Aftershift helps shift workers, night nurses, and anyone with an irregular schedule decompress and recover after every shift — not just sleep better, but actually wind down. Every evening you get a 30-second check-in: which shift did you work, how is your energy, how much time do you have, and what is your goal tonight? Aftershift's on-device rule engine builds a personalised calm-down routine — breathing exercises, gentle stretches, dim-light cues, a warm shower timer, and more — calibrated to your specific shift type and energy level. Then a guided player walks you through each step with soft timers and ambient cues, so you never have to think about what to do next. Track your recovery with a colour-coded streak and monthly heatmap. On days you skip, there is no guilt — just a gentle nudge the next evening. Everything runs on-device. No account, no sign-in, no data sent to any server. FREE includes: - Full check-in flow every day - 5 core recovery activities (breathing, stretch, gratitude, dim lights, warm shower) - Streak and heatmap Pro (subscription) unlocks: - Full activity library (20+ activities) - Weekly recovery insights report - Upcoming: custom routine builder Aftershift Pro is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription.
