What adults in their first year after divorce should look for

Keep track of practical tasks and meaningful firsts.

Whether divorce-specific prompts fit better than a general journal.

A workflow to evaluate

Record the chosen check-in, one next step and a milestone without setting a required recovery timeline.

Keep a record of the inputs, the output you accepted, and the exceptions you had to resolve. Use that evidence to decide whether the workflow fits the job.

Options to consider

  • A public product page describes daily check-ins, small next steps, an AI guide and a private record of first-year milestones and administrative tasks after divorce. Treat the public iOS coming-soon status as current until release status is verified.

    Check: The current public site labels the iPhone app as coming soon. Afterglow offers planning, records and AI guidance rather than therapy, legal advice or financial advice. It has no ex-tracking or surveillance. No treatment, recovery-time or health-outcome claim is established.

  • Meditation, sleep resources and separately offered human-care options.

    Choose it when: People primarily seeking a guided meditation library or access to its eligible human-care service.

  • Sleep stories, guided meditations, music and relaxation content.

    Choose it when: People whose first goal is a dedicated sleep/relaxation library.

  • General journaling with multimedia entries, export and end-to-end encryption.

    Choose it when: People wanting a flexible journal without divorce-specific planning or AI guidance.

Before you choose

  1. Define a successful result for this workflow: Whether divorce-specific prompts fit better than a general journal.
  2. Try representative inputs you are authorized to use, including an exception. Review the result against the original source.
  3. Verify current access, supported outputs, privacy and retention terms, total usage cost, and your next-step requirements.
  4. Keep human review where errors would affect a customer, a record, or an important decision. Repeat the comparison if the workload changes.
