Every place you've ever loved, remembered for you — without lifting a finger. Aftr is a private logbook of the places you spend meaningful time at. It builds itself, quietly, from your phone's location and photos. No check-ins. No "you're here right now" notifications. No social feed. Just a beautiful constellation of your life, waiting for you when you want to remember. — INSTANT CONSTELLATION — On first launch, Aftr can scan your Camera Roll for the last year of GPS-tagged photos and turn them into a real map of where you've been — venues named, photos already attached, ready to explore. The full last year of your life appears in about a minute. — PASSIVE LOGGING — After that, Aftr runs in the background using Apple's battery-friendly visit detection. Significant places get logged automatically. Routine spots like home and work fade out. You never need to remember to open the app. — THE CONSTELLATION MAP — Your places appear as glowing stars over a warm atlas of the world. Visit a place often and its star burns brighter. Patterns emerge over months and years. Search any place by name. Tap a star to see your full history with it — every visit, every photo, every note. — NOTES THAT GREET YOU — Add a short note to a place — "sit at the bar," "miso eggplant is the move," "first date" — and Aftr will surface it the next time you're there. The longer you use Aftr, the more irreplaceable your map becomes. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Your data stays on your device. Aftr has no servers, no accounts, no analytics tied to who you are. We never sell, share, or even see your places, photos, or notes. Sync with your own iCloud comes in a free update. — INCLUDES — • Photo backfill for instant first-day magic • Passive visit detection (works even when the app is closed) • Daily review — confirm or dismiss new visits in seconds • Per-place notes and photo galleries • Beautiful constellation map with nebula atmosphere • Place detail with full visit timeline • Apple Maps + Google Search integration for venue context • Full export of your data, anytime Aftr is free. No subscription, no ads, no data selling. Ever. — For privacy details, see https://aftr.nennovate.com/privacy Terms of use: https://aftr.nennovate.com/terms Support: https://aftr.nennovate.com/support

Verdict
