How does the reveal work?

When you start a journey, you choose a photo and a length: 7 days, 30 days, or a custom number of days. That photo is divided into pieces. Each day you successfully check in, one more piece is revealed, both in the app and on your home screen widget, until the full photo is uncovered.

How do daily check-ins work?

Once a day, open the app or use the widget to mark your check-in for that day. You can set a daily reminder so you don't miss one. If you miss a day, your journey simply waits for your next check-in, and your revealed progress isn't lost.

What happens if I mark a day as missed?

That day's piece stays covered, a little more heavily than a day still ahead of it, in the cover's own color. The days either side of it keep opening as normal, and every piece you have already earned stays earned. Nothing resets and there is no streak to lose. Missed days stay visible on purpose, as a record of the days that got away from you.

Which devices does it work on?

Each ecosystem syncs across its own devices. Apple devices, meaning iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, sync your journey through your iCloud account, so a check-in on one shows up on all of them. Android devices, phones and watches, sync your journey through your Google account, so a check-in on one shows up on all of them. On the free version, syncing stays inside one ecosystem: your iPad will not sync to a Pixel. Premium is what crosses that line. Turn on cross-platform sync and your journeys follow you between Apple, Android, Windows and Linux, which is the part Apple and Google cannot do for each other. One subscription covers Apple, Android, Windows and Linux either way.

What do I get for free?

One journey at a time, 7 or 30 day lengths, the Petals reveal style, the home screen widget, the watch app, the daily reminder, a countdown to your next check-in, your choice of text color over the photo, and every journey you finish is kept. Exporting a finished reveal as an image is free too, with no watermark unless you turn one on. Your journeys back up through your own iCloud or Google account, and nothing is uploaded to us.

What do I get with Premium?

Your journeys follow you between Apple, Android, Windows and Linux, with sync that is encrypted before it leaves your device. Several journeys at once. Any journey length, or pick the end date and the app counts the days. Rest days, so the weekdays you take off are not missed days. App Lock, which keeps the app behind Face ID, Touch ID, your fingerprint or a password. Seven cover colors. And two more reveal styles: Rings and Arcs. Premium also adds your finished photos as a gallery and per-journey results, and lets a journey repeat, so a routine you keep going starts its next round on its own. Today's cover softens as the day goes on, a slow cue that uncovers nothing. Exporting a finished reveal is free for everyone, on the free tier too, and so is backup through your own iCloud or Google account.

You can move the cover strength, the cover color and the reveal style on your own photo before you pay, so you can see exactly what you are buying. The paywall only appears when you save what you have chosen.

How do I restore a purchase?

If you've subscribed and reinstalled the app or moved to a new device, open Settings within the app and choose "Restore Purchases." On iOS, your subscription is restored automatically based on your Apple Account. On Android, open the Play Store, tap the menu, go to Subscriptions, and make sure you're signed in with the same Google account you subscribed with. If you bought Premium on this website, open Settings in the app, choose Sign In, and enter the six digit code we email to the address you paid with.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

On iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions, select Reveal the Dream, and adjust or cancel from there. On Android, open the Play Store app, tap the menu, go to Subscriptions, select Reveal the Dream, and adjust or cancel from there. App Store and Google Play subscriptions are managed through your store account, and changes take effect at the end of the current billing period. If you bought Premium on this website, manage your subscription here to change your plan, update your card or cancel.

How do I delete my data?

Everything about your journeys lives on your device, so deleting the app permanently removes your dream photo, your check-in history and all app data from it. If you never turned on Premium's cross-platform sync and never signed in, that is all of it, because we never had anything to delete. If you did turn sync on, we hold one encrypted copy we cannot read: turning sync off deletes it within 30 days, the Delete Account button in the app deletes it at once, and you can ask us to delete it at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Can I change my dream photo or journey length after starting?

You can start a new journey at any time from within the app. Check the app's settings for the most current options for editing an in-progress journey.
