Ever wondered who you just walked past?

Ember: Real Sparks helps you discover the people you’ve crossed paths with in real life. Open the app and see strangers you saw today, the person you noticed earlier, or someone you passed on your commute without realizing it.

Every day, you walk past hundreds of people. At the café. On the street. At the beach. In the park. Ember lets you remember those moments and discover who was near you at the same place and time.

You may not have spoken to that person. You may not even have noticed them. But you were there. At the same time. In the same place.

Now you can see who you’ve already passed.

Ember shows you people you’ve been near throughout your day — strangers you saw yesterday, someone you walked past earlier, or a person you didn’t realize you had seen before. Turn these real-world crossings into real connections.

This is a new kind of social discovery. Not based on endless scrolling. Not random strangers from far away. But people you actually walked near in real life.

How it works

• See people you’ve walked past or been near today
• Discover strangers you saw earlier but didn’t notice
• Find someone you passed yesterday at the same location
• Remember real moments and connect through shared places
• A social app built around real-world encounters

With Ember, you don’t start with random profiles. You start with people you’ve already seen, passed, or walked near.

You might remember the face. You might recognize the place. You might realize you were near the same person multiple times without knowing it.

That stranger you saw at the café.
The person you walked past on your commute.
Someone you noticed at the beach yesterday.

They’re not so random anymore.

Why Ember is different

Most social apps show you strangers from anywhere. Ember shows you strangers from your real life — people who were near you, at the same time and place.

Instead of asking “who should I meet?”, Ember answers:

“Who did I already pass?”
