For parents and their little dreamers

Live the dream, my love.

Your child says a dream out loud. Dream in a Jar paints them living it, in soft watercolor, and keeps it safe in a jar of their own.

The app showing a child's spoken wish, "I want to go camping," painted as a watercolor scene of the child by a campfire inside a jar

Your child says

“I want to build a really big snowman!”

…and a moment later, there they are, building it.

Three little steps

Made to do together. A parent leads, a child dreams out loud.

A spoken dream turned into a watercolor scene inside a jar

1. Say a dream

Your child speaks a wish. Seconds later they see themselves living it, painted in watercolor.

2. Keep it in a jar

Seal each dream on their shelf. When the day comes, mark it “We did it!” or gently let it go.

Share a dream with grandparents and everyone who cares about your little one.

Made by a parent

I built this for my son.

Hi, I’m David. I started building apps during parental leave, and Dream in a Jar began with my own kid’s wild ideas. I wanted somewhere to keep them, and a way to show him what they might look like.

Every child deserves to see a dream come true, so a portion of what Dream in a Jar earns goes to nonprofits that make dreams come true for kids in need.

Dream in a Jar is the first app from GoodApp Labs, my independent studio. Watch how I’m building it on YouTube.

Your family’s dreams, handled with care

Voice clips are deleted

We turn the recording into text to paint the dream, then the audio is gone.

Photos stay on your device

Your child’s photo is stored on your phone or in your browser, and only sent out to paint each new dream.

First names only

We ask for your child’s first name and nothing more. Set up and used by a parent.

What’s your kid dreaming about?

Ask them tonight. Then watch it come to life.
