About

DriftJournal

Features
Read full description

DriftJournal is a dream journal built for the moment you wake up. Capture a dream in seconds while it is still fresh, tag the themes and symbols that recur, and watch the patterns across your nights come into focus. No account, no tracking. Your dreams stay private on your device and in your own iCloud, and sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. FAST MORNING CAPTURE A capture screen built for 6 AM: a big title, a roomy space for the dream, one tap for your mood on waking, and lucid or recurring flags. Everything past the first line is optional, so you can write it down and go back to sleep. THEMES, SYMBOLS, AND CHARACTERS Tag each dream with the themes, characters, symbols, and places in it. Tags are shared across dreams, so the flight you keep taking or the staircase that keeps appearing is counted every time. The symbol index gathers them into a constellation of what your nights keep returning to. PATTERNS ACROSS YOUR NIGHTS DriftJournal counts your recurring themes and surfaces the ones that repeat most, tracks your mood on waking as a trend line, and charts how many dreams you recall each week. A recall streak counts your run of consecutive mornings, and your longest streak is kept as a record. MOOD ON WAKING Set the mood you woke with in one tap while you log the dream, or leave a quick morning check-in on a day you remember nothing. Both feed the mood trend, so the shape of how you wake up becomes visible over time. ON THIS NIGHT The home screen surfaces the dreams you had on this same night in earlier years, so your journal quietly hands back the anniversaries you would have forgotten. SEARCH EVERYTHING Search every dream by word, tag, or symbol, and filter to just your lucid or recurring dreams. YOUR DREAM BOOK Export a printable PDF keepsake of every dream grouped by month, with the full pattern report of your recurring themes and symbols, or a clean CSV for your own records. FREE VS PRO Free includes your first 20 dreams with every tool: fast capture, themes and symbols, lucid and recurring flags, mood on waking, the insight charts, on this night, and search. Pro unlocks unlimited dreams, the Dream Book PDF and CSV export, and the full pattern report. Monthly $3.99 USD, yearly $24.99 USD, or a one time lifetime unlock at $59.99 USD. DriftJournal is a personal journal for your own records. Capture the dream, tag it, and let the patterns build. Pro subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions; cancellation applies at the end of the current period.
