Layoff Next Chapter

A calm, private space to navigate life after a layoff. Track your runway, your energy, and only the jobs that matter — all stored on your device, never the cloud.

Getting laid off is disorienting. Most job apps make it worse, pushing you into nonstop optimization, obsessive tracking, and financial doom-scrolling.

Next Chapter is the opposite. It's a minimalist, 100% local-first utility built to protect your sanity during a career transition — not your click-through rate.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking clutter. No risk of your job search leaking to your current employer. Your data never leaves your phone.

A DAILY SANITY CHECK-IN Once a day, log your energy — not your output. Based on how you're doing, you get one small, achievable action tailored to your goal. We count the days you show up, never a streak. Bad days are never punished.

A JOB TRACKER THAT RESPECTS YOUR MOMENTUM See active roles only. Stale applications ghost away automatically after two weeks, so you're looking at what's alive — not a growing wall of silence and rejection.

A RUNWAY CALCULATOR THAT TURNS MONEY INTO TIME Enter your safety net, monthly spending, and any income buffer. See exactly how many months you have and the date you're safe until — no spreadsheets, no anxiety spirals.

GENTLE BY DESIGN Encouragements when you open the app. Light and dark themes. A one-tap reset whenever you want a clean slate.

You are more than a layoff. Next Chapter is here for the in-between.
