Hey everyone, I'm Thomas, the maker of DreamTap!
A few weeks before launch, I got a cease & desist letter.
My original brand name was apparently too close to an existing trademark. I panicked. Months of work, and now I had to rebrand everything?
Turns out the C&D was fake: sent from "crahooli.com" (not google.com). But by then I'd already torn apart my entire brand. And in doing so, I accidentally discovered what actually mattered about my app.
My old tagline was clever. It sounded cool. But nobody understood what the app did at first glance.
A Redditor DMed me: "I visited your website and I don't know WTF it does."
My ego screamed but he was right!
So I stripped it all back to one truth: this app is engineered for 3AM.
You know that moment when you wake up from a vivid dream? You grab your phone, get blinded by the screen, fumble through an app, and by the time you're ready to type... the dream is gone.
DreamTap is built for exactly that moment. One tap. Start talking. The screen stays dark, silence detection stops the recording when you drift off, and by morning you have a full transcription, AI-generated visuals, and symbolic analysis waiting for you.
A few things that were important to me:
- Privacy first: your dreams are deeply personal. Everything is stored locally on your device. Audio and text only leave your phone when you choose to use the AI features.
- Zero friction: no menus, no bright screens, no typing. Just speak and sleep.
- Meaningful analysis: not generic interpretations. Choose from Jungian, Christian, Islamic, Taoist, and more. Your dreams, your lens.
That fake C&D ended up being the best thing that happened to this product, It forced me to stop hiding behind branding and start leading with the problem.
Currently iOS only, but the Android version is actively in development so if you're on Android and interested, drop a comment! It helps me prioritize.
Would love to hear how you capture your dreams (or if you've given up trying).
Happy to answer any questions!
