Description
Never forget a dream again. Dreams don't wait for a pen - Dreamlock listens the moment you wake; speak while your eyes are still closed, and the dream is safe before it fades.
By morning it returns as a card: the story retold, the symbols named, the mood caught - and a painting of the night, made for that dream alone.
WAKE. SPEAK. IT'S KEPT.
- Capture by voice in the dark - your words are written down on the iPhone itself as you speak.
- Half-sentences are fine. Dreamlock reads through the mumbling.
- Your journal stays behind Face ID.
