Free and Forward

Never forget the past. Learn from it. Move free and forward.

No phone? No problem

Sign in from any computer

You do not need a smartphone to use Free and Forward. Your account works from any web browser — a library computer, a workforce center, a family member's laptop, a computer at your program or halfway house.

Everything except photos of your documents backs up to your account, so whatever you set up on one device is already there on the next one. And a real keyboard makes writing a resume far easier than a phone screen ever will.

What you can do from a computer

Your checklist and calendar

Every step, due date, court date and check-in, exactly as it appears on a phone. Add and tick things off from the browser.

Resume and cover letters

This is the one worth doing on a computer. A real keyboard, a bigger screen, and a printer nearby at most libraries.

Job board and applications

Browse employers who hire people with records, and keep the tracker current so you know what you sent and when to follow up.

What stays on the phone

Photos of your documents. Those never leave the device they were taken on, on any tier — so they are not on the library computer either, which is the point.

Using a shared or public computer

Worth knowing if the computer is not yours:

1

Sign out when you are finished

Closing the browser window is not the same as signing out. Use the sign-out button so the next person cannot open your account.

2

Say no if the browser offers to save your password

On a shared machine that leaves your password behind for whoever sits down next.

3

Nobody is watching what you type

Nothing you enter goes to any officer, court or agency, from a computer or a phone. That does not change based on whose device you are sitting at.

Coming soon

Web sign-in is being finished now

The browser version is in testing and will open alongside the phone apps. If you do not have a phone and want to know the moment it is live, email us and we will tell you — no list, no marketing, just the one message.
