## What is HaikuSage?

HaikuSage is a quiet daily companion for classical Japanese haiku, with original text, romaji, English translation, and optional AI commentary on the seasonal image.

WHAT IT DOES
- A single curated haiku each day from Basho, Buson, Issa, Shiki, Chiyo-ni, and Onitsura
- Original Japanese, romaji, and English translation together on one clean reading screen
- Optional AI commentary that explains imagery, season words, tone, and possible interpretations
- A searchable library of classical haiku by poet, season, and text
- A private on-device journal for your question, commentary, note, and saved poem
- One free AI commentary each day; Pro unlocks unlimited commentary

DESIGN
HaikuSage is built for slow reading: warm paper color, restrained indigo and bamboo accents, serif typography, and Apple-native SwiftUI controls.

PRIVACY
- No account
- No email collection
- No analytics SDKs
- Journal entries stay on-device with SwiftData
- Commentary requests send only the selected haiku and your typed question

FREE
Full library browsing, daily haiku, one AI commentary per day, and private journal entries.

PRO
Monthly: $4.99/month
Yearly: $19.99/year

Pro includes unlimited AI commentary. Subscriptions renew automatically through Apple and can be cancelled from App Store account settings.

WHY HAIKUSAGE
Many poetry apps behave like feeds. HaikuSage is a focused pocket reader for the Japanese masters: original-and-translation haiku, a thoughtful explanation when you ask for one, and a private place to keep the poem that stayed with you.

Built in Australia.
