Your dreams disappear within 90 seconds of waking up. Poof is the zero-friction, 100% private dream journal designed to capture your subconscious before it fades. Unlike standard journal apps that hide your private thoughts behind $60/year subscriptions or send your diary to third-party cloud servers, Poof is local-first, offline-capable, and completely free. FAST MORNING CAPTURE • Instant Voice Dictation: Speak your dream the moment you wake up. • Sleep-Haze Cleanup: Automatically cleans up morning speech rambling and pinpoints core symbols without altering your raw words. • 1-Tap Quick Anchors: Log fast keyword pills (Flying, Ocean, Falling) with a single tap when typing is too much effort. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE & REFLECTIONS • 100% Local Privacy: Powered by the Apple Neural Engine. Your journals and voice notes never leave your iPhone. • Grounded Interpretation: Choose between Jungian Archetypes (Shadow Self & Individuation), Cognitive Neuroscience (Memory Consolidation), or Creative Screenplay prompts. • Socratic Inquiry: Get tailored introspective questions to explore recurring symbols throughout your day. • Offline Dream Q&A: Ask questions about your dream and receive grounded, private psychological perspectives. PERSONAL SUBCONSCIOUS DOSSIER Prime your journal with the real people, recurring stressors, and core memories in your life. Poof links dream symbols to your actual waking context rather than generic dictionary definitions. 3:00 AM CIRCADIAN NIGHT MODE Waking up in the middle of the night? Poof uses an ultra-low-sensory OLED Obsidian theme with 0% blue light and gentle haptic feedback so logging never disrupts your sleep cycle. BRAIN TRENDS & METRICS • 1-Tap Scoring: Log vividness, lucidity, and mood in seconds. • Pattern Radar: Track recurring motif clusters across weeks and months. • Subconscious Weather: Monitor shifts between conscious clarity and deep REM surrender. • Biometric Face ID Vault: Protect your deepest reflections under local hardware encryption. • BYO Cloud AI (Optional): Plug in your own personal API keys if you want massive cloud model reasoning. No paywalls. No ads. No tracking. Your subconscious belongs to you.
