What makes Minsence different
Remembers, so you don't have to
Most dream readings are gone the moment you close them. Minsence keeps your journal, so each reflection can build on the dreams that came before.
Looking back, not forward
Minsence does not sell predictions. It helps you look back and recognize your own symbols, themes and cycles.
Dreams and moonlight, woven together
Every entry is linked to the moon phase of its night, so you can see how your inner world moves with the sky.

Minsence is on its way to iOS and Android.
