A place to collect the things you dream of doing

An iPhone app for collecting and logging experiences.

Ideas for new adventures can come from everywhere. A friend’s recommendation, your Instagram feed, a YouTube video, or a magazine article. You save them in bookmarks, Apple Notes or Google Maps. Then they get lost between everything else. So I thought, why not build one place for all of it? An app to keep the experiences I dream about, and log the ones I’ve had. Designed and built by me, and it’s free in the App Store.

What Daydream does

Collect experiences

Save anything you want to do someday. Each experience holds a location, a date, links and notes. Experiences come first, places second. It’s about what you do, not just where you go.

Save from anywhere

Found something in another app? Send it straight to Daydream with the share extension. No copying, no switching.

See them on a map

Every experience lives on a map. Pin a single spot, a whole country or multiple stops.

Log what you’ve done

Done something? Log it. A timeline keeps track of everything you’ve experienced. Your someday list slowly becomes a record of what you did.

Add a picture

Search for an image right from the app, powered by Unsplash API. No more hunting for photos yourself.

Make it yours

Switch layouts to browse the way you like. Long-press any experience for quick actions. Turn haptics on or off. Go light or dark. Even pick your own app icon.

Private by default

No account. No login. No analytics. No social network. Everything stays on your phone.
