An app from someone who lived the problem

I built After because I knew my relationship wasn't right for me, but I still couldn't move on.

I tried everything. And a lot didn’t work, but some things did. My friends had me write a list of the reasons the relationship wasn't right. I wrote letters to my future self for the hard days. I even remade my old playlists without the songs I loved but that were associated with my ex.

Two years later, I've more than healed, and those small things that got me through are the heart of what After is. My list of reasons is your receipts. Those letters evolved into Dear Future Me. And my old playlists became the music detox.

After is the app I wish I'd had during my own breakup: a place to put the text you want to send at 2am, to remember why it ended when your heart tries to rewrite it, and to feel a little less alone while you find your way back to yourself.

I'm so glad you found it, and I hope After is there for you in the moments you need it most.
