosen rhythm, feelings you tag, streaks and settings are stored only on your device. There is no account and no sign-up, and we do not receive or store this information on any server. When a fast is running, its start time and goal are shown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island through a Live Activity on your device. Emberhour does not read or write Apple Health data.
If you allow notifications, reminders for stage changes and your goal are scheduled locally on your device. Nothing is sent to us.
Emberhour is free and shows ads served by Google AdMob. When you first open the app, iOS asks whether you allow tracking. If you allow it, AdMob may use your advertising identifier to show more relevant ads. If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalised by that identifier. Where required (for example in the EEA, UK and some US states) a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform appears, and you can reopen it from More, Privacy choices. AdMob and its partners may collect device information, advertising identifier, coarse location derived from IP address, and interaction with ads. See Google's advertising policy.
An optional monthly subscription removes ads. It is processed by Apple; we do not see your payment details. You can also earn ad-free time by watching rewarded clips; the count of clips and the time you have earned are kept on your device.
Emberhour is a timer and journal, not a medical device. It gives no medical advice and makes no health claims. Talk to a doctor before fasting.
Emberhour is not designed for children under 13 and fasting is not appropriate for people under 18 without medical supervision.
Delete the app to remove all fasts and settings from your device. Reset advertising identifier or turn off tracking in iOS Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking. Cancel a subscription in Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions.
