Dreamlock

Dreamlock is an iPhone dream journal app available on the App Store. Users mumble a voice note after waking during the night, and the app processes it on the phone to find the story, symbols, people, and mood. In the morning it produces a painted dream card that retells the dream and offers interpretations through tradition, psychology, and a reflective question. Over time it builds a personal symbol index and lets users ask questions about their own dreams, answered from their recorded dreams. The app is locked with Face ID, requires no account, and states that dream text is not stored on its servers. The website also offers free dream tools, including a dream symbol finder that runs in the browser, a sleep calculator, and a 'One dream, nine cultures' comparison. Free tier includes unlimited dream capture and 3 painted cards per week; Plus adds full interpretation, the symbol index, unlimited questions, a monthly report, and iCloud sync.
