You probably don’t remember what you dreamed about last night.
A new app called Shadow is attempting to change that, offering an easy way for you to record your dreams, track them, and discover what they might all mean.

According to Shadow, 95% of dreams are forgotten if they’re not recorded shortly after waking up. It aims to combat that by working first as an alarm clock that gently wakes you up through escalating alarms, transitioning you smoothly from sleeping to being awake.
Once you wake up, the app instantly has you type or speak answers to questions about your dreams, recording those memories while they’re still fresh in your mind. The longer you use the app, the more information you’ll be able to record, and the better your chances will be to discover patterns within those dreams.
Shadow is currently in invite-only beta. You can sign up to give the app a try on its website.
