Slogan

Copied Bringing people back to real life. A small key that helps you put your phone down.
Color

Butter, ink and a spark.

Butter is the canvas. Ink carries the words in pure black. Sun is a solid, saturated yellow for punchy highlights. Signal Blue is the spark of joy and action, used sparingly. Coral and moss are friendly accents for illustration and detail. Tap a swatch to copy its hex.

Typography

SF Compact, in caps.

One typeface does the work: SF Compact. Headings and subheadings are set in caps; body stays sentence case. The wordmark is the only exception, set in Chivo Bold and kept in its own mixed case.

Tap the tag to unlock the apps you set aside. When you're done, they go back to arm's length. A small physical action interrupts the reflex before the scroll begins.

Spacing

Room to breathe.

Space is part of the voice. Generous margins, tight component gaps, and a single corner radius keep the brand calm and consistent.

Iconography

SF Symbols.

Icons come from Apple's SF Symbols, the same set the app draws on. Monoline, rounded, weighted to sit beside the type. Pull the exact symbol from the library and keep one consistent weight across a screen.

Details

Numbers and surfaces.

Numbered steps and lists use a blue dot with the number knocked out, so it picks up whatever sits behind it. A small, friendly counter used across the brand.

Photography

Lifestyle, lived in.

Photography is warm, candid and real. Natural light, soft film grain, true moments between people. Relaxed and joyful, never staged or stocky.

The object

Made to be carried.

The tag is the brand made physical: a small object you keep close and pass to a friend. It lives in the world, not behind a screen.

In-app character

Amba, inside the app.

A translucent orb with a warm, glowing core. It reacts to how the day is going and gives the app its personality. The character lives inside the app only. It is not used in the logo, advertising, or other brand materials.

Tone of voice

Light. Warm. Calm.

Amba sells what you get back, not guilt or discipline. Short, human, a little witty. We invite, we never lecture.

Do

  • Lead with the reward, the life you get back
  • Keep it short, breezy and a touch playful
  • Stay calm and present, no FOMO or urgency
  • Sound human and warm, like a friend
  • Move toward warmth, ease, presence and play

Don't

  • Shame people or call them addicted
  • Preach, moralize, or sound clinical
  • Lean on restriction, willpower or hustle
  • Use fear or "screens are evil" framing
  • Sell guilt, control or dystopian detox
Using our brand

A few simple rules.

  • Don't recolor, distort, or rotate the wordmark.
