The dream journal
for the two of you.
ost of the dream-journal apps I tried felt like productivity tools with mystical decoration.
Bright, gamified, full of streak-counters and motivational copy and badges for “100 dreams logged.” None of it matched the actual experience of waking up at 6am with a fragment in your head and ninety seconds before it's gone forever.
(Yes, this happens to me too. That is, in part, why this exists.)
So I built the thing I wanted: voice-first, mobile-first, calm enough to use with one eye open, quiet enough to sustain over years. Set in Fraunces and Geist. Designed to feel like a literary journal you'd be embarrassed to lose.
Why for two
One morning my partner and I realised we’d both dreamed about the same kitchen — different doors, different weather, the same kitchen. We sat with our coffee and tried to describe it to each other, and the conversation lasted longer than either of us expected.
That breakfast is the whole reason this app exists in its present shape. After years of telling people about dreams in the morning — out loud, half-awake, half-remembered — I realised most of us are doing this with the person who sleeps next to us. Nobody had built that on purpose. So we did.
Two journals, one shared sky. Each of you keeps your own page, fully private. In the middle, the symbols and rooms you both dream this week begin to glow. On Sunday morning, one quiet paragraph about the week you slept through together. The interpretation, alone or together, is yours to make.
You can also use it on your own. The solo flow lives on /pricing as a side-door, but everything that follows on this page — the home, the banners, the OG cards, the morning letter — was designed with two people in mind first.
Who built it
DreamTracker is built by the same studio that ships EnterMedSchool — used daily by hundreds of thousands of students preparing for medical school in Italy and beyond — and LionBot, their daily practice tool. The studio has been quietly shipping educational software since 2019, run by Ari Horesh from Pavia, Italy.
The quizzes, the dictionary, and every claim on this site are rooted in published sleep and couple-systems research. Each piece cites its sources at the bottom of the page. Where the literature is uncertain, we say so plainly and don’t fill the gap with invented confidence.
DreamTracker is the studio's first product about the night.
If a feature would not exist in a literary publication, I should probably be careful about adding it.
What I believe
Three opinions, stated plainly, that drive most product decisions here:
Dreams are private until you decide otherwise. Voice recordings live in private storage. Sharing with a therapist is per-dream and revocable. Nobody trains anything on your data, and the studio would not survive a breach of trust on this point.
Patterns matter more than interpretations. I don't generate “your dream means X” essays. I just line up the things that come back — repeated images, drifting moods, lucid moments. The interpretation, if there is one, is yours to make.
Therapists are partners, not gatekeepers. Linked clients get the full thing for free, because therapeutic dream-work shouldn't cost more than the therapy itself. Therapists pay per seat in a model designed to be obviously fair.
What I'm not building
A social network for dreams. Generated dream art. A “dream-meaning” chatbot. A subscription wrapper for stock photography. The thing where you train a model on your own journal and let it talk back. None of this is interesting to me, and most of it would be actively bad.
I'm building one good calm tool for one quiet purpose, and I'm trying to do it for a long time.
What’s not on this page
DreamTracker is not a clinical tool. It does not diagnose. It does not give medical advice. It surfaces patterns; the meaning is yours to make. The studio’s background is in medical education — not in clinical practice — and we keep the line between “the people who built this software” and “what this software is for” bright on purpose. If a dream is troubling you, please talk to a person you trust, or a clinician.
