Halfwake
A quiet place for your dreams
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
A few words. A feeling. A place you almost remember.
Halfwake gives your dreams somewhere to land before the morning takes them away. Write a fragment, record your voice, or capture a feeling, then return when you are ready.
CATCH THE MOMENT
Save quick notes and longer dreams with feelings and details. On-device transcription is available on supported phones and languages. Keep the original recording alongside your words.
RETURN TO YOUR JOURNAL
Read and search your dreams, revisit them by date, and explore recurring feelings and symbols. Your dream sky grows with each saved dream. Choose a world, follow saved connections, and return to the story behind a star.
ON YOUR WRIST
The Apple Watch companion saves words and voice notes on the watch, even without a phone nearby. Browse its journal and dream sky. An optional phone connection shares recent excerpts and recordings in both directions. Native dictation availability depends on the watch and language.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Adjust text size, reduce motion, choose dream sounds, and set a gentle reminder. English and Simplified Chinese are supported.
OPTIONAL HALFWAKE PLUS
Core dream logging, the journal, and JSON/CSV journal export are free. Plus unlocks nine additional artistic dream worlds, continuous soundscapes, 30- and 90-day pattern views, premium watch appearance, and printable dream books, dream-sky artwork and calendars. Preview designs before exporting. Books export as PDF; sky and calendar artwork offer PDF, print-quality PNG, and smaller sharing JPG formats.
Eight original soundscapes play quietly on your phone while Halfwake is open. With Plus and Dream sounds enabled, Atlas and dream reading can start them automatically. A visible sound toggle lets you play or mute at any time. Your mute choice is remembered; recording, playback and interruptions take priority.
Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. Prices and renewal terms are shown before purchase for your store and region. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your store account. Restore purchases from the Plus screen.
YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR CHOICE
Start locally without an account. Plus includes optional journal cloud sync and private voice backup. Voice backup is off by default and requires your explicit choice. Without it, recordings stay local to your devices. Existing cloud backups remain readable and restorable after Plus expires. Turning backup off stops new uploads; delete a dream or your Halfwake account to remove its cloud copy. Usage analytics and diagnostic reports are separate opt-ins. Halfwake supports personal reflection, not medical advice or diagnosis.

Ratings & Reviews

Find your dream sounds more easily with a persistent Atlas toggle and a visible reading control. Optional quiet autoplay remembers your mute choice. All eight original soundscapes have longer, more spacious loops. Apple Watch Atlas labels now follow Dynamic Type, and nested navigation is improved.
