Your dreams, your meaning.
Some dreams you only write down if no one will read them. Some meanings you only find if no one tells you first.

Your dreams
You write differently when no part of you is wondering who might find this later.
Real privacy costs something. Your journal lives on your phone, so backups and moving to a new device are yours to manage, and reDream gives you the tools for both. For the right person that is the point, not the price.
Your meaning
A reading that does not fit you is worse than none, and you see it before you have had the chance to think for yourself.
Date, title, and what you remember. Everything past the text is optional, so nothing stands between waking up and getting the dream down.
What you make of it goes in a field of its own. Your reading sits next to the dream instead of mixed into it, and it stays yours to change later. Mark a dream lucid and it stays marked, in amber, wherever it turns up afterwards.
No AI reads your entries. No symbol database. No suggested meanings. What a dream means, if anything, is yours to decide.
Your tags
Nobody else can say what was different about this dream. Tags are the only structure reDream puts on your journal, and everything in your statistics comes from them.
Free text, up to 30 characters, as many on one dream as it takes. From then on that dream and every other one carrying the word are connected.
Not a summary of the dream. The people in it, the place, the feeling you woke with, the objects and situations that keep returning.
Typing searches the tags you already have before it offers to make a new one. nightmare and nightmares side by side split one pattern into two halves that never surface.
One dream tagged ocean tells you nothing. As soon as two dreams share a pair of tags, that pair is in your statistics, and what keeps repeating rises to the top.
Figure out your system as you figure out your dream life.
Your patterns
anxiety and work in the same dreams is a revelation for one person and a shrug for another. Only you know which.
How often you remember a dream, how many of them were lucid, which nights you wrote something down, which tags keep coming back, and which ones keep showing up together.
Every card in the statistics is phrased as a question. Which tags keep showing up in dreams? Which pairs show up together? When do you remember your dreams? The app never answers one of them.
What do I keep dreaming about?
Your tags, by how often they turn up.
Who keeps showing up?
Tag the people, and they get counted too.
What comes up with anxiety?
The tag pairs that share the most dreams.
Are my lucid dreams different?
Some tags lean lucid. Others don’t.
How far back does this go?
First dream and latest, on the tag’s own page.
Where else does water turn up?
Every dream that has it.
Some of it will be obvious, some of it is noise, and some of it will stop you. Telling those apart is the part no app can do for you.
Coming back
A journal only helps if you actually go back to it.
The home screen keeps one of your dreams, drawn at random, ready to read. In the journal itself, search finds a dream by keyword, and filters narrow it by date range, dream type, tag, or the ones you never tagged.
Open a dream and the ones sharing its tags sit underneath it. If rereading gives you a word you did not have back then, you can tag it right there.
reDream Pro
Pro is for when you have enough dreams that the statistics start pointing somewhere. The same journal, the same tags, the same numbers, just shown in more detail.
The cards below are filled with a sample journal, not anyone’s real one.
The free app keeps everything it always had. Pro only adds to it, and always will. Pro is one purchase through Google Play, priced per region: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, and whatever Pro gains later comes with it.

Android keeps each app's data to itself, so Pro starts empty. Your journal comes across with export and import, the same tools you would use to move to a new phone.
Uninstalling an app deletes its data, and there is no cloud copy to fall back on. That is the same reason nobody else can read your journal. Once Pro has everything, the free app can go.
No. reDream records and counts. It doesn't interpret. There is no AI reading your entries and no symbol database suggesting meanings. You write, you tag, and you decide what a dream means, if anything.
Yes. Mark any entry as lucid and reDream tracks your lucid rate over time, shows lucid nights on your yearly heatmap, and breaks down the lucid share of every tag.
Yes, there is an optional daily reminder that can be enabled in the settings.
Any. Dreams and tags are yours to write however feels right. reDream doesn't process your text, so no language is unsupported. The app's own interface is English for now, with German planned.
reDream is currently Android-only, available on Google Play. It is a solo-developed project, growing feature by feature.
Yes, and not only by policy. reDream does not ask for the internet permission, so Android will not let it open a connection at all. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking — there is nothing for it to reach, and nothing it could send if there were.
In a local database on your device. reDream never sends them anywhere: there is no server, and the developer has no way to see your entries. The usual Android protections apply, so other apps can't read reDream's data. Anyone you hand your unlocked phone to is a different matter, which is what the app lock is for.
Not if you turn on the app lock. reDream then asks for your device's own screen lock (fingerprint, face, or PIN) every time it opens. reDream never sees your credentials.
Your journal goes with it. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy waiting on a server for you, and the developer has none either. That is the trade-off of real privacy, and it is the same fact that keeps anyone else out. So export your journal regularly. Give the export a passphrase and where you keep it stops being a question of trust: Drive, Dropbox, a USB stick, an email to yourself, it is unreadable to all of them without it. Restoring on a new phone is a single import.
Yes, if you set the new phone up from the old one. Android copies reDream's data across with your other apps, directly between the two devices, without it passing through Google or anyone else. This is not a backup, though: it needs your old phone working and in your hands. For a phone that is lost, broken, or already wiped, the export file is what saves you. One caveat worth knowing: your phone's manufacturer usually ships backup and phone-cloning software of its own. It does not necessarily follow the settings reDream asks for, and the app cannot detect or prevent it. The privacy policy sets out exactly where reDream's control over this ends.
Only if you choose to encrypt them. By default an export is a plain, readable file, and that is intentional: your journal stays usable without reDream, forever. When you export, you can set a passphrase instead, and the file is then locked with AES-256-GCM and cannot be read without it. Nobody can recover that passphrase for you, including the developer, so a forgotten one means that copy stays closed. A plain export is only as private as the place you keep it, so choose that place the way you'd choose where to keep a paper journal.
Yes. reDream is the full journal, with no ads and no subscription, and it stays that way. reDream Pro is a separate one-time purchase that adds more statistics views. There is also an optional Ko-fi where I post updates and you can support development.
More ways to look at the counts you already have: dreams over time by day, week, or month; which week days your dreams cluster on; groups of three or more tags that keep returning together; your tag connections read across lucid dreams or the rest; custom date ranges; every tag's page in full; and a random dream drawn out of any list you have filtered. Pro reads nothing into any of it, exactly like the free app.
Neither. Pro is a separate app on Google Play that you buy once. Neither app contains billing code, so there is nothing to buy inside them and no subscription to cancel. The price is set per region, so Google Play shows the amount where you are.
No. The purchase belongs to your Google account, not to the phone. Sign in on the new device and reDream Pro installs from Google Play like anything else you have bought. Your dreams are the separate half of that: they were never on Google's servers, so they come across from your old phone with an export, exactly as they would for the free app.
No. Android keeps each app's data separate, so Pro starts empty. Your journal comes across by hand: export it from the free app, install Pro, then import the file. Moving from reDream to Pro walks through it step by step.
Yes. They are separate apps with separate journals, and neither one knows the other is there. Nothing syncs between them, so a dream written in one will not appear in the other.
Google Play. It is the seller for paid apps, so payment, receipts, and refund requests all go through Google under its terms. reDream never receives your name or payment details.
reDream is solo-developed and grows feature by feature. It collects no analytics, so email is how I learn what works and what you wish it did. Ideas and requests are as welcome as bug reports.
