## What is Dorsal?

Ever wake up from a wild dream, only to forget it minutes later? Dorsal helps you capture dreams before they disappear and explore the patterns, emotions, and ideas within them.
Recognized as a 2026 Apple Swift Student Challenge Distinguished Winner, Dorsal combines dream journaling with Apple’s on-device intelligence to create a private and personal way to reflect on your dreams.

Record a dream by voice while it is still fresh. Use Dorsal, Siri, Shortcuts, or the Action Button to start quickly without typing.

DISCOVER DREAM PATTERNS
On-device intelligence analyzes your journal to surface recurring themes, symbols, emotions, people, and places across your dreams.

EXPLORE SLEEP INSIGHTS
Combine optional HealthKit sleep information with your dream journal and vocal fatigue insights to better understand your sleep and recovery.

VISUALIZE YOUR DREAMS
