A Calm Place for Your Night
A short preview of the Dream Catcher experience.
Made for Nights and Mornings
A Dream Practice That Stays With You
Voice Dream Capture
Speak your dream the moment you wake. A single tap records and transcribes it before the memory slips away.
AI Reflection
A thoughtful, plain-English reflection on each dream — exploring possible meanings as open questions, never a fixed interpretation.
Pattern Insights Over Time
Recurring symbols, settings, and emotions surface across weeks of journaling — the quiet threads running through your nights.
Lucid-Dream Habit Building
Gentle reality-check reminders and dream-recall prompts help you build the daily habits that support lucid dreaming over time.
A Living Night Sky
Sparkling stars, moonlight, and the occasional shooting star create a quiet place to remember. Reduce Motion is respected throughout.
Dream Art
Turn the mood and symbols of a dream into an image, then keep it with the entry or share a privacy-conscious dream card.
Private by Design
Your journal stays on your device or in your private iCloud account. Apple Health sleep data is read-only and never leaves the device. No ads, tracking, or data sales.
Under the Hood
What Runs on Your Phone
Every reply checked before it renders
The reflection streams into a buffer that is re-scanned after each chunk against a fixed table of diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive and absolute-certainty phrasings. The instant one matches, the text stops being revealed, the reply is regenerated once, and a second failure shows a fixed human-written response instead of model output — so a diagnosis or a prediction never reaches the screen at all.
Distress detection built for nightmares
Dreams are full of dying, falling and violence, so the crisis check keys on present-tense, self-directed intent rather than on violent words. "In my dream I died falling off a cliff" is journalled normally; "I want to die" discards the interpretation and routes to a care message with crisis resources. Twelve ordinary nightmare phrasings are pinned in tests as must-not-fire.
Dream imagery generated on the phone
Each dream gets a constellation drawn from a hash of its own id, mood, vividness and symbol count, so the same dream always produces the same image with no network call and no per-image cost. On Apple Intelligence hardware the "Visualize" option uses Image Playground's on-device illustration style, and deliberately never the external-provider (ChatGPT) route.
Recurring dreams found locally
Every entry is reduced to a keyword set and compared against earlier ones by Jaccard overlap; two or more shared keywords above the threshold mark an echo. Those recurring motifs are then handed to the next reflection as context, phrased as an observation rather than a verdict. The comparison runs on the device, with no server involved.
How We Compare
Not a Dream Dictionary
Dream dictionaries hand you a fixed meaning for a symbol; note apps hand you a blank page. Dream Catcher does the thing that actually helps — captures the dream before it fades, then reflects on your dream rather than a lookup table.
