After Hours guide

How can we help?

Everything you need to enter the site, use each section, and understand the controls.

Getting access

Patreon login

Choose Log in or sign up, then use Google, Apple, Facebook, or email on Patreon. After authorization, you return to the feed. Your After Hours Patreon membership determines which posts you can open.

Access codes

If After Hours gave you a code, open Access code login. The first time, enter your name, email, code, and create a password. Later, use that email and password to return.

If login fails

Check that you used the intended Patreon account. Paid posts may require the appropriate membership tier. Access codes must still be active and unexpired.

What the icons do

These controls stay available without getting in the way of the content.

Help

Opens this guide whenever you need a reminder.

Install the app

Adds After Hours to your phone or computer like an app. It opens from your home screen and does not require an app-store download. If already installed, this option may disappear.

Day and night mode

Switches between the lighter daytime design and the darker night design. The site remembers your choice on that device.

Notifications

Opens recent updates such as new posts and stories. A number on the icon means something is waiting to be read.

Using the site

The main navigation keeps every member feature close by.

Feed

View After Hours’ regular posts and Daily After Hours stories. Tap a story circle to open it. Use the heart to like a post, Save to keep it for later, and Comment to join the conversation.

Shop

Find special paid posts and offers. Some items may open through Patreon Shop or use a separate unlock code provided with a purchase.

Community

Join member conversations, respond to prompts and polls, and see community updates. Keep posts respectful and private to the membership.

Photos and video

Tap media to view it at a larger size. Use the arrows when a post contains more than one item. Some media may take a moment to load on a slower connection.

Badges and access tiers

Your profile can show a badge or Patreon tier. Posts restricted to a higher tier appear only when the connected membership or access code includes that permission.

Your account and privacy

Manage your identity and keep your access secure.

Edit profile

Open your profile control to change the username and profile picture shown with comments and community activity.

Sign out

Use Sign out when sharing a device. Signing out does not cancel your Patreon membership or delete your profile.

Keep content private

Member photos, videos, stories and posts are for personal viewing. Do not repost or share private content outside the site.

Still stuck?

Contact After Hours through Patreon and include the email connected to your membership, what device you are using, and a screenshot of the problem.
