## What is By Heart?

By Heart is a reading practice for people who love poetry.

Open a poem. Read it aloud. The app listens, follows along, and remembers.

That's the whole app.

—

A QUIET LIBRARY

A curated collection of public-domain poetry from the writers who shaped the English language—from the early American voice to the Romantics, from quiet interiors to wide open songs.

Whatever you're in the mood for, a poem is waiting.

—

HOW IT WORKS

Tap to begin. The page follows your voice line by line, gently highlighting where you are. Stumble, pause, reread—nothing breaks. When you finish, the poem stays with you.

Over time, your readings grow into a quiet record—poems returned to, lived with, known by heart.

WHY READ ALOUD

Poetry was meant to be spoken. Reading aloud slows you down, lets the rhythm enter your body, and turns a screen-bound minute into something closer to ritual.

This is not a course. There are no streaks to defend, no badges, no social feed. Just the poem, your voice, and the room you're in.

—

NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING.

By Heart is a quiet app, made by one person, for people who still love language.

One-time purchase. Yours forever.
