Tuckdream
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tuckdream is a dream diary you'll actually revisit. Dreams scatter and fade by morning. Hold the record button and tell the jar your dream; or write a few lines and let it settle onto paper. Then pick a jar—mint star or honey amber crystal, or fine Chinese porcelain: Tang tri-color, Ru celadon, blue-and-white lotus, Jilan star-rail—and tuck the dream inside, seal the lid. Every dream has its own temperament: flying or falling, lucid or hazy, about an old friend or about an exam. Add a few photos, a few keywords, and the dream takes shape. The main screen is a row of shelves—jars lined up, sorted by month. Long-press to move or delete. The archive collects all your past dreams, folded by month, ready to revisit. Every jar stays with you. All dream data lives only on your device — no account, no cloud sync, no ads. · Voice or text entry with one-tap transcription, 10 minutes per dream · 6 fine crystal jars + 16 Chinese porcelain skins (Tang, Ru, Qinghua, Jilan) + 4 Sanxingdui bronze jars · Motif and clarity tags give dreams shape · Archive folded by month, long-press to delete · Stamp-style launch screen, one second into the dream One-time purchase, yours forever.
