Good morning Good afternoon Good evening Still up?
Your moments, remembered
Afterglow is a private journal for your sex life and the people in it. Everything you write is encrypted on your phone, and you never need an account.
Coming to iPhone and Android
Privacy
Your journal, encrypted before it goes anywhere
End-to-end encrypted
Your journal, its backup and everything you send to a partner are encrypted before they leave your phone. Neither Afterglow nor the cloud you back up to ever gets a readable copy.
How the encryption worksLocked on your phone
Afterglow opens with your face, your fingerprint or a code, and the app switcher never shows your journal.
An encrypted backup
Saved to iCloud, Google Drive or Dropbox, and only your recovery phrase opens the backup. A lost phone never means a lost journal.
Works without internet
Write, read and look back anywhere. Your journal lives on your phone.
No account, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for. Analytics stay off until you switch them on, and even then they never include what you write.
Moments
Everything that happened, on one screen
Every time you’re with someone becomes a moment: who was there, where, how long and how it felt. Only the who is needed, and the rest is up to you.
Rate each moment, tag it in your own words and tell as much of the story as you like. Your notes are for your eyes only.
Partners
Put a face to every name
Keep track of every partner: how and when you met, and what they look like.
- About Name, picture, gender, origin, where a partner is based, how you met and when.
- Looks Height, build, hair and the rest, picked from a list instead of typed.
- Preferences Plus What a partner likes, wants to try and rules out.
- Moments Every moment you shared, each with its rating.
- Media Plus A partner’s photos and videos, in folders you name.
Looking back
What’s your number?
Afterglow works out your body count, your best moment, your type and what you like as you write.
You decide who counts toward your number, and Afterglow never comments on it.
Every moment lands in a calendar. Years from now, the first letters of a name are enough to find someone again.
What you like
What’s your type?
Afterglow reads your ratings back to you: the type you rate highest, and what your best moments have in common.
Your type and your best moments come with Plus, read only from your own ratings.
Sharing
Send a moment to whoever was there
Swap codes once, in person or in a chat, and from then on only the two of you can open what you send each other.
- A moment Any moment you shared, with as much or as little detail as you like.
- Pictures and clips Straight from an album, opened only on your partner’s phone.
- A card What you’ve written about someone, sent for them to see.

Questions
Good to know before you start
- Who can read my journal?
- You, on your phone once it’s unlocked, and on a new phone with your 24 words and your backup. Neither Afterglow nor your cloud can, because they never get a readable copy.
- How the encryption works
- What if I lose my phone?
- Your journal stays locked on the lost phone. With a backup, your 24 words bring everything back on your next phone.
- How backups work
- What does Afterglow cost?
- The journal is free for good. Plus adds more room for one payment, at a price you pick, and never hides anything you’ve written.
- What Plus adds
- Can I take my journal elsewhere?
- Yes, whenever you like. Export one encrypted file with everything in it, or two plain files any person or AI can read.
