Dreamy - AI Dream Interpretation

A single developer can build a useful local dream-journal + LLM interpretation app in multiple weeks, but reproducing the full paid product (polished mobile UX, curated audio library, community and subscription polish) is more work and benefits from the vendor's design/content assets.

No open-source build does this yet

Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.

What a replacement has to do

  • User writes a dream entry → app analyzes text with an LLM to produce an interpretation → store entry locally and update time-series stats → user views charts or plays sleep music.

What it still won’t have

  • Proprietary trained model and any vendor-tuned interpretation logic
  • App-store polish, onboarding funnels, and marketing
  • Community features and social interactions
  • Curated full meditation music library and licensing
  • Trust signals and reviews that drive downloads

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt

Not run yet
Build a cross-platform mobile app (React Native + Expo) with a local encrypted SQLite journal, a minimal backendless integration to an LLM API (OpenAI or Anthropic) for text interpretation, charting with a JS charting library, and local audio playback for guided music. In scope: journaling UI, submit-to-LLM flow with prompt templates, store & encrypt entries locally, aggregate basic charts (theme frequency, emotions over time), play packaged audio tracks, and basic onboarding. Out of scope: multi-user server sync, social/community features, and in-app purchases. Include error handling for network/LLM failures, unit and integration tests for storage and LLM calls, and a short README with local build and test steps.

How the score was reached

  • Partly verdict base52
  • 4 cited sources+3
  • Evidence score55

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
