Lucidly

Lucidly is a lucid dreaming companion for iPhone and Apple Watch that uses AI to recognize REM sleep and gently cue you at the right moment. By monitoring your sleep vitals in real time, Lucidly estimates when you’re most likely dreaming and then delivers subtle haptic signals through your Apple Watch. These timed prompts are designed to help you notice the dream state without fully waking up—making it easier to become lucid and take control of your dreams.

The app supports popular lucid dreaming methods, including Wake Back To Bed (WBTB), Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD), Dream Induced Lucid Dreaming (DILD), and Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dreaming (DEILD). Whether you’re experimenting with different techniques or trying to build a consistent routine, Lucidly lets you tailor how and when alerts occur. You can adjust sensitivity thresholds, set alarm duration, choose haptic patterns, and fine-tune the overall intensity so prompts are noticeable but not disruptive.

Lucidly also integrates with Apple Health to use available sleep and vitals data for monitoring and analysis. Over time, you can use this feedback to understand your REM timing, refine alert settings, and improve your chances of catching dreams as they happen. A subscription is required, and you can configure the app to match your sleep schedule and preferred induction approach.

Important note: haptic cues can increase awareness during dreams, but lucid dreaming isn’t guaranteed—results vary by person, sleep quality, and consistency. With the right settings and practice, Lucidly aims to make lucid dreaming more approachable by delivering prompts when they matter most.
