How it works

From half-awake to a night you keep.

Sweet Dreams is a private journal for the dreams you wake up with. Tell it, see it, reflect if you want to, and notice what comes back.

01 · Capture

Say it half-awake.

Press record and tell it however you remember it. Apple creates the first editable transcript on supported devices, and your original recording stays with the entry so you can listen again.

While you speak, the light listens. Type instead when speaking isn’t convenient, or start from Apple Watch or a widget.

02 · Imprint

Every night leaves an imprint.

Each dream you keep becomes an imprint: a soft, grainy light drawn on your device from your own words. Feelings set its color, what the dream was made of sets its shape, how much happened sets its movement, and how much you remember sets its focus.

There is nothing to adjust, and no AI image model is involved. The words that shaped it are underlined in your dream.

03 · Organize

Let the details arrange themselves.

With your permission, AI can improve the transcript and suggest a concise title and descriptive tags. Both features are selected by default for the best experience, clearly confirmed the first time, independently controlled in Settings, and always editable.

04 · Reflect

Start with what it means to you.

Every ordinary reflection identifies a specific thread in the dream’s own sequence. Answer at most two neutral questions about what felt important and what it brings to mind, and Sweet Dreams may add one tentative waking-life connection to consider. Skip both and the reading stays with the dream itself.

A possibility to consider, not a fixed meaning.

05 · Patterns

Notice what returns.

Your nights gather into five weeks of imprints. Descriptive tags show what actually appeared. Patterns combine exact recurrence counts with the source-linked connections you chose to remember—without turning them into universal meanings.

06 · Share

Take the dream with you.

Share a natural, plain-language copy by text or with an AI tool you already use, or save its imprint as a card. Only the words you choose are shared—never the recording or your private account details.

07 · Private by design

Your dreams are yours.

Your journal belongs to your account, with no public profile and no advertising use. Enhanced transcription, organization, and Guided Reflection each have their own permission, and each can be turned off whenever you want.
