The Next Chapter App

A private companion app for the Circle — verified profiles, trusted circles, travel check-ins and safety tools you control.

Why we are building it

For women who travel, connect and live independently

Circle members asked for a safer way to meet each other, to travel alone with someone keeping an eye out, and to stay connected without giving up their privacy.

The Next Chapter App is being designed for exactly that — and for the families and friends who want to know that someone they love has arrived safely.

This website explains the app — it is not the app

The app is a separate, private application. When it launches, members will sign in through the Member login link at the top of every page.

Features

What the app will do

Planned features — described at a high level while the app is in development.

Verified profiles

Members are verified before they can connect, so you know who you are talking to.

Trusted circles

Choose the small group of people who can see your plans and check-ins.

Member connections

Meet women with shared interests — travel, reading, walking, starting again.

Travel planning

Plan a route or journey and share it with your trusted circle.

Check-in & check-out

Let your circle know you have arrived — and get a gentle reminder if you have not.

Safety tools you control

Trusted contacts, an SOS concept and location sharing only when you turn it on.

Family / trusted-person access

A limited view for the people who worry about you — only with your consent.

Partner offers

Later: selected offers from partners who share our values.

Privacy by design

Your information, your choice

Location is never shared by default. You decide who is in your trusted circle, what they can see and for how long. We collect only what the app needs, and you can export or delete your data.

  • Off by default — you turn sharing on
  • Time-limited sharing
  • No selling of personal data
  • Clear controls to leave and delete
