    "Babe, wake up, new Leaderboard just dropped." In today's edition: dive into your subconscious with a dream journal, a Strava-like app but for bookworms, and do you really need another ChatGPT wrapper? Let's dive in.

    Never stop dreaming

    DreamMuse: Explore your subconscious and gain insights with every dream you record. 

    I’m one of those people blessed or cursed with very vivid dreams which has led me to be fascinated by the science behind the subconscious. DreamMuse feeds right into that for me. It combines science and spiritualism pretty well letting you breakdown your dreams into categories and feed them into a calendar view. It even comes with a sentiment analysis feature. On the flip side, you can explore the symbolism behind each dream, pair them with tarot cards and use AI to interpret them. My only feature request is a GitHub-style contribution graph but for dreams.

    Strava for bookworms

    ReadHero: An iOS app for tracking books and reading

    ReadHero combines lots of features available in other apps — AI text recognition, reading list organization, streak tracking, and note capture — in one place. There’s a lot of potential here; social gamification is a natural fit for ‘healthy’ hobbies like reading and exercise, and I can see something like ReadHero eventually becoming the Strava for bookworms. But before it gets there, the app will need a few more integrations, including (at the minimum) support for Kindle/Notion/Goodreads notes.

    Why not GPT?

    MyBabyhelp: An AI assistant to help with parenting.

    I wanted to like MyBaby.help with every fiber in my being. As a recent parent of #2, a support system is in dire need. However, as I'm reviewing the app and getting ready to be onboarded I find myself thinking "I do this already with ChatGPT," which begs the question - how can apps differentiate from having a system with so much knowledge that can reply in human-like candor with a simple question. I find myself using the advanced voice model on ChatGPT for simple conversations, to questions, to helping me calm down an recenter while my second child is non-stop crying. In a world where I'm trying to delete more apps from my phone, can someone tell me why the next app...is better than my ChattyG?
