About us

Hi there!

If you're reading this, you're probably like me (and my co-founder Leif).

I can't stop feeding my curiosity. I spent hours reading, watching, and listening to informational content. I felt I was learning, but I couldn't find back to it when I needed this information. It was lost. Forgotten.

I spent years searching for a solution to get organized. But what I found was either too limited or required too much work. I was either stuck with notes, files, and bookmarks spread all over the place or complex productivity systems that are a pain to set up require loads of discipline to maintain. It was a mess, and I couldn't accept it.

I was desperate to find a better way. People like us deserve better. We deserve control of the constant stream of information overload. We deserve not to feel anxious about having to postpone an interesting article. We deserve to spend more time learning and doing, and less time with busywork. We deserve to feel at ease.

This desire was the spark that ignited us to make Emberly. We re-thought how you can organize your library and bring all your knowledge resources together—as they belong.

We built Emberly to save ourselves from the information chaos. And, now we are on a mission to help people like you do the same.

Happy learning!

We have have been working hard building Emberly since 2019. Hard work alone is, nevertheless, not enough to create an truly useful and delightful tool. We are at the mercy of your feedback.

So, if you have any ideas or criticisms, we would be delighted to hear all about it. You can reach at hi@ember.ly and the Emberly discord server.


Paid by users

Emberly is the product we sell, not our user's data, as we strongly believe selling users' data is wrong. Your data should be your own. No one should be able to view it unless you explicitly grant them access.

The subscription from our users is our single source of income. Our goal with Emberly is to make the most useful tool we can, with a stable self-funded business around it that will last for decades.

Being supported by a community of passionate people, instead of large equity companies, is what enables Emberly to be what it is today. Thank you for being here!
