Description
Track symptoms, organize evidence, and prepare cleaner VA disability claim drafts — privately, on your iPhone.
NEW IN 1.1: AI COMPANION (OPTIONAL)
A subscription layer that adds four AI features built on Apple's on-device Foundation Models — your data never leaves your iPhone:
• Daily Check-In: morning follow-ups on yesterday's most-severe entry
• Weekly Coach: a single "next best action" suggestion for your claim
• Monthly Pattern Digest: stats + AI prose summary you can export
• C&P Exam Prep: simulated examiner questions tailored to your conditions, grounded in your real journal
Plus 5 Siri Shortcuts (Log Migraine, Log Symptom, Symptom Count, VA Claims, Companion Check-In).
YOUR VA CLAIM TOOLS STAY FREE — FOREVER
The AI Companion is optional and clearly disclosed. Every claim-navigation feature stays free:
• 21-4138 statement drafts
• 21-10210 buddy statements
• Symptom journal + evidence tracking
• Crisis resources (988 + 741741)
• PDF exports for your VSO or doctor
• Service Ribbons
PRIVACY-FIRST
• 100% on-device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics.
• No third-party AI services. All inference uses Apple Foundation Models.
• Your symptom data never leaves your iPhone.
• Biometric lock + privacy shield on app-switcher.
NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE VA
AfterAction is an independent companion app to help you research and prepare your own materials. It is not legal advice, not medical advice, and not a VA service. File your claims through VA.gov or a VA-accredited VSO.

What's new (v1.2.0)
NEW: Claim Journey — AfterAction now walks you through the entire claims process.
• See exactly where your claim is: nine stages from Intent to File through your decision letter, matching the same steps you see on VA.gov.
• Plain-English guidance for every stage: what's happening, how long it typically takes, and what you can do right now.
• Intent to File countdown: reminders before your 365-day filing window closes, so you never lose your effective date.
• C&P exam reminders: a heads-up the week before and the day before your exam, plus a prompt to log how it went while it's fresh.
• Two new Service Ribbons: Claim Filed and Decision.
• Ask Siri: "What stage is my claim in?"
• New floating quick-log button and visual polish throughout.
Your stage is self-reported and all guidance is educational — check VA.gov for your official status. As always: everything above is free, your data never leaves your device, and there are no ads and no trackers.
