What's New in Saudade

1.2.1

October 21, 2026

Your first line is free. Choose a thread and read its opening line before you decide anything. Each thread now begins with a line chosen by hand. New voices in the library: Rumi, Tennyson, Yeats, Frost, and more of Sappho, each line verified word for word against the original book. The widget turns at midnight. Once you've read today's line, your home screen shows whose line is waiting tomorrow. Small fixes and improvements throughout.

Breath of fresh air.

What a wonderful way to start one’s day. A wonderful cup of coffee a pastry and a quote to get the mind going. The vast array of quotes. Wow. Never knew I needed this until I got it.

Simple and Beautiful

I really love this app. I look forward to seeing what the line is each day, and I’ve saved quite a few that stuck with me. If you love poetry and good writing, this app is such a gem.

Just what i needed!!!

I came across this app during a writers block episode and I had it no more. Everyday there’s a quote that brings forth my creativity. I love it.

Great Writing Prompt Material

I’ve been using the app daily for about 2 weeks now. The quote selection is great and thought provoking. It’s easy to get in a daily writing exercise done and I like the ability to export writing!

Love Love Love
