We make apps you buy once. No advertising, no subscription, no account, and nothing about you leaves your device.
The Dreammaker023 LLC is an independent studio in Miami, Florida. It exists to make a particular kind of software: things you open at two in the morning, that are beautiful to be inside, and that do not spend your attention on anything other than what you came for.
Why one purchase
Most apps now rent themselves to you. We think a thing you love should be a thing you own. You buy it, you keep it, and a later app from us is a separate decision you are free to make or not — never a toll on the one you already bought.
That choice is also why there are no ads. An app paid for by advertising has to be built to hold you; an app paid for once can simply be built well.
What we do not collect
Nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics and no tracking inside our apps. Your paintings, your photographs and your journal entries stay on your device, and we have no way to read them. The privacy policy says the same thing at greater length, and it is short.
The cast
Our work is built around characters from a world of our own. The Dreammaker023 — the top hat, the blue mirrored glasses, the gold dust — is the mind: the one who bends things and sets the puzzles. Hypnos builds the worlds, and keeps the quieter rooms where the sound lives.
They are friends, whatever the posters say. Each of them will have apps of their own in time.
Dream Scape
The first release. Twenty-three rooms behind twenty-three cards: mahjong, sudoku, crosswords, word search, jigsaws cut from your own photographs, a painting studio, a camera, a gallery, a dream journal whose entries become stars, and a sleep engine whose layers are generated live rather than streamed.
It runs with no connection at all. You can try the painting studio and a word search here in the browser, free, before deciding anything.
Press, questions and support all go to the same place, and it is read by the person who made the thing you are writing about. See contact.
