You wake at 3 a.m. with a dream still vivid. Say it out loud or type it, and Dream Eater keeps it safe, with the real moon and sky of that night beside it. THE JOURNAL IS FREE, FOREVER Voice capture that works offline and turns your words into text on your iPhone. Drafts that survive a crash. A calendar, search, tags, favorites, export. No account, no sign-up, nothing standing between you and the half-remembered. A READING IN YOUR OWN WORDS Ask for a reading and get a reflection, not a verdict. It quotes your dream back to you, asks open questions, and names the tradition when one reads an image a certain way (Jungian, Gestalt, folk). It never claims a symbol has one fixed meaning, and it never claims to know what will happen. THE MOON AND THE SKY Every dream is stamped with the moon phase and the Moon's sign from that night, computed on your iPhone. Add your birth details if you like, and see your chart and what is passing through it. Astrology here is a reflective lens, not evidence about your life, and it is optional. PATTERNS THAT ARE TRUE See your streak, your tones and feelings, the themes that keep coming back, and when you dream. If you ask whether the moon matters, the app tells you honestly how many nights it takes to say anything, and shows what chance alone would give you. ART MADE FROM YOUR DREAM Turn a dream into a picture in one of six styles, from soft dreamscape to ink wash to collage. Save it, or share a card with the dream's title and the moon. BUILT FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT A Record button on the Lock Screen and in Control Center, a moon widget, a Bedside theme that keeps the light low. Large text, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion are supported throughout. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your dreams, recordings, transcripts, tags and birth details stay on your device. When you ask for a reading, the dream text goes to our server and on to Google's Gemini model to write it, and our server keeps no dream text afterward. You choose whether readings are on, and you can delete everything from Settings. FREE, PLUS, OR PAY AS YOU GO Three readings a week are free. Plus unlocks unlimited readings, dream art in six styles, follow-up questions and your sky. Start with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan, or skip subscriptions and buy credits that never expire. Dream Eater is for reflection and entertainment. It is not medical, psychological or therapeutic advice. If you are struggling, support is one tap away in Settings, Help, Crisis resources. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan for new subscribers. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
