Nobody hands you a plan when you come home.
You walk out of prison or jail with a folder of papers, a list of people to report to, and deadlines nobody explained. Miss the wrong one and everything you're building falls over.
Free and Forward is the reentry plan you should have been handed on day one.
Twenty-seven steps, in the order they actually have to happen — built around your situation, not a generic pamphlet. Every court date and probation or parole check-in already on a calendar, with a reminder set before it lands instead of after.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Reentry checklist — ID, housing, work, benefits, legal. It knows what has to come first, and opens the next step when you're ready for it.
Court date calendar — hearings, probation and parole check-ins, deadlines, with reminders that arrive in time to do something about them.
Document vault — your ID, birth certificate, and release papers, locked with your password. Export a clean PDF the moment a landlord, an employer, or a benefits office asks.
Resume builder — room to explain a gap in your work history in your own words, honestly, without lying about it. Premium can write that paragraph for you.
Job board — employers who actually hire people with a felony or a criminal record, ranked by how well they fit you.
NOBODY IS WATCHING YOU
No agency. No officer. No program. Your documents are encrypted on your phone with a key only your password unlocks — the backup copy we keep so you can restore on a new phone stays encrypted, and we cannot read it. We are not affiliated with any government agency, parole board, or probation department. Nobody sees your progress but you.
BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE
We didn't study reentry from a distance. We knew the struggle personally, and we built the thing we needed.
FREE TO START. NO CATCH.
The checklist, the calendar, and reminders on your calendar events are free. No card, no trial, no time limit. Deadline reminders on every checklist step start at Basic. Paid tiers are one-time purchases — nothing renews, ever. Pay once and keep it.
The first ninety days after release decide almost everything that comes after. This is how you get through them.
Never forget the past. Learn from it. Move free and forward.
