Remember the dream
Catch it before the day wipes it out.
Fast capture for the first minute after waking, plus a real archive you can come back to later.
Dreams, sleep, and the mornings they create
Most mornings aren’t random.
Aftercurrent is an iPhone app for remembering dreams, understanding rough mornings, and spotting the links between sleep, recovery, and what keeps showing up at night.
Start two ways: take the quiz for a quick read, or download the app to track your own nights.
- AI is optional
- Raw Apple Health stays on-device
- Apple Watch enables Sentinel
If this sounds like you
Aftercurrent is for people who wake up knowing the night is still with them.
•You remember the feeling of a dream, then lose the details almost immediately.
•Some mornings feel off, heavy, or wired and you can’t tell why.
•You want sleep data to explain something, not just sit there.
•You notice repeat themes at night but do not have a good way to track them.
What Aftercurrent actually does
It puts the dream, the body, and the morning in one place.
Most apps split the night into pieces. Aftercurrent keeps dream capture, body context, and the morning read together so you can tell what is actually carrying into the day.
Read the night
See how sleep and recovery changed the night.
Body Readiness, HRV, sleep context, and Sentinel stay attached to the night they came with.
Know your trend
Stop assuming every weird night is a one-off.
Archetypes, recurring dream themes, and longer trends help you see what actually repeats.
Why this is different
Most apps track the night. Aftercurrent helps explain it.
A sleep app can tell you how long you slept. A dream journal can save what you dreamed. Aftercurrent combines the dream, the body, and the longer trend so the morning is easier to read.
Not just a dream journal
Capture it fast, keep the history, and stop reading each entry in isolation.
Not just recovery data
Body Readiness, HRV, and sleep information are more useful when they sit next to the dream that came with them.
Not just a type label
The quiz gives you a starting point. The app shows whether it actually fits your nights.
How people actually use it
Useful when you wake up, later that morning, and after enough nights to see what’s real.
Aftercurrent works in three moments: right after you wake up, later when you want a clearer read on the morning, and over time when trends stop looking random.

Sentinel
Sentinel helps you catch rough nights while they are happening.
Sentinel uses Apple Watch to look for rough-night patterns using heart rate, HRV, and motion.
When the read is clear enough, it can respond with gentle haptics and save the event for morning review.
•Built for Apple Watch overnight support.
•Connected to the rest of Aftercurrent.
•Framed clearly as a wellness feature.
Sentinel is a wellness feature, not a medical device.

What comes from data and what does not
Aftercurrent keeps data, trends, and written guidance separate.
Some things are measured directly. Some only become visible over time. Some are written to help you reflect. Keeping those separate is part of what makes the product trustworthy.
Measured data
Sleep timing, scores, and device signals.
Trends over time
Connections Aftercurrent only shows once there is enough history to support them.
Written guidance
Optional interpretation meant to help you think, not impersonate a hard fact.
Why Archetypes matter
Why your nights may not look like someone else’s.
Archetypes give Aftercurrent a baseline for how different people carry stress, stimulation, and emotion into the night.
Systems
Systems family
People who think in structure, leverage, and whether the moving parts actually hold together.
At night: Open loops, overthinking, and too much mental stimulation.
Meaning
Meaning family
People who notice subtext, emotion, and what something means beneath the surface.
At night: Unresolved emotion, subtext, and too much imagination still running.
Anchors
Anchors family
People who protect continuity, practical stability, and the people depending on them.
At night: Worry, disruption, unfinished responsibilities, and the need to keep things steady.
Presence
Presence family
People who respond in real time to pace, atmosphere, and what the room feels like.
At night: Momentum, sensory overload, and not enough real wind-down.
The app gets better once it has a few real nights to work with.
