## What is Dream Catcher?

Your dreams fade within minutes of waking. Dream Catcher helps you catch them before they slip away — then gently explore what they might mean.

ONE-TAP MORNING CAPTURE
From the moment you wake, a single tap records your dream by voice or text. No menus, no thinking — designed to work half-asleep, one-handed, in the dark.

A GENTLE MIRROR, NEVER AN AUTHORITY
A guard-railed AI companion reflects your dream back to you, wonders alongside you, and asks gentle questions. It never diagnoses, never predicts the future, and never tells you what your dream "definitely means." Your dream's meaning is always yours.

A SEARCHABLE DREAM JOURNAL
Every dream lives in a beautiful, searchable journal — with moods, lucidity, vividness, tags, and the recurring symbols that surface across your nights.

A DAYTIME TOTEM
Pick a totem you'll notice through the day. Each time you do, ask: "am I dreaming?" It's a simple habit that follows you into sleep — and builds toward lucid dreaming.

SEE YOUR PATTERNS (PRO)
On-device insights reveal how your dream vividness, moods, and lucid nights trend over time — and, if you connect Apple Health, how your sleep and your dreams move together. Computed entirely on your device, never uploaded.

FIND THE THREADS (PRO)
Ask Dream Catcher to look across your whole journal and gently reflect the recurring symbols, feelings, and shifts that connect your dreams over time. Each dream also surfaces quiet "echoes" of earlier ones it resembles.

YOUR DREAM BOOK
Export your journal — or a single dream — as a beautiful, printable PDF keepsake, complete with reflections and sketches.

SKETCH YOUR DREAMS (iPad & Mac)
Draw a dream with Apple Pencil and keep it beside the words.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your dreams live on your device. Health data never leaves it. No ads, no tracking, no analytics — ever.

FREE TO START
Capture and journal as much as you like, with one AI interpretation a day. Unlock unlimited interpretations, sleep insights, and a curated sleep-and-mind research feed with a one-time Pro purchase — no subscription.

DREAM ART & A LIVING SKY
Every dream receives a shareable celestial artwork. On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence can create an illustration entirely on-device. Sparkling stars, moonlight, and shooting stars make the app feel alive while respecting Reduce Motion.

The dreamcatcher originates with the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) people; we use it with respect for its heritage.
