Why dreams fade
Dreams rarely fail. They fade.
A list on New Year's Eve. A vision board in a drawer. The dream is big, the week is full, and the two never meet. Not because you stopped caring, but because nothing connects the life you want to the Tuesday you're living.
Dreamward is that connection.
The name is the method
Dream. Ward. Step.
“-ward” means toward, as in forward or homeward. Dreamward means toward your dream, and the app follows the same three moves.
Ward
Choose your direction for this season.
Not everything matters equally right now. Name the chapter you're in, pick up to five focus areas, and put the rest on a calm “not now” list.
Step
Walk it, one small step at a time.
Turn the vision into goals, and each goal into steps you can take this week. Today puts the next one in front of you, and a ten-minute weekly review keeps you on the path.
Inside your book
Everything you need to see clearly. Nothing you don't.
Life wheel
Rate each area from 1 to 10: how close is today to your vision? Watch the gaps close, season by season.
TodayVision
IKIGAI
A guided, fifteen-minute walk through four circles, ending in the sentence that says why you get up in the morning.
Today
Open the app and see what to do now: today’s steps, overdue first, checked off right where they are. One line for the journal, and where you stand.
Goals with their steps
Each goal holds its own steps and shows how far along it is. When you mark it achieved, the stars come out.
One keystroke away
Press Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac) to jump to any page, find a goal or journal entry by its words, or add a new step.
Chapters
Life moves in seasons. Each chapter has its own focus, and you can look back on every one.
Journal
Capture wins, doubts and ideas. They become part of the story you’re writing.
Vision boards
Images and words that make the dream visible, on a canvas you design.
Meet Clarity
Someone to think with.
Clarity is a personal assistant that knows your whole book. It helps you see what you truly want, find your direction, and take the next step. It writes your morning briefing, walks the weekly review with you, notices when a goal drifts, and suggests changes that you approve. It’s optional: Today, your goals and the weekly review all work without any AI.

Your AI, your billConnect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter or a local model. Dreamward never pays for your AI, and never sees it.

Nothing changes without youEvery change is a proposal you approve, and every change is logged.

You: I keep saying I’ll write the book, and then the week disappears.
Clarity: Here’s what I’m hearing: the book matters to you, but it keeps losing to everything urgent. Creativity is one of your focus areas this chapter. One small step: block 30 minutes on Thursday morning to outline chapter one. Shall I add it?
New action Outline chapter one · Thursday, 8:00
Private by design
Your dreams are nobody’s business model.
There is no Dreamward cloud. Your book lives on your computer, or on a server you control. Clarity talks only to the AI you choose, and only when you ask.
On your machineThe desktop app keeps your book on your computer. Self-hosted, every person gets their own database.
Checked and backed upYour book is checked and backed up before every update, and every day after that.
Take it anywhereDownload your whole book at any time and import it into another install.
Open source, no trackingAGPL-3.0, no telemetry. Read the code, run it, improve it.

Review
A guided ten minutes, no AI needed: look back at the wins, re-rate your focus areas, and choose next week’s steps.
Your first 15 minutes
Begin in fifteen minutes.
Once Dreamward is installed, a ninety-second tour shows you around. Then four small steps make it yours.
-
Name your chapter
Give the season you’re living a name and an intention, and pick 1–5 areas to focus on. The rest can wait.
-
Rate your life wheel
For each area: how close is today to your vision, from 1 to 10? Thirty seconds each, and the biggest gap shows itself.
-
Choose one step
Turn one goal into a step small enough for this week, and give it a date. It waits for you on Today. Check it off, and the star brightens.

Meet Clarity
Optional: connect an AI you already use, or a local model, and Clarity helps you plan the week from your own book.

Dreamward on GitHubQuestions
Good questions, honest answers.
Is Dreamward free?
Yes. Free and open source (AGPL-3.0). No account, no subscription, no ads.
Where is my data?
On your computer with the desktop app, or on your own server. There is no Dreamward cloud and no telemetry.
Do I need AI?
No. Today, the book, chapters, life wheel, IKIGAI, goals, journal and the weekly review all work without it. Clarity needs an AI provider you connect, a local model, or your own agent.
Is there a phone app?
Not yet. The desktop app runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. A self-hosted Dreamward works in your phone’s browser.
Is it a coaching program?
It’s a tool, not a program. The structure is a simple, open framework you can adapt, and Clarity helps you think rather than telling you what to do.
Does it speak Hebrew?
Yes. The whole app works in English and Hebrew, right-to-left included.
Why does my computer warn me when I install it?
Early versions aren’t code-signed yet, so Windows and macOS ask you to confirm once. The code is open, and every download has a published SHA-256 checksum.
