Rune Dream Join the beta

Think out loud.
Watch ideas take shape.

Rune Dream is a private, on-device creative workspace for iPhone and iPad. Speak the way you'd think — complete thoughts become cards on a living canvas that quietly groups, distills, and connects them. Then carry them into infinite dream canvases and make documents, drawings, songs, and living apps. Mindful AI works with you when you need it — and never takes the pen out of your hand.

Philosophy

AI should expand what you can think and make — not think and make for you.

Rune Dream is built on mindful, fully local AI that works with you when you need it and stays quiet when you don't. It takes things off your mental desk so your own intelligence has room to run. You stay the author, always.

Agency, not automation

The assistant waits to be called. It can draft, research, and build alongside you — but it never takes the pen out of your hand, and sustained flow is always protected.

It organizes itself

Complete thoughts become cards — never half-sentences. Related ideas drift into clusters, returning to a topic merges with what you already said, and headlines distill themselves.

Private by architecture

All inference runs on your device — speech, embeddings, the language model, the works. No accounts, no analytics, no servers. A built-in network guard enforces it. Local isn't a feature; it's what makes an AI you can trust with your inner voice possible at all.

Verbatim transcript

Every word you say or type is saved untouched, before any AI rewrite. The cards are the abstraction; the transcript is the truth — searchable and exportable.

Alive by design

A living background samples the colors around you and breathes with your thinking. Cards float like thought bubbles. The accent color rotates on every visit — small change keeps creativity moving.

Meet Rune

Say "Rune, what was the brother's name again?" and the on-device assistant answers from your own notes — or general knowledge. It hears what you capture, remembers across sessions, and helps only when you ask.

Two spaces, one assistant

Think to capture. Work to make. Rune follows you across both.

Most software makes you pick a file type before you've had the idea. Rune Dream bends to whatever shape the idea takes.

Think

A canvas that listens

Capture thoughts as you have them — by voice or keyboard. No structure required; the canvas does the organizing while you keep moving.

  • Thought bubbles, not forms. Speak naturally; complete ideas land as floating cards with distilled headlines.
  • Echoes across sessions. The canvas quietly surfaces resonance with what you've thought before.
  • Import anything. Notes, PDFs, Word files, and pasted text become cards too.
  • Thinking modes. Free think, reflective journal, decision lab, story workshop — each tunes the canvas and the wind-down, grounded in published research.
  • Gentle sensing. Opt-in heart-rate and pupil signals help the app know when to offer a nudge — and when to stay silent.
Work — dream canvases

Where ideas become finished things

A dream is an infinite canvas with pages that work as layers, scenes, or takes. Everything lives together on one surface — no file-type walls.

  • Write & import. Full documents with templates and live spreadsheets, or drop in PDFs, Word files, and markdown.
  • Record, edit & mix. Capture takes, trim and shape them, then mix multi-track audio into a finished song.
  • Draw & edit images. Sketch directly on the canvas; edit photos with layers, blend modes, and masks.
  • Thinking flows in, work flows out. Pull Think cards and transcripts onto the canvas; export the whole dream or any single piece.
  • Live code. Build Glyph apps that run on the canvas — or write HTML that renders live, with Python and Swift sketches alongside.
The Glyph language

A tiny language for cards that compute.

One line, one idea. A few lines make a live calculator, tracker, map, or game that runs right inside your canvas — no build step, no app store, no leaving your thought.

Readable by anyone

Glyph reads like a description of the card you want: title, input, metric, button. If you can read the line, you already know what it does.

Reactive and alive

Change an input and everything downstream updates instantly. Glyphs can tick every second, fetch live data from APIs and RSS feeds, embed maps and webpages, and remember their state.

Made for on-device AI

The grammar is small enough that the local model writes it fluently. Ask Rune to "make me a tip splitter" mid-thought and a working glyph lands on your canvas seconds later.

A library to start from

Calculator, calendar, lists, notepad, trip-planner maps, RSS reader, live stock tracker, clock, stopwatch, timer — even Pong. Every glyph you make or generate is saved to your library, ready to drop into any canvas and edit.

Not just Glyph

The Code tool also speaks HTML — rendered live on the canvas — and keeps Python and Swift sketches alongside your work, so ideas about code live next to everything else.

Alive by design

A slightly different app, every time you arrive.

Every time you open Rune Dream, it wakes up wearing a new accent color drawn from a sixteen-hue wheel — and it never repeats the one you saw last. There's no picker, and that's the point: small, harmless change re-engages your attention. Tools that never change go invisible; a space that greets you slightly differently each visit stays vivid, and a little novelty is one of the oldest, gentlest sparks for creative thinking. Only the hue ever moves — legibility and layout stay put.

This site keeps the same ritual — today it greeted you in Sage. Come back tomorrow and it'll be something else.

How it works

Open the app, start talking. Everything else happens in the background.

Speak or type

The live transcript shows every word as you say it, and complete thoughts become cards — the app waits for the whole idea rather than rushing out half a sentence.

Watch it organize

The canvas clusters related ideas, distills cards into scannable headlines, folds returning topics into what you already said, and connects supporting and contradicting ideas.

Make it real

Pull your thinking into a dream canvas and shape it — or end the session and Rune Dream writes a short hand-off note in your own voice, ready for tomorrow morning.

Your thinking stays on your device.

On-device speech, embeddings, language model, sensing — no servers, no accounts, no analytics of our own, no third-party SDKs. A runtime network guard blocks any request that isn't to an Apple system endpoint required by the OS. Your work lives in the app's local storage, excluded from iCloud backup by default. The app exists to help your mind, not to harvest it. Read the full privacy policy →

Software that bends to the shape of your creativity.

Rune Dream is in private beta. iPhone and iPad, iOS 26 and up. We'd love your thinking to be among the first.
