Afterlight
The concert diary for live music memories.
One paragraph
Afterlight is a diary for live music — Letterboxd for concerts, but quieter. Log the shows you've been to in ten seconds: scan the ticket, search the real setlist, or type from memory. The diary works in airplane mode in the pit, requires no account, and your data is exportable anytime. An optional social layer uses Sign in with Apple, then a public username, to back up the diary and show friends only the nights you keep non-private. Visually it's gig-poster modernism — a Factory Records sleeve as an app: true black, FAC blue, Swiss type.
Why it exists
Streaming has a memory; live music doesn't. The nights that actually shaped your taste live in a shoebox of stubs and a camera roll you never open. Afterlight gives them a spine — without gamification, engagement mechanics, ads, or tracking. Restraint is the feature, and privacy is architectural, not a policy.
Built by a working musician in the New Zealand scene, seeded show-by-show from the merch table.
