Afterlight

The concert diary that never phones home.

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 is local-first: it works in airplane mode in the pit, requires no account, and your data is exportable anytime. An optional social layer (claim a username — no email, no password) shows friends' nights and the ones you shared. 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.
