Afterwise: Set a "day to look back" for your decisions—we don't choose for you; we help you compare with reality when that day arrives. Log context, options, and expectations. Set a 30- or 90-day review (or more). Get a local reminder when it's due. Optionally write a sealed letter to your future self—private until review day, then open it first and record what really happened. Why Afterwise • Sealed letters + opening ritual—capture how you thought, not a rewritten memory • Review-day lock: no early opening or formal review before the due day • Home Screen countdown widget; calendar widgets for review days (no titles or letter content) • In-app review calendar; optional iPhone Calendar sync; .ics export • Privacy share cards after sealing or review (private by default) • Local-first; optional iCloud; no account • Insights & bias snapshot—not AI advice Core loop: log → set review → sealed letter (optional) → open on due day → review → learn Good for: job moves, relationships, major purchases, startup and investing choices Free • 25 decisions; 30/90-day reviews • Sealed letters (~200 chars, 1 photo); revisit opened letters • Review calendar, optional calendar sync, calendar widgets, .ics export • Batch due reviews; Markdown export; CSV/MD import • Basic insights; one re-review per decision • English / 简体 / 繁体 Pro • Unlimited decisions; 90/365/custom cycles; letter per cycle • Letters ~1,000 chars, up to 9 photos • Stronger reminders; full bias report; annual/quarterly reports & share cards • Templates; unlimited tags & moods; app lock (Face ID / passcode) • CSV/PDF/long image/ZIP export; ritual skins; yearbook pages • Widget ritual layout & Live Activity (never shows letter content) Privacy: On your device; optional iCloud.
