Features

Every DreamList feature, explained.

DreamList is a social bucket list: share your dreams, find people who want the same, and make them happen together. A goal and habit tracker, a travel map and a friendly little game come built in. Here is everything it does, and how each part works.

01 · Together

People who share your dreams

The heart of DreamList. Every dream connects you with people who want the same thing, so you can learn from each other, keep each other going and do it together.

Like-minded people

DreamList suggests people whose bucket lists overlap with yours and shows how many dreams you share.

Follow and be followed

Follow people to see their dreams and wins. Your profile shows your followers and the people you follow.

What your friends are dreaming

See the dreams of people you follow, and which of your own dreams they also wish for.

Reactions, comments and chat

React to and comment on dreams, message people directly, and keep conversations grouped by the dream they are about.

02 · Together

Discover and dream pages

Bucket list ideas from real people, and a page for every dream with the people and tips behind it.

Four ways to browse

Friends shows dreams from people you follow. For you suggests dreams for your list. Top shows the most-wished dreams worldwide, and Near you shows what is popular in your country.

Wish this too

One tap adds someone's dream to your own list, so you can give it your own deadline, photo and plan.

A page for every dream

See the people who wish for the same thing, the people who already did it, and organizations that can help you get there.

Tips from people who did it

Advice from people who made the dream happen: routes, costs, the best time to go and what to watch out for, with photos and places.

03 · Together

Organizations and events

Clubs and organizations can host dreams and events, so you can find people to make a dream happen with.

Organization pages

See what an organization offers, the dreams it supports and the events it is planning.

Events around a dream

Every event shows its date, place and who is going.

Go, Interested or Decline

Answer in one tap. Add the event to your calendar, open it in maps or share it with a friend.

Event chat and polls

Talk with the other people going, and vote in polls organizations run for their community.

04 · Plan

Your bucket list

Write down every dream, from a weekend trip to a life goal that takes years, and give it what it needs to actually happen.

Add a dream in seconds

Type what you want to do, like “run a marathon” or “learn to surf”, and it is on your list. Add the details now or later.

A photo, a deadline and a country

Give every dream a cover photo, a target date and the country it happens in. The country is what fills in My Map.

Categories, priority and a description

Sort dreams into categories such as travel, health, family or learning, mark what matters most, and write down why it matters.

Subtasks and a progress bar

Break big life goals into small steps. Tick them off and watch the progress bar fill up on your list.

Repeated dreams and streaks

Turn routines like “push-ups every day” into repeated dreams: daily, on weekdays, weekly or on your own schedule. A streak chart shows every week you showed up, and the “Soon” strip on your profile shows what is due today.

Reminders that speed up

Switch on a reminder and choose its schedule. Reminders come more often as your deadline gets closer, so a dream never quietly slips by.

A punishment, if you need one

Need more pressure? Pick a punishment you promise yourself if you do not follow through, and keep yourself honest.

Finish, fail or start again

Mark a dream as done when it comes true, mark it failed if it did not work out, and restart it whenever you are ready. Finished and failed dreams stay editable.

Private or public, chat or no chat

Every dream can be public on your profile or private to you. You also decide whether other people can start a chat about it.

Add someone else's dream

Found a dream you love on a friend's list or in Discover? Tap “Wish this too” and it is on yours, ready for your own deadline.

05 · Play

Points and rewards

DreamList keeps score, so progress on your bucket list feels like progress in a game.

Dreamer points

Earned for every dream you add to your list. They show what you are dreaming of, and they grow the dream-world tree on your Dream Tree island.

Winner points

Earned for every dream you make happen. They grow your tree, appear on your profile and unlock achievements.

The “dream complete” moment

When a dream comes true, add your photo. DreamList shows it as a before-and-after polaroid next to the day you wrote the dream down, and counts the days in between.

Share your win

Send the polaroid to friends in one tap. The people who follow you see your win and can react and comment.

06 · Play

Dream Tree

A floating island with a tree that grows as your dreams come true. Here are a few moments from it. The rest is yours to discover in the app.

A tree that grows with you

Your tree grows with the Winner points you earn as dreams come true. It starts as a sprout. How big it gets is up to you.

A tree in the dream world

Beneath the island, a second, cloud-white tree grows with your Dreamer points: the dreams you are still working toward.

Seasons that notice you

The season on your island changes with how often you open the app. Show up often and it blossoms. Stay away for a while and see what happens.

A sky that keeps your time

Sunrise, sunset and starry nights follow your phone's own clock.

A leaderboard of friends

See how you and the people you follow compare, and who has been making the most dreams happen.

Your name and points on the island

Your photo and name hang from a branch, and your Winner and Dreamer totals are carved into the stone sign.

07 · Play

Achievements

Figures to collect on your island, each one growing from toy to legend as your bucket list comes true.

Figures with a secret

Every figure has a dream form, and you only see it once you unlock it. A paper boat dreams of the open sea, a pawn of a crown. The others stay a mystery until you get there.

Unlocked by your points

Each achievement unlocks when your all-time Dreamer points, Winner points, or both reach its threshold. Once unlocked, it is yours to keep.

The newest one stands on your island

Your latest achievement appears on the land beside your tree, with its dream form reflected in the world below.

A trophy window and a notification

Tap the trophy on your Dream Tree to see every card, unlocked or still locked with the points it needs. New unlocks get a ribbon, and a notification tells you the moment one happens.

08 · Travel

My Map

A travel journal of the world, with every country you have visited filled with its flag and your travel bucket list outlined, waiting its turn.

A world map in which visited countries are filled with their flags and wish-list countries have a dashed green outline

It fills itself in from your dreams

Finish a dream in a country and it is marked visited. Add an open dream in a country and it joins your wish list.

Or mark countries yourself

Tap any country to mark it visited or want to visit. You can also hide a country that your dreams would otherwise fill.

Flags, outlines and polaroids

Visited countries fill with their national flag, wish-list countries get a dashed outline, and photos from finished dreams pin to the page.

Stats that keep score

A side rail counts the countries you have visited, the share of the world they make up and the places still on your list.

Zoom in up to 32×

Pinch to zoom and drag to explore. Even the smallest countries are sharp enough to show their flag.

Dreams by country, and friends' maps

Tap a country to see every dream tied to it, open one or create a new one. Open a friend's map to compare where you have both been.
