FAQ
Straight answers, grouped.
Program
What if I miss a day?
Nothing resets. Later checks in the next day, makes the step smaller, and you pick up where you left off. Streak freezes count as showing up.
How is this different from a habit or to-do app?
Those wait for you to open them. Later reaches you first, by text, call or notification, in the voice you picked, and asks for light proof.
Does Later use AI?
Yes. Later uses AI to adapt its messages, its timing and your plan as it learns how you respond. Mathias and a small team read the messages too.
Do I need the browser extension?
Only if your goal happens at a computer. It works in Chrome and Safari.
What happens after 90 days?
Day 90 is your target date. If you keep going, Later sets the next goal with you, or keeps going on the same one.
Is this therapy?
No. Later is a coaching program that helps you start and keep going.
Who's behind this?
Mathias, the co-founder, and a small team. He reads the messages, and when he's live you can talk to him from this page.
Messages and calls
What if I ignore the messages?
Reply LATER to push it back, or STOP to pause. Nothing breaks and nothing resets.
Do I need to download an app?
No app store needed. Later works by text, calls and email, and the Later web app adds to your home screen from your browser in one tap.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Any phone that gets texts works, and the web app runs in Safari and Chrome.
Can I change the voice, times or follow-up level?
Any time, from your account or just by texting Later.
Will calls annoy me?
You choose calls or not, and how often. Nothing is ever sent between 9 pm and 8 am.
Pricing and refunds
How does cash back work?
Only on the 12-month plan. In each of your first three 30-day windows, show up 25 of 30 days and get $33.33 back to your card, PayPal, Venmo or bank, or $50 in credit. Up to $100 in all.
Is there a free trial?
No. Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee instead, no questions asked.
Will I be charged automatically?
Plans renew at the same price until you cancel. We remind you before every renewal, and you can cancel online in a few taps.
How do refunds and cancelling work?
Ask within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked. You can cancel online any time.
Privacy
Who sees my progress?
Only you, and the people you invite to your crew. They see if you showed up and your streak, never your notes or photos.
